future and in this background he requested the chairman to bring the Large industries in the said area and such industries should not put any impact on the Environment, no loss in this area.

He also requested that, the Local peoples should be given 1st preference for employment in these industries which are being now constructed, as the local peoples are spoiling their life without any employment. He also requested that they have not received any compensation for their Bore wells, House, well and Trees existed in their lands which was acquired by the KIADB and hence further developmental works should be done only after the payment of the compensation.

considered the left off Trees, Bore wells, wells, plants and residences and same will be registered and compensation will be issued as early as possible.

6 Sri. Shankar Linga, Kadechur village, Tq: Yadgir D:Yadgir He expressed as follows:

As per the assurance of earlier Deputy Commissioner, Dr. Jagadish, they have handed over their lands at Kadechur, Badiyal and Shettihalli villags. But so for, they have not received the proper compensation for the lands and it make them troublesome to get the compensation and till there is balance compensation amount to be dispersed by the KIADB.

The earlier Deputy Commissioner, Smt. Gurunit Tej Menan, had fixed Rs.6.00Lakhs per acre of Land to the land losers. But so for no action has been taken in this regard. However they have not opposed to the said rate for land because of thought that Large scale industries are proposed to be coming up in the said lands which made their life to improve and hence they have given the lands to the KIADB.

But on hearing it was came to know that, in the name of Co-Co-Cola and Textile Parks, 53 Chemical Factories are coming which may be of A or B-Category type of industries. One cannot know which type of industry are

Comments by the Chairman of Public Hearing Committee

The Chairman on commenting to the above issues he informed that there is no doubt Large Industries are proposed in these area. Out of 3232.22 acres 60 acres of land is presently developing for small scale industries which results in increase of employment in future. The Large industries may invest about Rs.300 to Rs.400 corers and if each person per acre get employment, there shall be of 500 employments in the villages. In additions to Large industries the small scale industries are also establishing and at least 3 peoples get employment in each of small industries and the Local peoples may invest Rs. 1 to 3 crores for the establishment of the small scale industries. During his comment he also added that apart from this, about 5 to 10 employments will be available in Rice Industry, Cotton Industry, Cement Industry, Fabrication units, Garment industries, Brick manufacturing units etc. and hence, small scale industries are also essential in additions to large industries. In Small scale industry, Manager post may be filled up by the SSLC passed students and in Large industry the Manager post may be






these. To quote an example, in Hyderabad city the industries which are located outskirt of the city have now become in the center of the city that resulted in bad smell affecting the public health and also the smoke and chemicals emitted from the factory falls on the utensils. This has resulted in the suffering of peoples by blindness, birth of handicapped children etc. Therefore, because of the strikes of the peoples of that area, these chemical industries are coming up in Kadechur area and hence he requested not to allow such industries in the Kadechur, Badiyal and Shetti halli villages and to allow the good kind of industries in these areas.

He hoped that, the farmers of these areas should not waste their compensation money and should utilize the same by procuring the Tractors, JCB etc to their belongings which will help them in getting the jobs in future coming industries. He also hopes that, as the industries are coming up, they required the said machines and vehicles for different works and hence the industrialist should take or consider the local peoples vehicles and machineries for their construction works instead of procuring from outside or from their relatives. He also said that, they have prepared the list of 30 to 35 Tractor owner lists in Kadechur village and some peoples are having the JCB also but they don't have any work and hence he requested for the jobs for both workers and for JCB and Tractors and he also added that the some companies are outsourcing the workers which has to be stopped.

filled up by the students who have completed either Diploma or Engineering degree. In this way, the opportunity of getting more employment is more in case of small scale industries and same was accepted by the KIADB Officials and Publics.

The Chairman of Public Hearing Committee also informed that, about 30 to 40 numbers of public usage medicine manufacturing industries are proposed in these areas. The Environmental deteriorating units will not be allowed and the Eco friendly industry which are less polluting the underground water, less Air polluting industries are allowed and these will be monitored as per the Law while according Environmental Clearance and same was accepted by the KIADB Officals.

The Chairman of Public Hearing Committee informed that, the KIADB peoples should compulsorily take the Local people and land losers for the development works and also for the construction activities of industries, as they have already procured the JCB & Tractors and they should not take out side vehicles except the vehicles of local peoples. He quoted an example of Sri. Mallanna who has lost his 3 acres of land bearing Sy.no.172 to the KIADB and had procured the JCB and Tractor either in his name or in his son name. Likewise many peoples of Kadechur and Badiyal village have procured such vehicles and they should be given with the jobs as per rojgar. In order to avoid the confusion the respective Gram Panchayat should prepare the list of persons who have procured the JCB and Tractors either in their name or in their belonging names and should adopt the Auto system followed in the Railway Station. The peoples should not expect any salary without executing any work and KIADB can hire Vehicle and people can be take for work as per procedure and norms and same was accepted by the KIADB Officials and have assured to

For young boys four wheeler Driving training will be given and for which already, one driving school was opened in Yadgir and the youths should take the benefit of the same and same was agreed by the KIADB Officials.

The Chairman of Public Hearing Committee also informed that, the Security and Labor jobs/ works are available and the shops like Hotels and Pan baeda shops will also can be opened in the said area which will provide indirect employments and the Loan for such shops will be made available with the recommendations of Gram Panchayat. In future days the jobs like Carpenter, Fitter etc are available for which one has to take 3 to 4 months training, as the possibility of getting Environmental Clearance may take further 2 years and therefore getting the training makes the life of villagers better in future and same was accepted by the KIADB Officials.
