Farmers in Siddharthnagar district will now be able to develop industrial areas on their land, thanks to a new initiative by the government. Under this scheme, farmers will create Pledge Parks on their land and lease out industrial plots to entrepreneurs. The government will provide financial assistance to farmers at a low interest rate of 1% to develop these parks.

Government support for farmers

The government has devised a plan to support farmers in developing industrial areas on their land. Farmers with 10-50 acres of land can lease it out and develop industrial areas. The district administration will provide assistance to farmers in securing loans at a low interest rate. The loan amount will be utilized for internal development work, including construction of roads, boundary walls, drainage systems, toilets, and drinking water facilities.

A district-level committee has been formed to assist farmers in developing Pledge Parks. The committee, headed by the District Magistrate, will address any issues faced by farmers and provide necessary support. The committee comprises officials from various departments, including the Chief Development Officer, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Chief Finance Officer, Executive Engineer, and Deputy Director of Industries.

Industrial corridor planned along Gorakhpur-Shamli expressway
