Projects

The Dravyavati River rejuvenation project was approved in 2015, awarded to a consortium of Tata Group and the Shanghai Urban Construction Group with an initial cost of over 16 million Rupees to complete the work by October 2018.[1][2] The estimated ten-year project cost, covering construction, operation and maintenance, was over 19 million Rupees.[3]

The Jaipur Ring Road project, first conceived of in 2000, is for a six-lane expressway encircling the Jaipur city. The contract, worth 110 million Rupees, was awarded in May 2011.[4]

Criticism

Protests have taken place in Nindar against the compensation being offered for a proposed housing scheme. Farmers have been burying themselves neck-deep or going on hunger strike. The housing scheme is supposed to construct up to 10,000 homes.[5][6]

The Dravyavati river is being constructed by capturing the private land of the poor farmers situated by the JDA at goner village. The poor Farmers is entitled to 25% compensation from the JDA in respect of this land.but JDA is constructing a Dravyavati river on the farmers land, without paying any compensation to poor farmers.And when the farmers ask for compensation from the JDA, they are intimidating them by refusing to compensate them by referring to the state government project (CM).the farmers resorted to the court with this attitude of the JDA and the court has taken stay.As long as the farmers will not get any compensation, JDA can not work on their own private land,this is Court order.But JDA has not ruled the court's order and its arbitrariness is being done.Despite the court stay, the JDA is making a Dravyavati river on private land of farmers.There is a lot of injustice happening with the farmers.
