<div>The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is a state-owned telecommunication company, established on 15th September 2000. BSNL functions under the control of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India. BSNL is in the business of providing telecom services across the country. BSNL has its headquarters in New Delhi. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited owns vast tracts of land across the country which is lying unused and is under encroachment. According to the 53rd Report on Land Management in BSNL 2016-17, the total area of unused land held under the BSNL is 938 acres. The value of the unused land held by the BSNL is ₹ 20,223 crore<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India revealed that 210 acres of land held by the BSNL are under encroachment across the country. CAG pointed out that the company did not make any efforts to protect these land parcels from encroachment. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
CAG also revealed that the land inherited by the BSNL in the year 2000 was not transferred in the name of the company till 2012. Because of which the company cannot sell their idle assets. This also gave rise to illegal encroachments. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The company is sitting on a large chunk of vacant land in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru etc. BSNL holds 66 acres of unused land of the value of ₹ 13,400 crore in Mumbai. In Kolkata, 158 acres of land of the value of ₹ 671 crore is locked by BSNL. 117 acres of land of the value of ₹ 1,280 held by the BSNL is lying unutilized in Bengaluru. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
By 2016-17, BSNL made a cumulative loss of ₹ 55,000 crore. This clearly indicates that BSNL is misusing the huge tracts of land allotted to them and even wasting the taxpayer’s money by making huge losses.<br />
<br><br />
<br> <br />
These unused land parcels which are locked by BSNL must be unlocked so that it could be efficiently used for the development of the country. <br />

<hr />
<div>The Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Corporation (UPSIDC) was established on March 29, 1961. <br />
UPSIDC functions under the management of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Industrial Development, Government of Uttar Pradesh.<br />
The main functions of UPSIDC are to facilitate infrastructure facilities and services to entrepreneurs for setting up industries for economic growth of Uttar Pradesh. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The total area of land lying vacant under UPSIDC is 1,508 acres (or 1,142 football fields). <br />
The total value of vacant land held by UPSIDC is ₹ 3,038 crore. <ref>http://www.onlineupsidc.com/IndustrialAreas.aspx</ref> <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) pointed out that during 2012-13 to 2013-14, UPSIDC had a target to develop 1,662 acres of industrial land, but UPSIDC failed to meet its targets and developed only 190 acres of land.<br />
Resulting in a shortfall of 88 per cent. <ref>https://cag.gov.in/sites/default/files/audit_report_files/Overview_1.pdf</ref><br />
<br> <br />
<br><br />
The CAG also revealed that during these years UPSIDC incurred an expenditure ₹ 27 crore for upgrading and maintaining of industrial areas. However, as per the operating manual the upgradation work taken up by UPSIDC was not permitted.<br />
As a result, an expenditure of ₹ 27 crore remained unfruitful. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The Government of Uttar Pradesh acquired vast tracts of land in the name of industrial development and did not develop them, instead kept them vacant. The corporation also inefficiently wasted taxpayer’s money in upgrading industrial areas eventually lying vacant. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Such land parcels are left unused and are restricting urban expansion and development in major cities. <br />

Only the mineral resources of India have been estimated to be worth more than ₹5000 lakh crores of wealth according to analysts. This sum is equivalent to over ₹40 lakh per person in India.<ref>Kundu, S. (2014). A Note on the Estimated Value of Government-Owned Natural Resources in India. New Delhi: Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability. Retrieved November 10, 2017, from http://www.cbgaindia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Estimated-Value-of-Government-Owned-Natural-Resources-in-India.pdf</ref> Apart from that, there are thousands of acres of land parcels controlled by the government. By our estimates, the known public wealth of India is over ₹1590 lakh crore, which equals to over ₹50 lakh per Indian family<ref>Assuming that an average Indian family has 5 members. That is 20 percentage points above the average household size in India as per the 2011 Census. </ref>.<br />
This figure is from a very conservative estimate of the wealth of the people. We have taken only 25% of the mineral wealth of the country to arrive at this figure. In addition, the undiscovered public wealth of India is yet to be categorised and valued. Except for [[Defense]] and [[Railways]], most other ministries and departments of the Union Government do not even know how much of land and resources they own <ref>Debroy, Bibek. "All the Sarkar's Land." The Indian Express. November 13, 2015. Accessed March 22, 2018. http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/all-the-sarkars-land/. </ref>. <br />
While some of the public resources are being used to support essential government services, most of them are lying idle across the nation due to gross misuse and poor management. <br />
<br />
All governments in India, be it central, state, or local, have contributed to the degradation of resources belonging to the people. When millions of our compatriots live in abject poverty, such a situation is unacceptable.<br />
It is important to note that even though public wealth includes common resources such as roads, government offices, airports, etc. we have not included those resources in the Public Wealth Wiki.<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
Historically, the ownership of public wealth belonged to the kings in India and most other parts of the world by the invocation of the divine rights or through means of coercion. Presently, the rights over the public wealth belong to the democratically elected Indian government, which is obligated under the constitution to use this wealth for public good.<ref>Article 39 (b) states – “The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing ... (b) that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good.”</ref> <br />
==Ancient India==<br />
In ancient India, even though the Kings represented the State, the mineral wealth did not vest in them. They were only entitled to receive the taxes or revenue form the production or extraction of minerals.<ref>Indian Bureau of Mines. (2011). Mineral Royalties. Nagpur: Indian Bureau of Mines.</ref> Simultaneously, the ownership of other public resources such as forests and water bodies were shared by the community which relied on them. However, the ownership of mineral resources gradually transferred to the state beginning with the empire of Chandragupta Maurya, particularly as Kautilya<ref>Ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist, and royal advisor, 371-283 BC.</ref> justified state monopoly over mineral resources in his seminal work Arthasastra.<ref>Supra, Note 5.</ref> The ownership of resources other than minerals, such as forests and water bodies, continued to be with the kings or the community in one form or the other across India till the arrival of the British East India Company.<br />
==British India==<br />
The British East India Company started using the power of the state to acquire private property<ref>The power of “Eminent Domain” – Forceful acquisition or requisition of property by the government for public purpose.</ref> for public use as early as 1824 in Bengal and other parts of India. The Bengal Regulation I of 1824 allowed the Company to obtain private properties by paying a fair price for construction of “roads, canals, or other public purposes”<ref>Bhattacharyya, D. (2015). History of Eminent Domain in Colonial Thought and Legal Practice. Economic & Political Weekly, L (50), 46.</ref> when the Company only had limited rights related to taxation and trade as per the powers bestowed on it by the British Crown. Thus, all acquisitions conducted under the Bengal regulation and similar laws in other parts of India were patently illegal until 1857 when the British Crown took over control of India. Following that, the British acquired most of the natural and mineral resources of India; either by acquisition with meagre compensation or by coercion.<br />
Concurrently with the British rule, different princely states in India adopted similar policies with respect to the ownership of public wealth. While some states adopted the state’s ownership of public wealth, others bestowed the ownership to the community. Some states neglected the issue altogether and adopted a non-property attitude towards public wealth and kept it as commons<ref>Cultural or natural resource accessible to all members of the society. </ref>, particularly in case of forests and water bodies.<br />
==Modern India==<br />
The Constitution of India bestows the ownership and control over using resources is in hands of the central and state governments under various articles. However, individuals and corporations can make use of the public resources under a license from the government. <br />
Since independence, there has been no concrete effort by the central or the state governments to define public wealth or regulate the same in a meaningful manner, instead the governments have chosen to deal with the issue on an ad-hoc basis. Noting the same, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, while announcing the judgment on 2G scam in 2012, observed – “no comprehensive legislation has been enacted to generally define natural resources and a framework for their protection.”<ref>Centre for Public Interest Litigation and others v. Union of India and others, (2012) 3 SCC 1</ref> <br />
Given the constitutional provisions, the Indian state is the trustee and legal owner of the public wealth of India under the doctrine of public trust, which "enjoins upon the Government to protect the resources for the enjoyment of the public rather than to permit their use for private ownership or commercial purposes".<ref>M. C. Mehta v. Kamal Nath (1997)1 SCC 388</ref> Natural resources belong to the people, but the State legally owns them on our behalf.<br />
<br />
=Public Wealth of India=<br />
<br />
Public wealth is the sum of the public assets collectively owned by all citizens of the country. The government is the manager of this public wealth.<br />
It comprises of public commercial assets under the government, such as various natural resources, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and commercial real estate. The term ''public'' consists of wealth owned by all the levels of government namely, central, state, and local levels. <br />
''Public assets'' do not comprise ''public property'', which refers to assets and resources that are available to the entire public for use, such as roads and bridges, public parks, protected wildlife sanctuaries.<br />
Public wealth consists of assets or operations generating an income that could be given some kind of market value if properly structured and used. Typical examples include: <br />
* minerals <br />
* real estate such as Lutyens Bungalow Zone (New Delhi), Navy Nagar (Mumbai)<br />
* central and state public sector enterprises<br />

The total public wealth recorded from publicly available information is ₹ 1,341 lakh crore (₹ 53,64,000 per household <ref> No. of households – 25 crore (125 crore population [Census 2011] / 5 [size of a household as per GoI]) </ref>) as on October 2018. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
<br />
Land among capital, labour and entrepreneurial skills is one of the four fundamental resources that determines the size and productivity of an economy. <br />
Land in India is suffering from an artificial scarcity created out of a high cost of acquisition from excessive regulations. Major urban land parcels are lying vacant and unused locking valuable land available in the market. <br />
The following calculation points out there is ample land available in the country – <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
If one places 1.2 billion people in four-person homes of 1000 square feet each, and two workers of the family into office/factory space of 400 square feet, this requires roughly 1 per cent of India's land area assuming an FSI of 1. <ref> Shah A, [//economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/19949364.cms?from=mdr&utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst Economic Times] ‘’ Why real estate is a bad long term investment’’ </ref><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Yet the price of land in a city like Mumbai or Delhi is much more compared to cities like New Jersey.<br />
The government owned land is part of the problem. An estimate holds that governments own as much as __ per cent of total available land in the country [IDF report pick the number/ idea]. This keeps away productive land from falling into private hands for generating revenue and employment. Government bodies like Bombay Port trust own as much as ___ acre of prime property in Mumbai. Bombay port Trust has no land records for ____ amount of property owned by them. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Table 2 and Table 3 point out the surplus land available with various governmnet bodies owned by central and state governments. <br />

==Minerals==<br />
<br />
The total value of the mineral resources of the country is estimated to be ₹5000 lakh crore. However, this number is highly conservative. The central or state governments do not have a dedicated database which lists all the resources under their control with the appropriate market values. The number also excludes the unexplored resources and spectrum under control of our governments. The number was calculated by using data available in the public domain by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a public-policy think tank based in New Delhi. <ref>Supra Note 4. </ref> The calculation only includes – <br />
* Stocks of hydrocarbons in the country such as coal, lignite, crude oil, natural gas, etc. <br />
* Major mined and mineral resources stock in the country. <ref>Ibid. page 2.</ref><br />
According to an estimate by Schlumberger in 2015, India holds a minimum of 300 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of gas and oil resources. An estimate of US Geological Survey reveals that India might be the world's second-largest holder of gas hydrate reserves. The total amount of reserves that India has can be between 300 and 2,100 (Tfc) as per the estimate by Schlumberger in 2015.<br />
<br><br />
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the total 4.67 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas was produced by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Company (OIC) and Private Joint Ventures in the year 2017-18. These companies have been producing natural gas from fields/blocks located in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. The total balance recoverable reserve of natural gas is about 198 BCM in North-Eastern states. <ref>"Gas Reserves in Assam and Other North-Eastern States."

