’ZERO LANDLESS PROJECT

The Kerala government's ambitious 'Zero Landless Project' aimed at providing land to all landless people in the state by 2015, will be launched by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi here on September 8, Revenue Minister Adoor Prakash has said. In the first phase, title deeds would be distributed to 17,260 identified beneficiaries in six southern districts upto Ernakulam, the minister said. Gandhi would inaugurate the distribution of title deeds at the central stadium here. A total of 77,306 plots, measuring three cents each, had been identified across the state so far, the minister said. 

The location of plots would be fixed through draw of lots to avoid complaints. Of 2,33,232 families listed as landless in the state, one lakh people would be provided land in the first phase. By 2015,all landless in Kerala would get land, he said. Surplus land and barren revenue land has been earmarked for implementing the first phase
