256 kbps and called broadband??????? joke in the self proclaimed IT hub or superpower.
Budhha babu is truely trying something good for WB.........which was sadly lacking under avery long misrule of Jyoti Basu.........
Mamata lacks political astuteness to do good for her state...she may not be a cheat like Lalu but she is too whimsical to achieve anything substantial for WB
Re: Damage control: Bengal may give 50 acres each to Infy, Wipro

She has selective retention.She will listen to only those things she likes to listen.
Why do they need acres in a fertile belt? Are are they building land banks for future real estate business. These people first convert fertile land and create food scarcity. Then they corner huge land banks and create artificial land value appreciation. Finally the bubble will bust one day and they start issuing pink slips.
There is no rationale in demanding such huge fertile land banks when they can manage the show with limited land. These guys are a bane to the society.

I agree with Ghose..why dont politicians try to use non-fertile land for such project and why should commercial ventures be given anything free.

for your information, lahman brothers is neither IT nor Real estate company. Get your basics right instead of just blindly following wrong politics of mamta. Only doing populist politics will give her the CM�s seat, but not development. Even now also she has to aquire your so called fertile lands for railway projects.
50 acres of land will cause food scarcity? are you nuts?

we know much about LB and how it is interlinked to ICT business. It is a vicious circle which i dont wanna explain now.
If you allot 50acres to x company, tomorrow many other companies will demand them and finally you end up converting thousands of acres of fertile land when you could hv managed with few hundreds.

In West Bengal due to the irrigation projects, and the flow of Ganga, the land are usually fertile. Very difficult to provide infertile land with infrastructure. So what options we have but to sactifice some fertile land for the sake of development? And our mahisasuromardini even opposing industrialization in island(nayachar)

Re: Re: are they building land banks for real estate business
by S Ghosh on Sep 17, 2009 03:13 PM
we are not against IT. We only advise these IT companies to use optimum land space. When they can manage with less than 10 acres, they should do that instead of creating fertile land scarcity and artificial land appreciation.

Could you please explain do u mean by 'WE'? I know theres an evil force which opposes development of bengal for a) political mileage and b) they know they wouldnt be able to exploit educated & employed people and therefore are scared to offer development, education, industrialization.

From Kolkata to Siliguri in west bengal everything is fertile land, so there should be no industry, land is very much truncated in west bengal due to land reforms, poor farmers now have land, how did u know that 10 acres is sufficient, why not 1 acre or half.
From Kolkata to siliguri in west bengal everything is fertile land, due to land reforms land has become truncated, poor farmers now have land, but the problem is suppose one farmer has two sons, he will divide the land between them and that will cause fall in production because some land will be utilised for demarkation and new technology can not be implemented in small lands, in this way it will make agricultural production go down. So Industry is only solution to provide sustainable income to people. Lands can be merged to make cooperative farm and use technology there to upgrade production.

"Lands can be merged to make cooperative farm and use technology there to upgrade production"
Why cant this be done now? Bengal is one place with perennial water. why cant we build on this strength and be the food bowl of the world?

by Tathagata Dasmajumder on Sep 17, 2009 03:29 PM
Some people say why not make industry in the land of closed factories, what they fail to understand is that every industry has different needs, they will choose a place where it is suitable for them to set it up, not on a place where there was another factory previously

again I will say during the USSR regime, ukraine was called as the bread basket of USSR yet there were industries also, it means there is no quarrel between industries and being a food bowl.
Do not oppose something blindly, think first.
The perenial watre you are talking about is filled with arsenic beacuse of exessive use, instead if combined farming was done then it would emply technology and water wastage can be stopped. Also if there is industries alongside, then the technology like tructor or automatic reaper can be manufactured in bengal only, that will also be of cheaper price because thansportation cost will not be there.
If cooperative farming is to be introduced then also mamta will say govt is grabbing land, that´s the problem.

Sri S Ghosh is not against IT. He advises optimisation.
Does he think that IT companies are filled with fools that they would like to take much land than required?
why should govt.give land to these gaints cash rich cos. at subsidised rates.it should not be given at less than Rs 10 crores per acre.subsidy is to given only to poor people and not to the cos. This allotment of land to cos. at subsidised rates in the past by various govts is nothing but a scam running into billions of dollars.SEZs are also a scam and should be scrapped.
