Haryana Government to formulate panchayat land lease policy

Chandigarh, January 7

The Haryana Government is formulating a panchayat land lease policy to increase panchayats income, besides supporting industries to flourish.

Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala presided over a meeting of senior officials of the Development and Panchayat and Industries and Commerce Department.

He directed officials concerned to formulate the panchayat land lease policy, which would generate substantial income from leasing out panchayat land. “This income will lead to maximum development of rural areas. If industries are set up on panchayati land in villages, job opportunities will also be created for the local youth,” the Deputy CM added.

“It is endeavour of the state government to establish industries on non-agricultural land in villages so that rural youth can get jobs. This will also help industries to get workers easily, while migration towards cities will also be reduced,” he added. — TNS
