New expressway: Uttar Pradesh, which was once known for its slow growth pace, is changing its destiny with the trap of the expressway today. After the Yamuna Expressway, Agra-Lucknow Expressway, Purvanchal Expressway and Bundelkhand Expressway, now another new expressway is getting ready to give new speed to the development of the state. This expressway will not only facilitate traffic, but will also open new doors of prosperity to the farmers and residents of those areas from where it will pass. Especially farmers of about 54 villages, including Bulandshahr, are going to benefit directly from the project, and their lands can give them an opportunity to “play in crores”.

How will the vault of luck open for farmers?
-
Land increased compensation: When the government acquires farmers’ land for expressway projects, they are given many times more compensation than the market rate. This compensation amount can be done in crores, which can lead to a big change in the economic situation of farmers overnight.
-
Increased connectivity: The construction of the expressway will make the connectivity of these villages excellent with major cities and markets. This will make it easier for farmers to sell their produce at better price.
-
Bounce in land prices: Commercial and residential activities accelerate in areas around the expressway, which also increases the prices of the remaining land manifold. Farmers can earn additional income by selling their remaining land or using it in commercial use.
-
New business opportunities: The possibility of installation of hotels, motal, petrol pumps, warehouses, cold storage and other industrial units on the side of the expressway increases, leading to new employment and business opportunities for the local people.
-
Better value of agricultural products: With smooth transport, agricultural products will quickly reach the markets, which will reduce waste and farmers will get better prices.
What will be the effect on Bulandshahr and other affected villages?
-
economic prosperity: Compensation to farmers and new economic opportunities will bring unprecedented economic prosperity to these villages.
-
infrastructure development: Along with the expressway, basic facilities like road, electricity, water will also be developed in these areas.
-
Reduction in migration: Due to the local employment opportunities available at the local level, the migration from villages to cities will be reduced.
-
Improvement in standard of living: Better income and facilities will improve the standard of living of people.
Challenges and the role of the government
Although this project is bringing new expectations of development, there are some challenges:
-
Appropriate and timely compensation: Ensuring that farmers get proper and timely compensation of their land are the biggest responsibility of the government.
-
Rehabilitation and Restoration: If a farmer’s house or full livelihood is affected, then proper rehabilitation should be arranged.
-
Environmental Balance: It is also important to maintain environmental balance during development works.
The government will have to pay attention to all these aspects so that this expressway project can actually prove to be a boon for these areas.
