    Solution

    In a move to boost planned industrialisation and urbanization, the Uttar Pradesh government has earmarked nearly Rs 6,000 crore for land acquisition across the state.  The amount would be spent on purchasing land parcels from farmers and landowners in the arid Bundelkhand region. New townships in seven towns—Gorakhpur, Bareilly, Bulandshahar, Agra, Aligarh, Jhansi and Chitrakoot—will also be acquired.      While the major chunk of Rs 5,000 crore would be spent on Bundelkhand land by the proposed Bundelkhand Industrial Development Authority (BIDA), the remaining portion of Rs 1,000 crore would be incurred on new townships.
