Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini has urged all MLAs to encourage farmers in their respective constituencies to demand fair rates for their land on the e-Bhoomi portal or to offer land under the Land Pooling or Partnership Policy for the establishment of Industrial Model Townships (IMTs). 

The government will provide farmers with the option of Land Pooling Policy and Land Partnership Policy for this purpose, he said. The Chief Minister was responding to concerns raised by the Opposition regarding the establishment of IMTs during discussion on the budget speech in the Vidhan Sabha's budget session here today.

He said that 10 Industrial Model Townships would be developed in the state, and the land requirement for these will be registered on the e-Bhoomi portal at the beginning of the 2025-26 financial year. The specific locations of these IMTs will be decided based on land availability.

The Chief Minister emphasized that the IMTs will be set up wherever suitable land is available and clarified that, unlike the Congress government, the present state government does not resort to forced land acquisition but rather procures land through the Land Pooling Policy in collaboration with farmers.

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini assured the House that the present government is committed to developing 10 new industrial cities, thereby creating lakhs of job opportunities for the youth and fulfilling its promise of economic growth.
