K'taka: Jagadish Shettar hails state government's recent amendment to Land Reform Act

Kalaburagi, Aug 31 (UNI) Minister of Large and Medium Scale Industries Jagadish Shettar on Monday strongly justified the state governments recent amendment to the Land Reforms Act and said the removal of clauses A and B of Section 79 in the Act would pave the way for rapid industrialisation.

Addressing an interaction programme organised by Hyderabad Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industries (HKCCI) here, Mr Jagadish Shettar said "I had, along with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, participated in the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland. Industrialists from across the world who took part in the meet hailed Karnataka as an industry-friendly state, but expressed concerns over the impediments in getting lands for the establishment of units. Section 79 (A) and 79 (B) in the Land Reforms Act were there to harass industrialists. They were obstacles for industrialists to get lands hassle-free for the establishment of factories as well as for non-agriculture persons to purchase agriculture lands. They were helpful neither to farmers nor to industrialists. We therefore removed them. With the amended Act in force, industrialists can directly purchase lands instead of doing it through KIADB or other State-run agencies," he said adding that the amendment would, in no way, affect the farming community or the farm sector as a whole, as it would rather increase the value of the agricultural lands.
