Chandigarh, July 21, 2025: In a major decision aimed at safeguarding the interests of farmers, the Punjab government has introduced new provisions under its Land Pooling Policy.
According to the latest announcement, farmers who give their consent for land pooling will receive a Letter of Intent (LoI) within 21 days of approval.Until development work begins, farmers will be paid an advance compensation of ₹50,000 per acre annually.
During this period, they can continue farming on their land and retain all income generated from it.Once development activities commence, the annual compensation will be increased to ₹1 lakh per acre, which will be paid regularly until the project is completed.
This move is being seen as a farmer-friendly step by the state government to ensure financial security, transparency, and participation in the development process without disrupting livelihoods.