=Methodology=<br />
==Land values and Floor Space Index==<br />
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio between the area of a covered floor space (built-up area) to the area of that plot on which a building stands. An index of 1 implies that the total covered floor space is 1000 Sq. Ft. on a plot of 1000 Sq. Ft. The Floor Space Index in New Delhi ranges from 1.2 to 3.5 meaning that 1200 to 3500 Sq. Ft. of floor space is available for every 1000 Sq. Ft. plot there. <br />
All the value of unused public land is calculated based on the FSI value of 1. The rates for the land have been calculated according to the prevailing rates of rural, semi-urban, and urban land in the country.<br />
<br />
==Minerals==<br />
The estimated values of the mineral resources are based on a detailed study done by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a think-tank based in New Delhi, in 2014. The author of the report has mentioned that he calculated the value of minerals based on the information from the public domain from various governmental and non-governmental agencies. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
The data on the unused public lands was collected by researchers at Free A Billion from authoritative governmental and non-governmental sources. These sources include Parliamentary Questions, data collected by various NGOs and think-tanks, government databases, information available from various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.<br />

Only the mineral resources of India have been estimated to be worth more than ₹5000 lakh crores of wealth according to analysts. This sum is equivalent to over ₹40 lakh per person in India.<ref>Kundu, S. (2014). A Note on the Estimated Value of Government-Owned Natural Resources in India. New Delhi: Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability. Retrieved November 10, 2017, from http://www.cbgaindia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Estimated-Value-of-Government-Owned-Natural-Resources-in-India.pdf</ref> Apart from that, there are thousands of acres of land parcels controlled by the government. By our estimates, the known public wealth of India is over ₹1590 lakh crore, which equals to over ₹50 lakh per Indian family<ref>Assuming that an average Indian family has 5 members. That is 20 percentage points above the average household size in India as per the 2011 Census. </ref>.<br />
This figure is from a very conservative estimate of the wealth of the people. We have taken only 25% of the mineral wealth of the country to arrive at this figure. In addition, the undiscovered public wealth of India is yet to be categorised and valued. Except for [[Defense]] and [[Railways]], most other ministries and departments of the Union Government do not even know how much of land and resources they own <ref>Debroy, Bibek. "All the Sarkar's Land." The Indian Express. November 13, 2015. Accessed March 22, 2018. http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/all-the-sarkars-land/. </ref>. <br />
While some of the public resources are being used to support essential government services, most of them are lying idle across the nation due to gross misuse and poor management. <br />
<br />
All governments in India, be it central, state, or local, have contributed to the degradation of resources belonging to the people. When millions of our compatriots live in abject poverty, such a situation is unacceptable.<br />
It is important to note that even though public wealth includes common resources such as roads, government offices, airports, etc. we have not included those resources in the Public Wealth Wiki.<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
Historically, the ownership of public wealth belonged to the kings in India and most other parts of the world by the invocation of the divine rights or through means of coercion. Presently, the rights over the public wealth belong to the democratically elected Indian government, which is obligated under the constitution to use this wealth for public good.<ref>Article 39 (b) states – “The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing ... (b) that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good.”</ref> <br />
==Ancient India==<br />
In ancient India, even though the Kings represented the State, the mineral wealth did not vest in them. They were only entitled to receive the taxes or revenue form the production or extraction of minerals.<ref>Indian Bureau of Mines. (2011). Mineral Royalties. Nagpur: Indian Bureau of Mines.</ref> Simultaneously, the ownership of other public resources such as forests and water bodies were shared by the community which relied on them. However, the ownership of mineral resources gradually transferred to the state beginning with the empire of Chandragupta Maurya, particularly as Kautilya<ref>Ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist, and royal advisor, 371-283 BC.</ref> justified state monopoly over mineral resources in his seminal work Arthasastra.<ref>Supra, Note 5.</ref> The ownership of resources other than minerals, such as forests and water bodies, continued to be with the kings or the community in one form or the other across India till the arrival of the British East India Company.<br />
==British India==<br />
The British East India Company started using the power of the state to acquire private property<ref>The power of “Eminent Domain” – Forceful acquisition or requisition of property by the government for public purpose.</ref> for public use as early as 1824 in Bengal and other parts of India. The Bengal Regulation I of 1824 allowed the Company to obtain private properties by paying a fair price for construction of “roads, canals, or other public purposes”<ref>Bhattacharyya, D. (2015). History of Eminent Domain in Colonial Thought and Legal Practice. Economic & Political Weekly, L (50), 46.</ref> when the Company only had limited rights related to taxation and trade as per the powers bestowed on it by the British Crown. Thus, all acquisitions conducted under the Bengal regulation and similar laws in other parts of India were patently illegal until 1857 when the British Crown took over control of India. Following that, the British acquired most of the natural and mineral resources of India; either by acquisition with meagre compensation or by coercion.<br />
Concurrently with the British rule, different princely states in India adopted similar policies with respect to the ownership of public wealth. While some states adopted the state’s ownership of public wealth, others bestowed the ownership to the community. Some states neglected the issue altogether and adopted a non-property attitude towards public wealth and kept it as commons<ref>Cultural or natural resource accessible to all members of the society. </ref>, particularly in case of forests and water bodies.<br />
==Modern India==<br />
The Constitution of India bestows the ownership and control over using resources is in hands of the central and state governments under various articles. However, individuals and corporations can make use of the public resources under a license from the government. <br />
Since independence, there has been no concrete effort by the central or the state governments to define public wealth or regulate the same in a meaningful manner, instead the governments have chosen to deal with the issue on an ad-hoc basis. Noting the same, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, while announcing the judgment on 2G scam in 2012, observed – “no comprehensive legislation has been enacted to generally define natural resources and a framework for their protection.”<ref>Centre for Public Interest Litigation and others v. Union of India and others, (2012) 3 SCC 1</ref> <br />
Given the constitutional provisions, the Indian state is the trustee and legal owner of the public wealth of India under the doctrine of public trust, which "enjoins upon the Government to protect the resources for the enjoyment of the public rather than to permit their use for private ownership or commercial purposes".<ref>M. C. Mehta v. Kamal Nath (1997)1 SCC 388</ref> Natural resources belong to the people, but the State legally owns them on our behalf.<br />
<br />
=Public Wealth of India=<br />
<br />
Public wealth is the sum of the public assets collectively owned by all citizens of the country. The government is the manager of this public wealth.<br />
It comprises of public commercial assets under the government, such as various natural resources, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and commercial real estate. The term ''public'' consists of wealth owned by all the levels of government namely, central, state, and local levels. <br />
''Public assets'' do not comprise ''public property'', which refers to assets and resources that are available to the entire public for use, such as roads and bridges, public parks, protected wildlife sanctuaries.<br />
Public wealth consists of assets or operations generating an income that could be given some kind of market value if properly structured and used. Typical examples include: <br />
* minerals <br />
* real estate such as Lutyens Bungalow Zone (New Delhi), Navy Nagar (Mumbai)<br />
* central and state public sector enterprises<br />
* financial institutions<br />
* land banks available with various state land development authorities and in special economic zones (SEZs)<br />
* land and buildings under the government for provision of non-essential functions <ref> Non-essential functions are those that are not directly connected with the maintenance of law and order, and national security. </ref>.<br />
<br />
The total public wealth recorded from publicly available information is ₹ 1,341 lakh crore (₹ 53,64,000 per household <ref> No. of households – 25 crore (125 crore population [Census 2011] / 5 [size of a household as per GoI]) </ref>) as on October 2018. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
<br />
Land among capital, labour and entrepreneurial skills is one of the four fundamental resources that determines the size and productivity of an economy. <br />
Land in India is suffering from an artificial scarcity created out of a high cost of acquisition from excessive regulations. Major urban land parcels are lying vacant and unused locking valuable land available in the market. <br />
The following calculation points out there is ample land available in the country – <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
If one places 1.2 billion people in four-person homes of 1000 square feet each, and two workers of the family into office/factory space of 400 square feet, this requires roughly 1 per cent of India's land area assuming an FSI of 1. <ref> Shah A, [//economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/19949364.cms?from=mdr&utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst Economic Times] ‘’ Why real estate is a bad long term investment’’ </ref><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Yet the price of land in a city like Mumbai or Delhi is much more compared to cities like New Jersey.<br />
The government owned land is part of the problem. An estimate holds that governments own as much as __ per cent of total available land in the country [IDF report pick the number/ idea]. This keeps away productive land from falling into private hands for generating revenue and employment. Government bodies like Bombay Port trust own as much as ___ acre of prime property in Mumbai. Bombay port Trust has no land records for ____ amount of property owned by them. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Table 2 and Table 3 point out the surplus land available with various governmnet bodies owned by central and state governments. <br />

==Minerals==<br />
<br />
The total value of the mineral resources of the country is estimated to be ₹5000 lakh crore. However, this number is highly conservative. The central or state governments do not have a dedicated database which lists all the resources under their control with the appropriate market values. The number also excludes the unexplored resources and spectrum under control of our governments. The number was calculated by using data available in the public domain by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a public-policy think tank based in New Delhi. <ref>Supra Note 4. </ref> The calculation only includes – <br />
* Stocks of hydrocarbons in the country such as coal, lignite, crude oil, natural gas, etc. <br />
* Major mined and mineral resources stock in the country. <ref>Ibid. page 2.</ref><br />
According to an estimate by Schlumberger in 2015, India holds a minimum of 300 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of gas and oil resources. An estimate of US Geological Survey reveals that India might be the world's second-largest holder of gas hydrate reserves. The total amount of reserves that India has can be between 300 and 2,100 (Tfc) as per the estimate by Schlumberger in 2015.<br />
<br><br />
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the total 4.67 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas was produced by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Company (OIC) and Private Joint Ventures in the year 2017-18. These companies have been producing natural gas from fields/blocks located in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. The total balance recoverable reserve of natural gas is about 198 BCM in North-Eastern states. <ref>"Gas Reserves in Assam and Other North-Eastern States."

