The SEZ policy introduced by the Indian government is a welcome one.

It would provide better job

opportunities and also give India a chance to enter the paths of development processes of the developed
countries. Economic development is a transition phase from primary through secondary to tertiary. 

Our country has only 3% of world land area, but 16% of world population. So we need to manage our
land properly. By using Satellite Imagery we have to allocate lands for Agri, Indus and Resid. And no
fertile lands should be converted to Indus as in case of Singur

India is opening /allotting more and more agriculture land for SEZs. In my view it is a very good move for
the economy of India. The rural areas where there is dearth of facilities like power, water, materials etc
will grow up with urban India. This is also very helpful for Industrial growth of the Indian Economy. 

But what is wrong in starting industries where land is fertile but it is of no use to the owners or to the
government. The ones who did sell the land to the TATAs in Singur must have done so because they
thought that was more profitable in the long run. 

India needs to increase its GDP if it needs to uplift the condition of its citizens as it plays a huge role in
determining per capita income. By the setting up of new industries, it can increase the production and
hence GDP and consequently, put India to a self sustained path to development.

one hand we are spending huge money in irrigating lands, and on the other hand we are diverting
already irrigated lands to ind land. So there is a serious flaw in selection of lands for SEZ & ind purpose 

Therefore to conclude I would say that SEZ in indispensable phenomenon in India. Rather than trying to
reject and repel it, we have to wise up and use this phenomenon to our advantage, the advantage of the
nation as a whole. 

Rajesh: Well. As seen in China, SEZs have played a vital role in their economic resurgence. So we need to
concentrate more on this sector and further take steps not to make the same mistakes done my China.
And along with progress towards industrialization, we need to maintain the balance between Agri & Inds. 

Shilpa Kolte: I conclude by saying that the Government with the new SEZ policy has shown that the focus
is on Industry and services. But also the restraint orders and giving the go ahead to only 70 SEZ instead
of the 630 under consideration shows the Government's concern to ensure the development of all
sectors, or at least that no sector is dealt with unjustly. 

Manish: If India has to move forward more industrial avenues have to be opened, and proper care should
be taken of those people who effected by this. 
Chandana Sunder : India's move into SEZs is to strengthen itself in manufacturing (that's where China
has done very well). As the service industry alone cannot be a job provider to the huge population of
India, SEZs can be seen as a source of employment. Among the success stories for the SEZs include the
IT Parks both at Bangalore and Chennai.
