Solution to Singur --- From Bihar

One issue that struck with India since independence is land acquisition. The problem is more visible in recent years and singur like incidents made everybody think about it. And finally we got the solution from Bihar, I bet nobody expected it from this state :)

Usually govt pics up the land for SEZ and allocates them to companies. And our bureaucrats and politicians got the final word regarding these matters. All the formers who lost their land might not be happy with the acquisition.

The new scheme of Bihar,  which is "aao bihar" i.e come to Bihar, instead of grabbing and giving land , now govt maintains a real estate website like 99acres.com and let the companies and farmers deal with each other. No police, no act, no dharna, no firing , no deaths  ......its good. And its already working too, they have sold a 700 acres of land for thermal power plant.

We cant say this scheme is flawless but its innovative.
