Although I will certainly not support Ms. Mamta Banerjee in her movement against setting up the industry at Singur, it certainly comes to my mind that the farmers etc who have to give their lands to such projects are simply devoid of way to earn bread.
The govt. says that these farmers are being adequately compensated in terms of money etc., but handing over them money without telling them what to do with it does not provide any solution to their problems which start with the acquisition of their lands.
In many states it has been found that the money which was given to the farmers in lieu of their land was not adequate. And in many cases the money was wasted by them on buying items which were not required by them. They were simply misguided by the advertisements of various companies.
I only want to say that first of all they should be adequately compensated. And first of all some sort of the technical training should be provided to them so that they could start earn bread and butter. They should be given preference over others when it comes to the allocation of shops etc. in such areas as these projects attract large no. of workers from outside and chances of emergence a local bazar are quite great.