=Methodology=<br />
==Land values and Floor Space Index==<br />
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio between the area of a covered floor space (built-up area) to the area of that plot on which a building stands. An index of 1 implies that the total covered floor space is 1000 Sq. Ft. on a plot of 1000 Sq. Ft. The Floor Space Index in New Delhi ranges from 1.2 to 3.5 meaning that 1200 to 3500 Sq. Ft. of floor space is available for every 1000 Sq. Ft. plot there. <br />
All the value of unused public land is calculated based on the FSI value of 1. The rates for the land have been calculated according to the prevailing rates of rural, semi-urban, and urban land in the country.<br />
<br />
==Minerals==<br />
The estimated values of the mineral resources are based on a detailed study done by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a think-tank based in New Delhi, in 2014. The author of the report has mentioned that he calculated the value of minerals based on the information from the public domain from various governmental and non-governmental agencies. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
The data on the unused public lands was collected by researchers at Free A Billion from authoritative governmental and non-governmental sources. These sources include Parliamentary Questions, data collected by various NGOs and think-tanks, government databases, information available from various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.<br />

Ministry of Defence is the largest landowner in the country. It holds 43.4 lakh acres (17,570 sq. km) of area. This area is about twelve times the area of New Delhi (1,484 sq. km) and four times the area of Mumbai (4,355 sq. km). <br />
Most policy discussions treat Defence property as “off limits” when it comes to identifying surplus landholdings. <br />
Defence holds the largest blocs of urban land in the country.<br />
<br><br />
Countries such as Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, United States, and the Philippines all have found that more than 90% of total public land identified as “surplus” and monetized has come from outdated military bases. <ref> Peterson, George E. 2009. Unlocking Land Values to Finance Urban Infrastructure. World Bank and PPIAF </ref><br />
<br><br />
The value of the surplus and misused land parcels under the Armed forces when freed up is ₹ 21.53 lakh crore (₹ 86,000 per household). This estimate is computed using conservative land prices and a meagre FSI of 1. <br />

In addition to this land, 62 cantonment boards (see map 1, and 2 and accompanying tables 1, and 2) use more than 2,18,068 acres ( sq. km). Most of the cantonment boards are located in the heart of the city occupying prime real estate.<br />

These gold courses are pointed out illegal by the CAG [https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/armys-100-golf-courses-under-centre-scanner/] citing “they should not have been built in the first place, as golf is not an authorised military activity”. <br />
<br><br />

Only the mineral resources of India have been estimated to be worth more than ₹5000 lakh crores of wealth according to analysts. This sum is equivalent to over ₹40 lakh per person in India.<ref>Kundu, S. (2014). A Note on the Estimated Value of Government-Owned Natural Resources in India. New Delhi: Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability. Retrieved November 10, 2017, from http://www.cbgaindia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Estimated-Value-of-Government-Owned-Natural-Resources-in-India.pdf</ref> Apart from that, there are thousands of acres of land parcels controlled by the government. By our estimates, the known public wealth of India is over ₹1590 lakh crore, which equals to over ₹50 lakh per Indian family<ref>Assuming that an average Indian family has 5 members. That is 20 percentage points above the average household size in India as per the 2011 Census. </ref>.<br />
This figure is from a very conservative estimate of the wealth of the people. We have taken only 25% of the mineral wealth of the country to arrive at this figure. In addition, the undiscovered public wealth of India is yet to be categorised and valued. Except for [[Defense]] and [[Railways]], most other ministries and departments of the Union Government do not even know how much of land and resources they own <ref>Debroy, Bibek. "All the Sarkar's Land." The Indian Express. November 13, 2015. Accessed March 22, 2018. http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/all-the-sarkars-land/. </ref>. <br />
While some of the public resources are being used to support essential government services, most of them are lying idle across the nation due to gross misuse and poor management. <br />
<br />
All governments in India, be it central, state, or local, have contributed to the degradation of resources belonging to the people. When millions of our compatriots live in abject poverty, such a situation is unacceptable.<br />
It is important to note that even though public wealth includes common resources such as roads, government offices, airports, etc. we have not included those resources in the Public Wealth Wiki.<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
Historically, the ownership of public wealth belonged to the kings in India and most other parts of the world by the invocation of the divine rights or through means of coercion. Presently, the rights over the public wealth belong to the democratically elected Indian government, which is obligated under the constitution to use this wealth for public good.<ref>Article 39 (b) states – “The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing ... (b) that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good.”</ref> <br />
==Ancient India==<br />
In ancient India, even though the Kings represented the State, the mineral wealth did not vest in them. They were only entitled to receive the taxes or revenue form the production or extraction of minerals.<ref>Indian Bureau of Mines. (2011). Mineral Royalties. Nagpur: Indian Bureau of Mines.</ref> Simultaneously, the ownership of other public resources such as forests and water bodies were shared by the community which relied on them. However, the ownership of mineral resources gradually transferred to the state beginning with the empire of Chandragupta Maurya, particularly as Kautilya<ref>Ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist, and royal advisor, 371-283 BC.</ref> justified state monopoly over mineral resources in his seminal work Arthasastra.<ref>Supra, Note 5.</ref> The ownership of resources other than minerals, such as forests and water bodies, continued to be with the kings or the community in one form or the other across India till the arrival of the British East India Company.<br />
==British India==<br />
The British East India Company started using the power of the state to acquire private property<ref>The power of “Eminent Domain” – Forceful acquisition or requisition of property by the government for public purpose.</ref> for public use as early as 1824 in Bengal and other parts of India. The Bengal Regulation I of 1824 allowed the Company to obtain private properties by paying a fair price for construction of “roads, canals, or other public purposes”<ref>Bhattacharyya, D. (2015). History of Eminent Domain in Colonial Thought and Legal Practice. Economic & Political Weekly, L (50), 46.</ref> when the Company only had limited rights related to taxation and trade as per the powers bestowed on it by the British Crown. Thus, all acquisitions conducted under the Bengal regulation and similar laws in other parts of India were patently illegal until 1857 when the British Crown took over control of India. Following that, the British acquired most of the natural and mineral resources of India; either by acquisition with meagre compensation or by coercion.<br />
Concurrently with the British rule, different princely states in India adopted similar policies with respect to the ownership of public wealth. While some states adopted the state’s ownership of public wealth, others bestowed the ownership to the community. Some states neglected the issue altogether and adopted a non-property attitude towards public wealth and kept it as commons<ref>Cultural or natural resource accessible to all members of the society. </ref>, particularly in case of forests and water bodies.<br />
==Modern India==<br />
The Constitution of India bestows the ownership and control over using resources is in hands of the central and state governments under various articles. However, individuals and corporations can make use of the public resources under a license from the government. <br />
Since independence, there has been no concrete effort by the central or the state governments to define public wealth or regulate the same in a meaningful manner, instead the governments have chosen to deal with the issue on an ad-hoc basis. Noting the same, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, while announcing the judgment on 2G scam in 2012, observed – “no comprehensive legislation has been enacted to generally define natural resources and a framework for their protection.”<ref>Centre for Public Interest Litigation and others v. Union of India and others, (2012) 3 SCC 1</ref> <br />
Given the constitutional provisions, the Indian state is the trustee and legal owner of the public wealth of India under the doctrine of public trust, which "enjoins upon the Government to protect the resources for the enjoyment of the public rather than to permit their use for private ownership or commercial purposes".<ref>M. C. Mehta v. Kamal Nath (1997)1 SCC 388</ref> Natural resources belong to the people, but the State legally owns them on our behalf.<br />
<br />
=Public Wealth of India=<br />
<br />
Public wealth is the sum of the public assets collectively owned by all citizens of the country. The government is the manager of this public wealth.<br />
It comprises of public commercial assets under the government, such as various natural resources, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and commercial real estate. The term ''public'' consists of wealth owned by all the levels of government namely, central, state, and local levels. <br />
''Public assets'' do not comprise ''public property'', which refers to assets and resources that are available to the entire public for use, such as roads and bridges, public parks, protected wildlife sanctuaries.<br />
Public wealth consists of assets or operations generating an income that could be given some kind of market value if properly structured and used. Typical examples include: <br />
* minerals <br />
* real estate such as Lutyens Bungalow Zone (New Delhi), Navy Nagar (Mumbai)<br />
* central and state public sector enterprises<br />
* financial institutions<br />
* land banks available with various state land development authorities and in special economic zones (SEZs)<br />
* land and buildings under the government for provision of non-essential functions <ref> Non-essential functions are those that are not directly connected with the maintenance of law and order, and national security. </ref>.<br />
<br />
The total public wealth recorded from publicly available information is ₹ 1,341 lakh crore (₹ 53,64,000 per household <ref> No. of households – 25 crore (125 crore population [Census 2011] / 5 [size of a household as per GoI]) </ref>) as on October 2018. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
<br />
Land among capital, labour and entrepreneurial skills is one of the four fundamental resources that determines the size and productivity of an economy. <br />
Land in India is suffering from an artificial scarcity created out of a high cost of acquisition from excessive regulations. Major urban land parcels are lying vacant and unused locking valuable land available in the market. <br />
The following calculation points out there is ample land available in the country – <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
If one places 1.2 billion people in four-person homes of 1000 square feet each, and two workers of the family into office/factory space of 400 square feet, this requires roughly 1 per cent of India's land area assuming an FSI of 1. <ref> Shah A, [//economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/19949364.cms?from=mdr&utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst Economic Times] ‘’ Why real estate is a bad long term investment’’ </ref><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Yet the price of land in a city like Mumbai or Delhi is much more compared to cities like New Jersey.<br />
The government owned land is part of the problem. An estimate holds that governments own as much as __ per cent of total available land in the country [IDF report pick the number/ idea]. This keeps away productive land from falling into private hands for generating revenue and employment. Government bodies like Bombay Port trust own as much as ___ acre of prime property in Mumbai. Bombay port Trust has no land records for ____ amount of property owned by them. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Table 2 and Table 3 point out the surplus land available with various governmnet bodies owned by central and state governments. <br />

