Acquisition of land by a project usually
causes loss of land and displacement of habitations
warranting rehabilitation of people. But in the present
case, the project does not cause dislocation of habitations
leading to rehabilitation of people. Prior to the
acquisition, the farmers had just enough income to meet
the daily needs. So they had very little surplus money
and hence they led a miserable life for decades. But after
having received the money following type of changes
have taken place in the lives of the farmers. The farmers
have become self-employment by opening restaurants,
on the state highway, the poultry business, grocery shops
while others have bought commercial vehicle like trucks,
Lorries, JCBs, tractors, pickup vans, goods carriers etc.
Many famers utilized the money for developing their
land by digging wells, bore wells, constructing new farms
lakes, laying pipelines etc. and some have bought bullock
too. Large reservoirs have been created at the site
excavated for secondary minerals along the Samrudhi
expressway. The Samrudhi expressway has caused a
great deal of damage to the environment due to the
extraction of secondary minerals in the area. It has a
protective wall on both sides has hampered the free
movement of wildlife. There was a slight increase in the
addiction level in these villages. There is a rise in
consumption too. Similarly, people are fighting over the
distribution of the money. This newly rising rich people
in the village has started to lead the village in political
matters. If the project is completed, it would be
contribute in economy development, fast transportation,
reducing journey time and road accidents, improving
quality of life of the people/users by providing better,
quick and safe commuting.
