The govt. is paying Rs. 12 lakh/acre for land at singur. This is very high as many people think. But for 900 acre land, I saw there are 13,000 farmers who donated their land.
So a simple average calculation says that there are 14-15 farmers per acre land and in that case each receive less than one lakh.
If each farmer is assumed to be a head of a family of 3-4 dependants then how much does each receive??
These fertile lands are a source of perpetual income to these poor farmers who are unskilled and just marginally literate...they can't do other jobs also We are leaving them to begging..
Can you imagine yourself being given such a paltry sum and asked to refrain yourself from our skill domain for whole life...
Most of these people in this blog think that food grains come from super malls (Reliance fresh etc..)
Although I am not communist but I can only say the TATAs and the govt. are not providing enough compensation to these poor people.
