Gurgaon to go eco-friendly

Gurgaon, the pivot of commercial surge in the state of Haryana has been growing at an unprecedented pace since a decade now. Real estate sector has simultaneously throve and cashed upon the raising demand of residential units due to the immigration of working population. So hence forth, accommodation of this professional sector has turned Gurgaon into a forest of concrete. From commercial to residential and mixed land use pockets have been jam-packed with commercial turrets and condominiums.

Gurgaon lodging farmhouses in today’s world sounds inconceivable but it is quite near to be a reality. The state government has decisively planned to formulate the policy for a farmhouse colony in Gurgaon. A 100 acres are supposed to be demarcated to habilitize this colony with each farmhouse to be of a size of 1 to 2.5 acres. The township is envisioned to accommodate about 20-30 farmhouses which will be a role model in today’s polluted and clogged commercial/satellite agglomerations.  In true sense of the notion ‘planned’, this town ship is projected not be an erratic expansion of green enclosures but intricately planned and positioned with the essential infrastructure in and around it. Let’s probe into the provisions of the drafted policy for this farmhouse colony in Gurgaon.

Bound by 6 feet wall, the farmhouse colony will be gated. However, no such boundaries will be permitted inside the colony. Each plot will be segregated with barbed wires and fences. Only Eco-friendly layouts and structures are planned to be permitted inside this colony. The government is striving to make sure that this up-coming space of farmhouses is not used for commercial gains by using it as venues of collective functions and junctures.

A revamped change of land use policy has been in demand for a long time by the realty sector and land owners. Under present provisions, owners of farmland in an agricultural zone can convert this land into a farmhouse by obtaining permission. However, there are tiresome hurdles for such endeavor where the individual aspiring to obtain permission actually becomes a victim of red-tapism. Moreover, even if the permission was granted swiftly, specific provisions are prohibitive to set up a farmhouse on one’s own land. The requisite of a minimum of two acre land to set up a farmhouse is a candid instance of these provisions. Looking at this yet to be ratified farmhouse policy, such obstacles will be scrubbed and a whole new expanse of real estate braced with infrastructure is soon to be a reality.


So far no such conversions of land use have been possible owing to the contentious land use policy and security concerns in this part of Haryana. However, it is envisaged that this colony will be founded upon a well-planned infrastructural investment to be securely sustained for a long time. Equipped with connecting roads, electricity, water and other exigent amenities, the farmhouse colony will be a gasp of fresh air around the outskirts of Gurgaon.
