Projects near BIAL yet to see light of day

Bangalore: Prestigious aerospace and other engineering projects have been planned near the upcoming Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL) that will redefine the industrial landscape of Bangalore.
Yet, they may not take off on time owing to the "very difficult and complex process of land acquisition"and the "necessity to avoid acquiring cultivable land".
The government has, in principle, approved the setting up of a hardware technology park near BIAL. It has also okayed a private party’s offer to build the park in 1,300 acres of land.
The preliminary notification for land, which was forwarded to the government, has also been cleared. "The question now is to notify farmers.
The government has to convince them why it needs the land and what is in it for them? There will have to be spin-offs from the hardware park in some way or the other to persuade farmers to part with the land.