<br />
Main Article: [[Minerals]]<br />
<br />
The total value of the mineral resources of the country is estimated to be ₹5000 lakh crore. However, this number is highly conservative. The central or state governments do not have a dedicated database which lists all the resources under their control with the appropriate market values. The number also excludes the unexplored resources and spectrum under control of our governments. The number was calculated by using data available in the public domain by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a public-policy think tank based in New Delhi. <ref>Supra Note 4. </ref> The calculation only includes – <br />
i. Stocks of hydrocarbons in the country such as coal, lignite, crude oil, natural gas, etc. and ii. Major mined and mineral resources stock in the country. <ref>Ibid. page 2.</ref><br />
According to an estimate by Schlumberger in 2015, India holds a minimum of 300 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of gas and oil resources. An estimate of US Geological Survey reveals that India might be the world's second-largest holder of gas hydrate reserves. The total amount of reserves that India has can be between 300 and 2,100 (Tfc) as per the estimate by Schlumberger in 2015.<br />
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the total 4.67 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas was produced by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Company (OIC) and Private Joint Ventures in the year 2017-18. These companies have been producing natural gas from fields/blocks located in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. The total balance recoverable reserve of natural gas is about 198 BCM in North-Eastern states. <ref>"Gas Reserves in Assam and Other North-Eastern States." Press Information Bureau Government of India Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. August 1, 2018. http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=181318..</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Economic Zones==<br />
Main Article: [[Special Economic Zones]]<br />
<br />
According to Report number 21 of 2014 of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) on Performance of Special Economic Zones (SEZs),<ref>Performance Audit of Special Economic Zones SEZs of Union Government, Department of Revenue - Indirect Taxes, Customs.Report no. 21. Accessed April 5, 2018. http://www.cag.gov.in/content/report-no-21-2014-performance-audit-special-economic-zones-sezs-union-government-department. </ref> below are some instances of how the land allotted for SEZs was misused and diverted. This is especially important in the light of the discussion happening around the Land Acquisition Ordinance of the NDA government.<br />
Diversion of SEZ land for commercial purposes: 14% of land i.e., out of 39245.56 hectares of land notified in the six States10, 5402.22 hectares was diverted for commercial purposes after de-notification. Many tracts of these lands were acquired invoking the ‘public purpose’ clause. Thus, land acquired was not serving the objectives of the SEZ act. This is one of the fears with the new Land Acquisition Ordinance. How does the Government ensure that the land acquired is not misused by private parties? <br />
According to the CAG, out of the 392 notified zones, only 152 have become operational. In various states, the Developers had not commenced investments and the land had been lying idle in their custody for 2 to 7 years.<br />
<br />
=Methodology=<br />
==Land values and Floor Space Index==<br />
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio between the area of a covered floor space (built-up area) to the area of that plot on which a building stands. An index of 1 implies that the total covered floor space is 1000 Sq. Ft. on a plot of 1000 Sq. Ft. The Floor Space Index in New Delhi ranges from 1.2 to 3.5 meaning that 1200 to 3500 Sq. Ft. of floor space is available for every 1000 Sq. Ft. plot there. <br />
All the value of unused public land is calculated based on the FSI value of 1. The rates for the land have been calculated according to the prevailing rates of rural, semi-urban, and urban land in the country.<br />
<br />
==Minerals==<br />
The estimated values of the mineral resources are based on a detailed study done by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a think-tank based in New Delhi, in 2014. The author of the report has mentioned that he calculated the value of minerals based on the information from the public domain from various governmental and non-governmental agencies. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
The data on the unused public lands was collected by researchers at Free A Billion from authoritative governmental and non-governmental sources. These sources include Parliamentary Questions, data collected by various NGOs and think-tanks, government databases, information available from various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.<br />

Only the mineral resources of India have been estimated to be worth more than ₹5000 lakh crores of wealth according to analysts. This sum is equivalent to over ₹40 lakh per person in India.<ref>Kundu, S. (2014). A Note on the Estimated Value of Government-Owned Natural Resources in India. New Delhi: Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability. Retrieved November 10, 2017, from http://www.cbgaindia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Estimated-Value-of-Government-Owned-Natural-Resources-in-India.pdf</ref> Apart from that, there are thousands of acres of land parcels controlled by the government. By our estimates, the known public wealth of India is over ₹1590 lakh crore, which equals to over ₹50 lakh per Indian family<ref>Assuming that an average Indian family has 5 members. That is 20 percentage points above the average household size in India as per the 2011 Census. </ref>.<br />
This figure is from a very conservative estimate of the wealth of the people. We have taken only 25% of the mineral wealth of the country to arrive at this figure. In addition, the undiscovered public wealth of India is yet to be categorised and valued. Except for [[Defense]] and [[Railways]], most other ministries and departments of the Union Government do not even know how much of land and resources they own <ref>Debroy, Bibek. "All the Sarkar's Land." The Indian Express. November 13, 2015. Accessed March 22, 2018. http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/all-the-sarkars-land/. </ref>. <br />
While some of the public resources are being used to support essential government services, most of them are lying idle across the nation due to gross misuse and poor management. <br />
<br />
All governments in India, be it central, state, or local, have contributed to the degradation of resources belonging to the people. When millions of our compatriots live in abject poverty, such a situation is unacceptable.<br />
It is important to note that even though public wealth includes common resources such as roads, government offices, airports, etc. we have not included those resources in the Public Wealth Wiki.<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
Historically, the ownership of public wealth belonged to the kings in India and most other parts of the world by the invocation of the divine rights or through means of coercion. Presently, the rights over the public wealth belong to the democratically elected Indian government, which is obligated under the constitution to use this wealth for public good.<ref>Article 39 (b) states – “The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing ... (b) that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good.”</ref> <br />
==Ancient India==<br />
In ancient India, even though the Kings represented the State, the mineral wealth did not vest in them. They were only entitled to receive the taxes or revenue form the production or extraction of minerals.<ref>Indian Bureau of Mines. (2011). Mineral Royalties. Nagpur: Indian Bureau of Mines.</ref> Simultaneously, the ownership of other public resources such as forests and water bodies were shared by the community which relied on them. However, the ownership of mineral resources gradually transferred to the state beginning with the empire of Chandragupta Maurya, particularly as Kautilya<ref>Ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist, and royal advisor, 371-283 BC.</ref> justified state monopoly over mineral resources in his seminal work Arthasastra.<ref>Supra, Note 5.</ref> The ownership of resources other than minerals, such as forests and water bodies, continued to be with the kings or the community in one form or the other across India till the arrival of the British East India Company.<br />
==British India==<br />
The British East India Company started using the power of the state to acquire private property<ref>The power of “Eminent Domain” – Forceful acquisition or requisition of property by the government for public purpose.</ref> for public use as early as 1824 in Bengal and other parts of India. The Bengal Regulation I of 1824 allowed the Company to obtain private properties by paying a fair price for construction of “roads, canals, or other public purposes”<ref>Bhattacharyya, D. (2015). History of Eminent Domain in Colonial Thought and Legal Practice. Economic & Political Weekly, L (50), 46.</ref> when the Company only had limited rights related to taxation and trade as per the powers bestowed on it by the British Crown. Thus, all acquisitions conducted under the Bengal regulation and similar laws in other parts of India were patently illegal until 1857 when the British Crown took over control of India. Following that, the British acquired most of the natural and mineral resources of India; either by acquisition with meagre compensation or by coercion.<br />
Concurrently with the British rule, different princely states in India adopted similar policies with respect to the ownership of public wealth. While some states adopted the state’s ownership of public wealth, others bestowed the ownership to the community. Some states neglected the issue altogether and adopted a non-property attitude towards public wealth and kept it as commons<ref>Cultural or natural resource accessible to all members of the society. </ref>, particularly in case of forests and water bodies.<br />
==Modern India==<br />
The Constitution of India bestows the ownership and control over using resources is in hands of the central and state governments under various articles. However, individuals and corporations can make use of the public resources under a license from the government. <br />
Since independence, there has been no concrete effort by the central or the state governments to define public wealth or regulate the same in a meaningful manner, instead the governments have chosen to deal with the issue on an ad-hoc basis. Noting the same, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, while announcing the judgment on 2G scam in 2012, observed – “no comprehensive legislation has been enacted to generally define natural resources and a framework for their protection.”<ref>Centre for Public Interest Litigation and others v. Union of India and others, (2012) 3 SCC 1</ref> <br />
Given the constitutional provisions, the Indian state is the trustee and legal owner of the public wealth of India under the doctrine of public trust, which "enjoins upon the Government to protect the resources for the enjoyment of the public rather than to permit their use for private ownership or commercial purposes".<ref>M. C. Mehta v. Kamal Nath (1997)1 SCC 388</ref> Natural resources belong to the people, but the State legally owns them on our behalf.<br />

Public wealth is the sum of the public assets collectively owned by all citizens of the country. The government is the manager of this public wealth.<br />
It comprises of public commercial assets under the government, such as various natural resources, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and commercial real estate. The term ''public'' consists of wealth owned by all the levels of government namely, central, state, and local levels. <br />
''Public assets'' do not comprise ''public property'', which refers to assets and resources that are available to the entire public for use, such as roads and bridges, public parks, protected wildlife sanctuaries.<br />
Public wealth consists of assets or operations generating an income that could be given some kind of market value if properly structured and used. Typical examples include: <br />
* minerals <br />
* real estate such as Lutyens Bungalow Zone (New Delhi), Navy Nagar (Mumbai)<br />
* central and state public sector enterprises<br />
* financial institutions<br />
* land banks available with various state land development authorities and in special economic zones (SEZs)<br />
* land and buildings under the government for provision of non-essential functions <ref> Non-essential functions are those that are not directly connected with the maintenance of law and order, and national security. </ref>.<br />
<br />
The total public wealth recorded from publicly available information is ₹ 1,341 lakh crore (₹ 53,64,000 per household <ref> No. of households – 25 crore (125 crore population [Census 2011] / 5 [size of a household as per GoI]) </ref>) as on October 2018. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
<br />
Land among capital, labour and entrepreneurial skills is one of the four fundamental resources that determines the size and productivity of an economy. <br />
Land in India is suffering from an artificial scarcity created out of a high cost of acquisition from excessive regulations. Major urban land parcels are lying vacant and unused locking valuable land available in the market. <br />
The following calculation points out there is ample land available in the country – <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
If one places 1.2 billion people in four-person homes of 1000 square feet each, and two workers of the family into office/factory space of 400 square feet, this requires roughly 1 per cent of India's land area assuming an FSI of 1. <ref> Shah A, [//economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/19949364.cms?from=mdr&utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst Economic Times] ‘’ Why real estate is a bad long term investment’’ </ref><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Yet the price of land in a city like Mumbai or Delhi is much more compared to cities like New Jersey.<br />
The government owned land is part of the problem. An estimate holds that governments own as much as __ per cent of total available land in the country [IDF report pick the number/ idea]. This keeps away productive land from falling into private hands for generating revenue and employment. Government bodies like Bombay Port trust own as much as ___ acre of prime property in Mumbai. Bombay port Trust has no land records for ____ amount of property owned by them. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Table 2 and Table 3 point out the surplus land available with various governmnet bodies owned by central and state governments. <br />

