Herein probably lies the key to avoiding strife over special economic zones (SEZs).
While industrialists are eyeing farmers' land across the country, a village barely 40 km from the city has taken the initiative to set up its very own SEZ.
And now, the state government has given the go-ahead for this the first farmers' SEZ in the country, which will be set up at Avasari Khurd village in Ambegaon taluka of Pune district.
The 1,500-odd farmers of the village will now form a company — Avasari Khurd Industrial Development Pvt Ltd.
"The SEZ has been proposed on barren land worth Rs 900 crore," said industrialist Sopan Bhor, who mobilised the farmers to explore the possibility of establishing the SEZ.
"Instead of sitting on this asset, we decided to convert it into a capital venture. About 18,000 people stay in the village and not only will everyone get a job, the farmers will also be owners of the SEZ."
