The controversy which has erupted over the
lands allotted for the establishment of the Indian
Institute of Management in the Gambheeram
mandal has been resolved and the stage is set
for launching the IIM here.
Many farmers and quarry workers in the
earmarked area do not have "pattas" (title
deeds) and therefore are not eligible for
compensation but are agitating for it, as their
livelihood will be affected by the project.
The State HRD Minister, G. Srinivasa
Rao, has said the issue has been resolved and
the Union HRD Minister, Smriti Irani, along with
the Chief Minister, N. Chandra Babu Naidu, will
participate in the foundation stone- laying
ceremony on January 17. Earlier, it was
scheduled for January 5 but it had to be
postponed due to the agitation of farmers.
Admission of students will begin from the
academic year (2015-16) itself and the IIM will be
temporarily housed in Andhra University and
subsequently shifted to Gambhiram after the
completion of the campus construction.
The district authorities have identified more than
400 acres of government land in the
Gambheeram mandal for the setting up of the
educational institute but only 20 or so of the
farmers in the area have D form pattas (lands
assigned by the Government) and the rest do
not have title deeds, though they have been
cultivating the lands unauthorisedly for years.
Therefore, most of the farmers and others such
as quarry workers in the area are not eligible for
compensation, and it has become a livelihood
issue.
Those who do not have pattas are demanding
that they be given pattas now and paid
compensation on a par with patta-holders, a
demand which the authorities say is not a
tenable one.
The minister held discussions with the
farmers on Thursday and said that, "the
interests of the genuine farmers in the area will
be taken care of and the farmers have agreed to
the proposal."
He said compensation would be paid in
accordance with the GO issued for the purpose,
and the livelihood concerns would also be
addressed. He sought the co-operation of the
local leaders and the public for the
establishment of the prestigious institute in their
area.