==Minerals==<br />
<br />
Main Article: [[Minerals]]<br />
<br />
The total value of the mineral resources of the country is estimated to be ₹5000 lakh crore. However, this number is highly conservative. The central or state governments do not have a dedicated database which lists all the resources under their control with the appropriate market values. The number also excludes the unexplored resources and spectrum under control of our governments. The number was calculated by using data available in the public domain by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a public-policy think tank based in New Delhi. <ref>Supra Note 4. </ref> The calculation only includes – <br />
i. Stocks of hydrocarbons in the country such as coal, lignite, crude oil, natural gas, etc. and ii. Major mined and mineral resources stock in the country. <ref>Ibid. page 2.</ref><br />
According to an estimate by Schlumberger in 2015, India holds a minimum of 300 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of gas and oil resources. An estimate of US Geological Survey reveals that India might be the world's second-largest holder of gas hydrate reserves. The total amount of reserves that India has can be between 300 and 2,100 (Tfc) as per the estimate by Schlumberger in 2015.<br />
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the total 4.67 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas was produced by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Company (OIC) and Private Joint Ventures in the year 2017-18. These companies have been producing natural gas from fields/blocks located in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. The total balance recoverable reserve of natural gas is about 198 BCM in North-Eastern states. <ref>"Gas Reserves in Assam and Other North-Eastern States." Press Information Bureau Government of India Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. August 1, 2018. http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=181318..</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Economic Zones==<br />
Main Article: [[Special Economic Zones]]<br />
<br />
According to Report number 21 of 2014 of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) on Performance of Special Economic Zones (SEZs),<ref>Performance Audit of Special Economic Zones SEZs of Union Government, Department of Revenue - Indirect Taxes, Customs.Report no. 21. Accessed April 5, 2018. http://www.cag.gov.in/content/report-no-21-2014-performance-audit-special-economic-zones-sezs-union-government-department. </ref> below are some instances of how the land allotted for SEZs was misused and diverted. This is especially important in the light of the discussion happening around the Land Acquisition Ordinance of the NDA government.<br />
Diversion of SEZ land for commercial purposes: 14% of land i.e., out of 39245.56 hectares of land notified in the six States10, 5402.22 hectares was diverted for commercial purposes after de-notification. Many tracts of these lands were acquired invoking the ‘public purpose’ clause. Thus, land acquired was not serving the objectives of the SEZ act. This is one of the fears with the new Land Acquisition Ordinance. How does the Government ensure that the land acquired is not misused by private parties? <br />
According to the CAG, out of the 392 notified zones, only 152 have become operational. In various states, the Developers had not commenced investments and the land had been lying idle in their custody for 2 to 7 years.<br />
<br />
=Methodology=<br />
==Land values and Floor Space Index==<br />
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio between the area of a covered floor space (built-up area) to the area of that plot on which a building stands. An index of 1 implies that the total covered floor space is 1000 Sq. Ft. on a plot of 1000 Sq. Ft. The Floor Space Index in New Delhi ranges from 1.2 to 3.5 meaning that 1200 to 3500 Sq. Ft. of floor space is available for every 1000 Sq. Ft. plot there. <br />
All the value of unused public land is calculated based on the FSI value of 1. The rates for the land have been calculated according to the prevailing rates of rural, semi-urban, and urban land in the country.<br />
<br />
==Minerals==<br />
The estimated values of the mineral resources are based on a detailed study done by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a think-tank based in New Delhi, in 2014. The author of the report has mentioned that he calculated the value of minerals based on the information from the public domain from various governmental and non-governmental agencies. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
The data on the unused public lands was collected by researchers at Free A Billion from authoritative governmental and non-governmental sources. These sources include Parliamentary Questions, data collected by various NGOs and think-tanks, government databases, information available from various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.<br />

<hr />
<div>Haryana Irrigation Department is sitting on large chunks of unused land across the state. The department also holds tracts of land which are stuck in litigation due to illegal encroachment. These parcels of land are located in the major cities of Haryana. This indicates that government cannot even protect their own land parcels from encroachments.<br />
<br><br />
<br> <br />
In Ambala 64 acres of land of the value of ₹ 129 belonging to the Irrigation Department is been kept unused or is under heavy encroachment. 109 acres of land of the value of ₹ 221 crore is lying unused in Karnal. The department has also locked 400 acres of the land of the value of ₹ 809 crore in Rohtak. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The total area of surplus or encroached land held by the department is 2,421 acres. The total value of these unused or encroached land parcels is ₹ 4,899 crore. These are the conservative prices of the unused land parcels belonging to the department. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
All such unused land parcels must be free-up from the control of the Haryana Irrigation Department. Such land parcels are being abused and restricting urban expansion and development in major cities. <br />

<hr />
<div>The Gram Sabha land comes under the Gram Sabha. Gram Sabha is responsible to undertake functions such as sanctioning the projects for the social and economic development of the village<br />
<br />
As per the response of an RTI application filed by a Delhi-based activist Rajhans Bansal, around 1,000 acres of gram sabha land is encroached by the land mafia. The land grabbers are sitting on gram sabha land worth ₹5,000 crore.<br />
<br />
The gram sabha land of villages including Dera Mandi, Aya Nagar village, Mithapur, Jaitpur and Neb Sarai located in the south and south-east zone of New Delhi is heavily encroached by the land sharks. These encroachments are a result of the strong connection between the land grabbers and local leaders.<br />
<br />
Despite the strong instruction from the Supreme Court to all the state governments and union territories to evict the encroachers from the gram sabha land, the encroachment on gram sabha land is widespread in New Delhi. It is very disappointing to see that land which was meant to be used for the development of villages in New Delhi is being illegally encroached by the people. <br />

<hr />
<div>Richardson and Cruddas (1972) Limited is a state-owned enterprise which was established on 15th March 1973. The company functions under the control of the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises. The company is in the business of manufacturing fabricated metal products and metal working service activities.<br />
<br><br />
<br> <br />
The Government of Maharashtra allotted three plots of 54,285 sqm to Richardson and Cruddas for industrial purposes on a 99-year lease at Byculla, Mumbai. The officials of Government of Maharashtra found that the company did not use the plot for the intended purpose. The company started using the plot for commercial purposes such as shooting, entertainment and organizing events even without permission <ref>https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Richardson-Cruddas-told-to-return-Byculla-plot-to-govt/articleshow/55550106.cms</ref>.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Richardson and Cruddas also hold 36 acres of unused land at Mulund West, Mumbai of the value of ₹ 74,000 crore. The company also holds 27 acres of land in Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in Nagpur of the value of ₹ 136 crores is lying unutilized. The total value of these unused land parcels held by the company is ₹ 98,000 crore. These are the conservative value of the unused land held by the company. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Richardson and Cruddas is sitting on large chunks of valuable land in the prime locations of Mumbai. The parcels of land are locked by the company. This creates an artificial scarcity of land in the city. As a result, the price of plots increases, following this the price of housing and infrastructure projects also increases in cities. Freeing up all such unused and locked land parcels have the potential of reducing the artificial scarcity of land in the city. <br />

<br><br />
HAL is in the business of manufacturing, designing, and repairing aircrafts, helicopters, and related systems like avionics, instruments, and accessories. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
In the year 1963, the State Government of Odisha allotted 12,000 acres of land belonging to 11 villages including Kakigaon, Chikapur, Khaliput, Chakriliput and Kodinga to HAL. <ref>https://www.dailypioneer.com/2014/state-editions/hal-displaced-seek-rehab-acquire-land-forcibly.html</ref> However, HAL utilized only 3,121 acres of this land and it further handed over 6,000 acres to Cobra Battalion and the Central University of Odisha. At present 2,918 acres of land under HAL is been kept unused. It is also been observed that HAL failed to properly rehabilitate these villagers whose land they acquired in 1963. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
According to Comptroller Auditor General (CAG), in Koraput about 50 acres of land held by the HAL division is under encroachment by the local villagers for over 25 years. <ref>https://cag.gov.in/sites/default/files/audit_report_files/Union_Compliance_Defence_Air_Force_Report_38_2015.pdf</ref><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
In the year 1985, HAL acquired another 11 acres of land at Belur, Vibuthpura, and Vibuthpura in Bengaluru. This land was originally occupied by slum dwellers. HAL acquired identified and acquired additional land to evict and rehabilitate these slum dwellers but failed to evict them. As a result, 11 acres of valuable urban land acquired by HAL remained under encroachment as on March 2015. <br />

