’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
