West Bengal government has decided to utilise its
unused land for setting up fruit farms.
The project will start with a farm on 810
hectares unused piece of land, spread over Ranibandh, Raipur, Simlapal, Onda,
Taldangra, Hirbandh and Indopur blocks of Bankura district.
This is part of a mega project named as
’Horticulture Development in Paschimanchal Districts’. Five districts forming
the western region of the state are part of this project – Bankura, Purulia,
Paschim Medinipur, Birbhum and West Burdwan.
The farmers who have agreed to plant fruit trees in
these plots of land would be given all forms of assistance by the state
government including selling the fruits outside the state.
