Land allotment process would be monitored by a high-powered committee headed by the Chief Minister himself.
Taking a clue from Central Asian country Uzbekistan, Gujarat government on Tuesday invited high net-worth individuals, institutions and corporate for horticulture farming on lease agreement on barren wasteland owned by the state government.
For the purpose, the state government has initially identified 50,000 acres of barren land in five districts including Surendranagar, Sabarkantha, Patan, Kutch and Banaskantha and allowed farming on lease contract under 'Chief Minister Horticulture Development Mission'.
"During my visit to Uzbekistan, the government there offered barren land to Indian entrepreneurs on lease with a plethora of incentives. We are trying to replicate the same model in Gujarat to transform barren land in cultivable land," said Chief Minister Vijay Rupani while announcing the mission. Accompanied by a high-level business delegation, Rupani had visited Uzbekistan to attend the Central Asian country's first investment summit modelled on the Vibrant Gujarat Summit in October 2019.
