Prosperity from Jewar airport brings the good life, alcoholism and suicides to UP villages

Jewar (UP): Raja Thakur, a 24-year-old resident of Jewar on the outskirts of Delhi, is planning to drive down to Goa in his newly-bought car, an SUV worth Rs 14 lakh.
The SUV isn’t something he could have aspired to purchase until recently.
Not until his family farmland was acquired for the upcoming Jewar airport, which will serve as a much-needed second international airport for the bustling Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR).
The airport is going to be built in partnership with a Swiss company, Zurich Airport International AG, and around 1,334 hectares of land has been acquired in Jewar towards the first phase.
Compensations handed out by the Uttar Pradesh government total around Rs 3,000 crore, with payouts for individual families extending to Rs 8.4 crore for nearly 40 bighas (a land unit with varying definitions used across India) or Rs 21 lakh/bigha.