Only the mineral resources of India have been estimated to be worth more than ₹5000 lakh crores of wealth according to analysts. This sum is equivalent to over ₹40 lakh per person in India.<ref>Kundu, S. (2014). A Note on the Estimated Value of Government-Owned Natural Resources in India. New Delhi: Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability. Retrieved November 10, 2017, from http://www.cbgaindia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Estimated-Value-of-Government-Owned-Natural-Resources-in-India.pdf</ref> Apart from that, there are thousands of acres of land parcels controlled by the government. By our estimates, the known public wealth of India is over ₹1590 lakh crore, which equals to over ₹50 lakh per Indian family<ref>Assuming that an average Indian family has 5 members. That is 20 percentage points above the average household size in India as per the 2011 Census. </ref>.<br />
This figure is from a very conservative estimate of the wealth of the people. We have taken only 25% of the mineral wealth of the country to arrive at this figure. In addition, the undiscovered public wealth of India is yet to be categorised and valued. Except for [[Defense]] and [[Railways]], most other ministries and departments of the Union Government do not even know how much of land and resources they own <ref>Debroy, Bibek. "All the Sarkar's Land." The Indian Express. November 13, 2015. Accessed March 22, 2018. http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/all-the-sarkars-land/. </ref>. <br />
While some of the public resources are being used to support essential government services, most of them are lying idle across the nation due to gross misuse and poor management. <br />
<br />
All governments in India, be it central, state, or local, have contributed to the degradation of resources belonging to the people. When millions of our compatriots live in abject poverty, such a situation is unacceptable.<br />
It is important to note that even though public wealth includes common resources such as roads, government offices, airports, etc. we have not included those resources in the Public Wealth Wiki.<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
Historically, the ownership of public wealth belonged to the kings in India and most other parts of the world by the invocation of the divine rights or through means of coercion. Presently, the rights over the public wealth belong to the democratically elected Indian government, which is obligated under the constitution to use this wealth for public good.<ref>Article 39 (b) states – “The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing ... (b) that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good.”</ref> <br />
==Ancient India==<br />
In ancient India, even though the Kings represented the State, the mineral wealth did not vest in them. They were only entitled to receive the taxes or revenue form the production or extraction of minerals.<ref>Indian Bureau of Mines. (2011). Mineral Royalties. Nagpur: Indian Bureau of Mines.</ref> Simultaneously, the ownership of other public resources such as forests and water bodies were shared by the community which relied on them. However, the ownership of mineral resources gradually transferred to the state beginning with the empire of Chandragupta Maurya, particularly as Kautilya<ref>Ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist, and royal advisor, 371-283 BC.</ref> justified state monopoly over mineral resources in his seminal work Arthasastra.<ref>Supra, Note 5.</ref> The ownership of resources other than minerals, such as forests and water bodies, continued to be with the kings or the community in one form or the other across India till the arrival of the British East India Company.<br />
==British India==<br />
The British East India Company started using the power of the state to acquire private property<ref>The power of “Eminent Domain” – Forceful acquisition or requisition of property by the government for public purpose.</ref> for public use as early as 1824 in Bengal and other parts of India. The Bengal Regulation I of 1824 allowed the Company to obtain private properties by paying a fair price for construction of “roads, canals, or other public purposes”<ref>Bhattacharyya, D. (2015). History of Eminent Domain in Colonial Thought and Legal Practice. Economic & Political Weekly, L (50), 46.</ref> when the Company only had limited rights related to taxation and trade as per the powers bestowed on it by the British Crown. Thus, all acquisitions conducted under the Bengal regulation and similar laws in other parts of India were patently illegal until 1857 when the British Crown took over control of India. Following that, the British acquired most of the natural and mineral resources of India; either by acquisition with meagre compensation or by coercion.<br />
Concurrently with the British rule, different princely states in India adopted similar policies with respect to the ownership of public wealth. While some states adopted the state’s ownership of public wealth, others bestowed the ownership to the community. Some states neglected the issue altogether and adopted a non-property attitude towards public wealth and kept it as commons<ref>Cultural or natural resource accessible to all members of the society. </ref>, particularly in case of forests and water bodies.<br />
==Modern India==<br />
The Constitution of India bestows the ownership and control over using resources is in hands of the central and state governments under various articles. However, individuals and corporations can make use of the public resources under a license from the government. <br />
Since independence, there has been no concrete effort by the central or the state governments to define public wealth or regulate the same in a meaningful manner, instead the governments have chosen to deal with the issue on an ad-hoc basis. Noting the same, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, while announcing the judgment on 2G scam in 2012, observed – “no comprehensive legislation has been enacted to generally define natural resources and a framework for their protection.”<ref>Centre for Public Interest Litigation and others v. Union of India and others, (2012) 3 SCC 1</ref> <br />
Given the constitutional provisions, the Indian state is the trustee and legal owner of the public wealth of India under the doctrine of public trust, which "enjoins upon the Government to protect the resources for the enjoyment of the public rather than to permit their use for private ownership or commercial purposes".<ref>M. C. Mehta v. Kamal Nath (1997)1 SCC 388</ref> Natural resources belong to the people, but the State legally owns them on our behalf.<br />
<br />
=Public Wealth of India=<br />
<br />
Public wealth is the sum of the public assets collectively owned by all citizens of the country. The government is the manager of this public wealth.<br />
It comprises of public commercial assets under the government, such as various natural resources, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and commercial real estate. The term ''public'' consists of wealth owned by all the levels of government namely, central, state, and local levels. <br />
''Public assets'' do not comprise ''public property'', which refers to assets and resources that are available to the entire public for use, such as roads and bridges, public parks, protected wildlife sanctuaries.<br />
Public wealth consists of assets or operations generating an income that could be given some kind of market value if properly structured and used. Typical examples include: <br />
* minerals <br />
* real estate such as Lutyens Bungalow Zone (New Delhi), Navy Nagar (Mumbai)<br />
* central and state public sector enterprises<br />
* financial institutions<br />
* land banks available with various state land development authorities and in special economic zones (SEZs)<br />
* land and buildings under the government for provision of non-essential functions <ref> Non-essential functions are those that are not directly connected with the maintenance of law and order, and national security. </ref>.<br />
<br />
The total public wealth recorded from publicly available information is ₹ 1,341 lakh crore (₹ 53,64,000 per household <ref> No. of households – 25 crore (125 crore population [Census 2011] / 5 [size of a household as per GoI]) </ref>) as on October 2018. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
<br />
Land among capital, labour and entrepreneurial skills is one of the four fundamental resources that determines the size and productivity of an economy. <br />
Land in India is suffering from an artificial scarcity created out of a high cost of acquisition from excessive regulations. Major urban land parcels are lying vacant and unused locking valuable land available in the market. <br />
The following calculation points out there is ample land available in the country – <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
If one places 1.2 billion people in four-person homes of 1000 square feet each, and two workers of the family into office/factory space of 400 square feet, this requires roughly 1 per cent of India's land area assuming an FSI of 1. <ref> Shah A, [//economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/19949364.cms?from=mdr&utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst Economic Times] ‘’ Why real estate is a bad long term investment’’ </ref><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Yet the price of land in a city like Mumbai or Delhi is much more compared to cities like New Jersey.<br />
The government owned land is part of the problem. An estimate holds that governments own as much as __ per cent of total available land in the country [IDF report pick the number/ idea]. This keeps away productive land from falling into private hands for generating revenue and employment. Government bodies like Bombay Port trust own as much as ___ acre of prime property in Mumbai. Bombay port Trust has no land records for ____ amount of property owned by them. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Table 2 and Table 3 point out the surplus land available with various governmnet bodies owned by central and state governments. <br />

<br />
Main Article: [[Minerals]]<br />
<br />
The total value of the mineral resources of the country is estimated to be ₹5000 lakh crore. However, this number is highly conservative. The central or state governments do not have a dedicated database which lists all the resources under their control with the appropriate market values. The number also excludes the unexplored resources and spectrum under control of our governments. The number was calculated by using data available in the public domain by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a public-policy think tank based in New Delhi. <ref>Supra Note 4. </ref> The calculation only includes – <br />
i. Stocks of hydrocarbons in the country such as coal, lignite, crude oil, natural gas, etc. and ii. Major mined and mineral resources stock in the country. <ref>Ibid. page 2.</ref><br />
According to an estimate by Schlumberger in 2015, India holds a minimum of 300 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of gas and oil resources. An estimate of US Geological Survey reveals that India might be the world's second-largest holder of gas hydrate reserves. The total amount of reserves that India has can be between 300 and 2,100 (Tfc) as per the estimate by Schlumberger in 2015.<br />
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the total 4.67 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas was produced by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Company (OIC) and Private Joint Ventures in the year 2017-18. These companies have been producing natural gas from fields/blocks located in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. The total balance recoverable reserve of natural gas is about 198 BCM in North-Eastern states. <ref>"Gas Reserves in Assam and Other North-Eastern States." Press Information Bureau Government of India Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. August 1, 2018. http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=181318..</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Economic Zones==<br />
Main Article: [[Special Economic Zones]]<br />
<br />
According to Report number 21 of 2014 of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) on Performance of Special Economic Zones (SEZs),<ref>Performance Audit of Special Economic Zones SEZs of Union Government, Department of Revenue - Indirect Taxes, Customs.Report no. 21. Accessed April 5, 2018. http://www.cag.gov.in/content/report-no-21-2014-performance-audit-special-economic-zones-sezs-union-government-department. </ref> below are some instances of how the land allotted for SEZs was misused and diverted. This is especially important in the light of the discussion happening around the Land Acquisition Ordinance of the NDA government.<br />
Diversion of SEZ land for commercial purposes: 14% of land i.e., out of 39245.56 hectares of land notified in the six States10, 5402.22 hectares was diverted for commercial purposes after de-notification. Many tracts of these lands were acquired invoking the ‘public purpose’ clause. Thus, land acquired was not serving the objectives of the SEZ act. This is one of the fears with the new Land Acquisition Ordinance. How does the Government ensure that the land acquired is not misused by private parties? <br />
According to the CAG, out of the 392 notified zones, only 152 have become operational. In various states, the Developers had not commenced investments and the land had been lying idle in their custody for 2 to 7 years.<br />
<br />
=Methodology=<br />
==Land values and Floor Space Index==<br />
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio between the area of a covered floor space (built-up area) to the area of that plot on which a building stands. An index of 1 implies that the total covered floor space is 1000 Sq. Ft. on a plot of 1000 Sq. Ft. The Floor Space Index in New Delhi ranges from 1.2 to 3.5 meaning that 1200 to 3500 Sq. Ft. of floor space is available for every 1000 Sq. Ft. plot there. <br />
All the value of unused public land is calculated based on the FSI value of 1. The rates for the land have been calculated according to the prevailing rates of rural, semi-urban, and urban land in the country.<br />
<br />
==Minerals==<br />
The estimated values of the mineral resources are based on a detailed study done by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a think-tank based in New Delhi, in 2014. The author of the report has mentioned that he calculated the value of minerals based on the information from the public domain from various governmental and non-governmental agencies. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
The data on the unused public lands was collected by researchers at Free A Billion from authoritative governmental and non-governmental sources. These sources include Parliamentary Questions, data collected by various NGOs and think-tanks, government databases, information available from various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.<br />

The British East India Company started using the power of the state to acquire private property<ref>The power of “Eminent Domain” – Forceful acquisition or requisition of property by the government for public purpose.</ref> for public use as early as 1824 in Bengal and other parts of India. The Bengal Regulation I of 1824 allowed the Company to obtain private properties by paying a fair price for construction of “roads, canals, or other public purposes”<ref>Bhattacharyya, D. (2015). History of Eminent Domain in Colonial Thought and Legal Practice. Economic & Political Weekly, L (50), 46.</ref> when the Company only had limited rights related to taxation and trade as per the powers bestowed on it by the British Crown. Thus, all acquisitions conducted under the Bengal regulation and similar laws in other parts of India were patently illegal until 1857 when the British Crown took over control of India. Following that, the British acquired most of the natural and mineral resources of India; either by acquisition with meagre compensation or by coercion.<br />
Concurrently with the British rule, different princely states in India adopted similar policies with respect to the ownership of public wealth. While some states adopted the state’s ownership of public wealth, others bestowed the ownership to the community.

The Constitution of India bestows the ownership and control over using resources is in hands of the central and state governments under various articles. However, individuals and corporations can make use of the public resources under a license from the government. <br />
Since independence, there has been no concrete effort by the central or the state governments to define public wealth or regulate the same in a meaningful manner, instead the governments have chosen to deal with the issue on an ad-hoc basis.

