108 Women’s Alienation most of these groups will leave out the poor and landless. In fact a few influential people of the village have formed the groups and these people already have substantial amount of land with them. If they are also allotted land under these rules then most of the village land will come under their possession. On top of it, the companies can be allotted up to 5000 ha.of land. Thus most of the village land will be in the possession of companies and influential people with the result that people dependent on such land for their livelihood will be deprived of their land and will be pushed to a severe economic crisis. There is no provision of making it compulsory to allot the land of a village to the local person alone, thereby, leaving ground open for influential people of any village to get allotted the land of any other village in their names. It is now possible for a special government committee to approve up to 1000 ha. of land to be given to private companies for Jatropha plantations. Such relaxing of controls makes land investment a far more attractive proposal for large companies like DMC International, a real estate developer. Further, the rules say that land in tribal areas may be allotted to nontribal members as well which is in violation of such laws like Rajasthan Tenancy Act 1955, and Rajasthan Land Revenue Act 1956. Special Economic Zones in Rajasthan India seems to be the only country in the developing world which is going overboard in serving the interests of the corporate world at the cost of the interests of the farmers by creating hundreds of SEZs. Rajasthan took an early lead in acquiring farm land for SEZs by invoking SEZ Act, 2005. According to the Ministry of Commerce, Govt. of India, three SEZs – two near Jaipur and one in Jodhpur – have become operational in Rajasthan. In addition, five others have received ‘formal approval’ and 10 more (including seven multi-product zones above 1000 ha. each, of which five are in Alwar district) await formal approval, having already acquired “in-principle approval”. According to the changes announced by the Government of India in April 2007, the largest of these is the Omaxe SEZ planned in Alwar district which proposes to occupy as much as
Table 23: Approved Sezs in Rajasthan Till July 10 2007 6000 ha. of land, a good 1000 ha. above the legally permissible limit. The total land being acquired for these zones will be around 16081.58 hectares, which, in turn, will lead to the displacement of around 10,000 farmers.

The facts mentioned in the PIL say that the market cost of the land given to Mahindra & Mahindra is Rs. 5000 crores. 109
