Bhopal, Dec 15

As many as 24 out of the total 89 families being displaced for India's first 'PM MITRA Park' in Bhainsola village of Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh have been provided new homes in the first phase.

While the remaining 65 other families will be provided homes in the next phases under the rehabilitation plan, ensuring a better quality of life for them, the state government said in a statement on Monday.

Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) is developing a well-planned residential colony in the nearby area for the rehabilitation of a total of 89 families residing on the land earmarked for the PM MITRA Park.

"The rehabilitation colony being developed for the PM MITRA Park includes a total of 89 permanent 2-BHK houses and 140 developed plots. Rehabilitation project worth Rs 13.48 crore to be completed by April 2026," MPIDC stated on Monday.

In accordance with the state government's policy, industrial development is being pursued while ensuring the welfare of every affected family.

Accordingly, special emphasis has been laid not only on providing housing to the families affected by the PM MITRA Park, but also on ensuring a better quality of life for them, the department stated.

The colony has been equipped with all essential facilities such as electricity, piped drinking water, roads, drainage, and an STP. The cost of each house has been estimated at around Rs 6 lakh.

In addition, facilities including an Anganwadi centre, a primary school, parks and a community building have also been developed. From a security perspective, the entire campus has been covered with a boundary wall.

"The project is expected to be completed by April 2026, after which houses will be handed over to all remaining beneficiaries in a phased manner. The 140 developed plots will be utilised in the future for other rehabilitation requirements," it said.

Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation of India's first Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park in MP's Dhar district on September 17.

While the initiative sounds good on paper, the timeline is concerning. April 2026 is over a year and a half away. What happens to the 65 families in the interim? Proper temporary arrangements and compensation must be ensured until their permanent homes are ready.

Including an Anganwadi, school, and community building shows they are thinking about creating a proper community, not just dumping houses. This is crucial for social rehabilitation. If executed well, this can be a model for other projects across India.

A 2-BHK house costing ~6 lakhs with all amenities is a fair deal, especially in today's real estate market. The MITRA Park will also bring jobs to the region. Hope the displaced families get first preference for those employment opportunities. That's true welfare.

The government must ensure complete transparency in the allocation process. No favoritism! All 89 families should get what is promised. Also, what about their agricultural land? Were they compensated fairly for that as well? The article doesn't mention it.

It's heartening to see a planned approach. Often, rehabilitation colonies lack basic infrastructure, leaving people worse off. Piped water, drainage, and an STP are essential. Hope the quality of construction is good and doesn't end up being a scam.