=Public Wealth of India=<br />
<br />
Public wealth is the sum of the public assets collectively owned by all citizens of the country. The government is the manager of this public wealth.<br />
It comprises of public commercial assets under the government, such as various natural resources, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and commercial real estate. The term ''public'' consists of wealth owned by all the levels of government namely, central, state, and local levels. <br />
''Public assets'' do not comprise ''public property'', which refers to assets and resources that are available to the entire public for use, such as roads and bridges, public parks, protected wildlife sanctuaries.<br />
Public wealth consists of assets or operations generating an income that could be given some kind of market value if properly structured and used. Typical examples include: <br />
* minerals <br />
* real estate such as Lutyens Bungalow Zone (New Delhi), Navy Nagar (Mumbai)<br />
* central and state public sector enterprises<br />
* financial institutions<br />
* land banks available with various state land development authorities and in special economic zones (SEZs)<br />
* land and buildings under the government for provision of non-essential functions <ref> Non-essential functions are those that are not directly connected with the maintenance of law and order, and national security. </ref>.<br />
<br />
The total public wealth recorded from publicly available information is ₹ 1,341 lakh crore (₹ 53,64,000 per household <ref> No. of households – 25 crore (125 crore population [Census 2011] / 5 [size of a household as per GoI]) </ref>) as on October 2018. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
<br />
Land among capital, labour and entrepreneurial skills is one of the four fundamental resources that determines the size and productivity of an economy. <br />
Land in India is suffering from an artificial scarcity created out of a high cost of acquisition from excessive regulations. Major urban land parcels are lying vacant and unused locking valuable land available in the market. <br />
The following calculation points out there is ample land available in the country – <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
If one places 1.2 billion people in four-person homes of 1000 square feet each, and two workers of the family into office/factory space of 400 square feet, this requires roughly 1 per cent of India's land area assuming an FSI of 1. <ref> Shah A, [//economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/19949364.cms?from=mdr&utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst Economic Times] ‘’ Why real estate is a bad long term investment’’ </ref><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Yet the price of land in a city like Mumbai or Delhi is much more compared to cities like New Jersey.<br />
The government owned land is part of the problem. An estimate holds that governments own as much as __ per cent of total available land in the country [IDF report pick the number/ idea]. This keeps away productive land from falling into private hands for generating revenue and employment. Government bodies like Bombay Port trust own as much as ___ acre of prime property in Mumbai. Bombay port Trust has no land records for ____ amount of property owned by them. <br />

<br />
Main Article: [[Minerals]]<br />
<br />
The total value of the mineral resources of the country is estimated to be ₹5000 lakh crore. However, this number is highly conservative. The central or state governments do not have a dedicated database which lists all the resources under their control with the appropriate market values. The number also excludes the unexplored resources and spectrum under control of our governments. The number was calculated by using data available in the public domain by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a public-policy think tank based in New Delhi. <ref>Supra Note 4. </ref> The calculation only includes – <br />
i. Stocks of hydrocarbons in the country such as coal, lignite, crude oil, natural gas, etc. and ii. Major mined and mineral resources stock in the country. <ref>Ibid. page 2.</ref><br />
According to an estimate by Schlumberger in 2015, India holds a minimum of 300 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of gas and oil resources. An estimate of US Geological Survey reveals that India might be the world's second-largest holder of gas hydrate reserves. The total amount of reserves that India has can be between 300 and 2,100 (Tfc) as per the estimate by Schlumberger in 2015.<br />
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the total 4.67 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas was produced by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Company (OIC) and Private Joint Ventures in the year 2017-18. These companies have been producing natural gas from fields/blocks located in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. The total balance recoverable reserve of natural gas is about 198 BCM in North-Eastern states. <ref>"Gas Reserves in Assam and Other North-Eastern States." Press Information Bureau Government of India Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. August 1, 2018. http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=181318..</ref><br />

==Special Economic Zones==<br />
Main Article: [[Special Economic Zones]]<br />
<br />
According to Report number 21 of 2014 of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) on Performance of Special Economic Zones (SEZs),<ref>Performance Audit of Special Economic Zones SEZs of Union Government, Department of Revenue - Indirect Taxes, Customs.Report no. 21. Accessed April 5, 2018. http://www.cag.gov.in/content/report-no-21-2014-performance-audit-special-economic-zones-sezs-union-government-department. </ref> below are some instances of how the land allotted for SEZs was misused and diverted. This is especially important in the light of the discussion happening around the Land Acquisition Ordinance of the NDA government.<br />
Diversion of SEZ land for commercial purposes: 14% of land i.e., out of 39245.56 hectares of land notified in the six States10, 5402.22 hectares was diverted for commercial purposes after de-notification. Many tracts of these lands were acquired invoking the ‘public purpose’ clause. Thus, land acquired was not serving the objectives of the SEZ act. This is one of the fears with the new Land Acquisition Ordinance. How does the Government ensure that the land acquired is not misused by private parties? <br />
According to the CAG, out of the 392 notified zones, only 152 have become operational. In various states, the Developers had not commenced investments and the land had been lying idle in their custody for 2 to 7 years.<br />
<br />
=Methodology=<br />
==Land values and Floor Space Index==<br />
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio between the area of a covered floor space (built-up area) to the area of that plot on which a building stands. An index of 1 implies that the total covered floor space is 1000 Sq. Ft. on a plot of 1000 Sq. Ft. The Floor Space Index in New Delhi ranges from 1.2 to 3.5 meaning that 1200 to 3500 Sq. Ft. of floor space is available for every 1000 Sq. Ft. plot there. <br />
All the value of unused public land is calculated based on the FSI value of 1. The rates for the land have been calculated according to the prevailing rates of rural, semi-urban, and urban land in the country.<br />
<br />
==Minerals==<br />
The estimated values of the mineral resources are based on a detailed study done by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a think-tank based in New Delhi, in 2014. The author of the report has mentioned that he calculated the value of minerals based on the information from the public domain from various governmental and non-governmental agencies. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
The data on the unused public lands was collected by researchers at Free A Billion from authoritative governmental and non-governmental sources. These sources include Parliamentary Questions, data collected by various NGOs and think-tanks, government databases, information available from various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.<br />

Only the mineral resources of India have been estimated to be worth more than ₹5000 lakh crores of wealth according to analysts. This sum is equivalent to over ₹40 lakh per person in India.<ref>Kundu, S. (2014). A Note on the Estimated Value of Government-Owned Natural Resources in India. New Delhi: Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability. Retrieved November 10, 2017, from http://www.cbgaindia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Estimated-Value-of-Government-Owned-Natural-Resources-in-India.pdf</ref> Apart from that, there are thousands of acres of land parcels controlled by the government. By our estimates, the known public wealth of India is over ₹1590 lakh crore, which equals to over ₹50 lakh per Indian family<ref>Assuming that an average Indian family has 5 members. That is 20 percentage points above the average household size in India as per the 2011 Census. </ref>.<br />
This figure is from a very conservative estimate of the wealth of the people. We have taken only 25% of the mineral wealth of the country to arrive at this figure. In addition, the undiscovered public wealth of India is yet to be categorised and valued. Except for [[Defense]] and [[Railways]], most other ministries and departments of the Union Government do not even know how much of land and resources they own <ref>Debroy, Bibek. "All the Sarkar's Land." The Indian Express. November 13, 2015. Accessed March 22, 2018. http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/all-the-sarkars-land/. </ref>. <br />
While some of the public resources are being used to support essential government services, most of them are lying idle across the nation due to gross misuse and poor management. <br />
<br />
All governments in India, be it central, state, or local, have contributed to the degradation of resources belonging to the people. When millions of our compatriots live in abject poverty, such a situation is unacceptable.<br />
It is important to note that even though public wealth includes common resources such as roads, government offices, airports, etc. we have not included those resources in the Public Wealth Wiki.<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
Historically, the ownership of public wealth belonged to the kings in India and most other parts of the world by the invocation of the divine rights or through means of coercion. Presently, the rights over the public wealth belong to the democratically elected Indian government, which is obligated under the constitution to use this wealth for public good.<ref>Article 39 (b) states – “The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing ... (b) that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good.”</ref> <br />
==Ancient India==<br />
In ancient India, even though the Kings represented the State, the mineral wealth did not vest in them. They were only entitled to receive the taxes or revenue form the production or extraction of minerals.<ref>Indian Bureau of Mines. (2011). Mineral Royalties. Nagpur: Indian Bureau of Mines.</ref> Simultaneously, the ownership of other public resources such as forests and water bodies were shared by the community which relied on them. However, the ownership of mineral resources gradually transferred to the state beginning with the empire of Chandragupta Maurya, particularly as Kautilya<ref>Ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist, and royal advisor, 371-283 BC.</ref> justified state monopoly over mineral resources in his seminal work Arthasastra.<ref>Supra, Note 5.</ref> The ownership of resources other than minerals, such as forests and water bodies, continued to be with the kings or the community in one form or the other across India till the arrival of the British East India Company.<br />

Main Article: [[Minerals]]<br />
<br />
The total value of the mineral resources of the country is estimated to be ₹5000 lakh crore. However, this number is highly conservative. The central or state governments do not have a dedicated database which lists all the resources under their control with the appropriate market values. The number also excludes the unexplored resources and spectrum under control of our governments. The number was calculated by using data available in the public domain by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a public-policy think tank based in New Delhi. <ref>Supra Note 4. </ref> The calculation only includes – <br />
i. Stocks of hydrocarbons in the country such as coal, lignite, crude oil, natural gas, etc. and ii. Major mined and mineral resources stock in the country. <ref>Ibid. page 2.</ref><br />
According to an estimate by Schlumberger in 2015, India holds a minimum of 300 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of gas and oil resources. An estimate of US Geological Survey reveals that India might be the world's second-largest holder of gas hydrate reserves. The total amount of reserves that India has can be between 300 and 2,100 (Tfc) as per the estimate by Schlumberger in 2015.<br />
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the total 4.67 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas was produced by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Company (OIC) and Private Joint Ventures in the year 2017-18. These companies have been producing natural gas from fields/blocks located in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. The total balance recoverable reserve of natural gas is about 198 BCM in North-Eastern states. <ref>"Gas Reserves in Assam and Other North-Eastern States." Press Information Bureau Government of India Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. August 1, 2018. http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=181318..</ref><br />

