Rural Development Min To Assist In Centre's Land Monetisation Push

Adding thrust to the budget’s ‘asset monetisation’ mantra, the Rural Development Ministry has offered its support to the Centre in identifying the idle assets and land parcels available with ministries. The ministry claimed to have comprehensive record of over 90% villages while assuring assistance in ascertaining the market value and transfer of lands available. Earlier, the Finance Ministry, in the budget document, had stated to monetise non-core assets by using Special Purpose Vehicles.
