Haryana Streamlines Land Acquisition Process with E-Bhoomi Portal and Aggregators

Chandigarh, February 1: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal announced a shift in the state’s land acquisition approach, emphasizing transparency and farmer participation through the e-Bhoomi portal and registered aggregators.

Key Points:

• E-Bhoomi Portal: Farmers can now submit land details on the portal for sale at collector and market rates.
• Aggregator Involvement: Aggregators encourage land participation and receive a commission per acre. They ensure consent and enter land information on the portal.
• Market Rate Clarity: The difference between collector and market rates should not exceed 10-15%.
• Government Land Utilization: Existing land within government departments will be transferred or purchased as needed.
• New Collector Rates: Updated collector rates will be issued soon for transparency.
• Aggregator Responsibilities: Ensuring the land is free from encumbrances like high-tension wires, legal disputes, or access issues.
• Departmental Collaboration: The Revenue Department will identify land needs for development projects, and aggregators will facilitate acquisition with landowner consent.

Benefits:

• Increased transparency and farmer participation in land acquisition.
• Faster project execution due to readily available land.
• Potential for better compensation for farmers through market-driven rates.
• Reduced disputes and conflicts through clear guidelines and procedures.

Overall, the initiative aims to streamline land acquisition in Haryana, balancing development needs with fair compensation for landowners.