==Special Economic Zones==<br />
Main Article: [[Special Economic Zones]]<br />
<br />
According to Report number 21 of 2014 of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) on Performance of Special Economic Zones (SEZs),<ref>Performance Audit of Special Economic Zones SEZs of Union Government, Department of Revenue - Indirect Taxes, Customs.Report no. 21. Accessed April 5, 2018. http://www.cag.gov.in/content/report-no-21-2014-performance-audit-special-economic-zones-sezs-union-government-department. </ref> below are some instances of how the land allotted for SEZs was misused and diverted. This is especially important in the light of the discussion happening around the Land Acquisition Ordinance of the NDA government.<br />
Diversion of SEZ land for commercial purposes: 14% of land i.e., out of 39245.56 hectares of land notified in the six States10, 5402.22 hectares was diverted for commercial purposes after de-notification. Many tracts of these lands were acquired invoking the ‘public purpose’ clause. Thus, land acquired was not serving the objectives of the SEZ act. This is one of the fears with the new Land Acquisition Ordinance. How does the Government ensure that the land acquired is not misused by private parties? <br />
According to the CAG, out of the 392 notified zones, only 152 have become operational. In various states, the Developers had not commenced investments and the land had been lying idle in their custody for 2 to 7 years.<br />
<br />
=Methodology=<br />
==Land values and Floor Space Index==<br />
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio between the area of a covered floor space (built-up area) to the area of that plot on which a building stands. An index of 1 implies that the total covered floor space is 1000 Sq. Ft. on a plot of 1000 Sq. Ft. The Floor Space Index in New Delhi ranges from 1.2 to 3.5 meaning that 1200 to 3500 Sq. Ft. of floor space is available for every 1000 Sq. Ft. plot there. <br />
All the value of unused public land is calculated based on the FSI value of 1. The rates for the land have been calculated according to the prevailing rates of rural, semi-urban, and urban land in the country.<br />
<br />
==Minerals==<br />
The estimated values of the mineral resources are based on a detailed study done by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a think-tank based in New Delhi, in 2014. The author of the report has mentioned that he calculated the value of minerals based on the information from the public domain from various governmental and non-governmental agencies. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
The data on the unused public lands was collected by researchers at Free A Billion from authoritative governmental and non-governmental sources. These sources include Parliamentary Questions, data collected by various NGOs and think-tanks, government databases, information available from various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.<br />

Only the mineral resources of India have been estimated to be worth more than ₹5000 lakh crores of wealth according to analysts. This sum is equivalent to over ₹40 lakh per person in India.<ref>Kundu, S. (2014). A Note on the Estimated Value of Government-Owned Natural Resources in India. New Delhi: Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability. Retrieved November 10, 2017, from http://www.cbgaindia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Estimated-Value-of-Government-Owned-Natural-Resources-in-India.pdf</ref> Apart from that, there are thousands of acres of land parcels controlled by the government. By our estimates, the known public wealth of India is over ₹1590 lakh crore, which equals to over ₹50 lakh per Indian family<ref>Assuming that an average Indian family has 5 members. That is 20 percentage points above the average household size in India as per the 2011 Census. </ref>.<br />
This figure is from a very conservative estimate of the wealth of the people. We have taken only 25% of the mineral wealth of the country to arrive at this figure. In addition, the undiscovered public wealth of India is yet to be categorised and valued. Except for [[Defense]] and [[Railways]], most other ministries and departments of the Union Government do not even know how much of land and resources they own <ref>Debroy, Bibek. "All the Sarkar's Land." The Indian Express. November 13, 2015. Accessed March 22, 2018. http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/all-the-sarkars-land/. </ref>. <br />
While some of the public resources are being used to support essential government services, most of them are lying idle across the nation due to gross misuse and poor management. <br />
<br />
All governments in India, be it central, state, or local, have contributed to the degradation of resources belonging to the people. When millions of our compatriots live in abject poverty, such a situation is unacceptable.<br />
It is important to note that even though public wealth includes common resources such as roads, government offices, airports, etc. we have not included those resources in the Public Wealth Wiki.<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
Historically, the ownership of public wealth belonged to the kings in India and most other parts of the world by the invocation of the divine rights or through means of coercion. Presently, the rights over the public wealth belong to the democratically elected Indian government, which is obligated under the constitution to use this wealth for public good.<ref>Article 39 (b) states – “The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing ... (b) that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good.”</ref> <br />
==Ancient India==<br />
In ancient India, even though the Kings represented the State, the mineral wealth did not vest in them. They were only entitled to receive the taxes or revenue form the production or extraction of minerals.<ref>Indian Bureau of Mines. (2011). Mineral Royalties. Nagpur: Indian Bureau of Mines.</ref> Simultaneously, the ownership of other public resources such as forests and water bodies were shared by the community which relied on them. However, the ownership of mineral resources gradually transferred to the state beginning with the empire of Chandragupta Maurya, particularly as Kautilya<ref>Ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist, and royal advisor, 371-283 BC.</ref> justified state monopoly over mineral resources in his seminal work Arthasastra.<ref>Supra, Note 5.</ref> The ownership of resources other than minerals, such as forests and water bodies, continued to be with the kings or the community in one form or the other across India till the arrival of the British East India Company.<br />
==British India==<br />
The British East India Company started using the power of the state to acquire private property<ref>The power of “Eminent Domain” – Forceful acquisition or requisition of property by the government for public purpose.</ref> for public use as early as 1824 in Bengal and other parts of India. The Bengal Regulation I of 1824 allowed the Company to obtain private properties by paying a fair price for construction of “roads, canals, or other public purposes”<ref>Bhattacharyya, D. (2015). History of Eminent Domain in Colonial Thought and Legal Practice. Economic & Political Weekly, L (50), 46.</ref> when the Company only had limited rights related to taxation and trade as per the powers bestowed on it by the British Crown. Thus, all acquisitions conducted under the Bengal regulation and similar laws in other parts of India were patently illegal until 1857 when the British Crown took over control of India. Following that, the British acquired most of the natural and mineral resources of India; either by acquisition with meagre compensation or by coercion.<br />
Concurrently with the British rule, different princely states in India adopted similar policies with respect to the ownership of public wealth. While some states adopted the state’s ownership of public wealth, others bestowed the ownership to the community. Some states neglected the issue altogether and adopted a non-property attitude towards public wealth and kept it as commons<ref>Cultural or natural resource accessible to all members of the society. </ref>, particularly in case of forests and water bodies.<br />
==Modern India==<br />
The Constitution of India bestows the ownership and control over using resources is in hands of the central and state governments under various articles. However, individuals and corporations can make use of the public resources under a license from the government. <br />
Since independence, there has been no concrete effort by the central or the state governments to define public wealth or regulate the same in a meaningful manner, instead the governments have chosen to deal with the issue on an ad-hoc basis. Noting the same, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, while announcing the judgment on 2G scam in 2012, observed – “no comprehensive legislation has been enacted to generally define natural resources and a framework for their protection.”<ref>Centre for Public Interest Litigation and others v. Union of India and others, (2012) 3 SCC 1</ref> <br />
Given the constitutional provisions, the Indian state is the trustee and legal owner of the public wealth of India under the doctrine of public trust, which "enjoins upon the Government to protect the resources for the enjoyment of the public rather than to permit their use for private ownership or commercial purposes".<ref>M. C. Mehta v. Kamal Nath (1997)1 SCC 388</ref> Natural resources belong to the people, but the State legally owns them on our behalf.<br />
<br />
=Public Wealth of India=<br />
<br />
Public wealth is the sum of the public assets collectively owned by all citizens of the country. The government is the manager of this public wealth.<br />
It comprises of public commercial assets under the government, such as various natural resources, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and commercial real estate. The term ''public'' consists of wealth owned by all the levels of government namely, central, state, and local levels. <br />
''Public assets'' do not comprise ''public property'', which refers to assets and resources that are available to the entire public for use, such as roads and bridges, public parks, protected wildlife sanctuaries.<br />
Public wealth consists of assets or operations generating an income that could be given some kind of market value if properly structured and used. Typical examples include: <br />
* minerals <br />
* real estate such as Lutyens Bungalow Zone (New Delhi), Navy Nagar (Mumbai)<br />
* central and state public sector enterprises<br />
* financial institutions<br />
* land banks available with various state land development authorities and in special economic zones (SEZs)<br />
* land and buildings under the government for provision of non-essential functions <ref> Non-essential functions are those that are not directly connected with the maintenance of law and order, and national security. </ref>.<br />
<br />
The total public wealth recorded from publicly available information is ₹ 1,341 lakh crore (₹ 53,64,000 per household <ref> No. of households – 25 crore (125 crore population [Census 2011] / 5 [size of a household as per GoI]) </ref>) as on October 2018. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
<br />
Land among capital, labour and entrepreneurial skills is one of the four fundamental resources that determines the size and productivity of an economy. <br />
Land in India is suffering from an artificial scarcity created out of a high cost of acquisition from excessive regulations. Major urban land parcels are lying vacant and unused locking valuable land available in the market. <br />
The following calculation points out there is ample land available in the country – <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
If one places 1.2 billion people in four-person homes of 1000 square feet each, and two workers of the family into office/factory space of 400 square feet, this requires roughly 1 per cent of India's land area assuming an FSI of 1. <ref> Shah A, [//economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/19949364.cms?from=mdr&utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst Economic Times] ‘’ Why real estate is a bad long term investment’’ </ref><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Yet the price of land in a city like Mumbai or Delhi is much more compared to cities like New Jersey.<br />
The government owned land is part of the problem. An estimate holds that governments own as much as __ per cent of total available land in the country [IDF report pick the number/ idea]. This keeps away productive land from falling into private hands for generating revenue and employment. Government bodies like Bombay Port trust own as much as ___ acre of prime property in Mumbai. Bombay port Trust has no land records for ____ amount of property owned by them. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Table 2 and Table 3 point out the surplus land available with various governmnet bodies owned by central and state governments. <br />

The central or state governments do not have a dedicated database which lists all the resources under their control with the appropriate market values. The number also excludes the unexplored resources and spectrum under control of our governments. The number was calculated by using data available in the public domain by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a public-policy think tank based in New Delhi. <ref>Supra Note 4. </ref> The calculation only includes – <br />
i. Stocks of hydrocarbons in the country such as coal, lignite, crude oil, natural gas, etc. and ii. Major mined and mineral resources stock in the country. <ref>Ibid. page 2.</ref><br />
According to an estimate by Schlumberger in 2015, India holds a minimum of 300 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of gas and oil resources. An estimate of US Geological Survey reveals that India might be the world's second-largest holder of gas hydrate reserves. The total amount of reserves that India has can be between 300 and 2,100 (Tfc) as per the estimate by Schlumberger in 2015.<br />
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the total 4.67 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas was produced by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Company (OIC) and Private Joint Ventures in the year 2017-18. These companies have been producing natural gas from fields/blocks located in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. The total balance recoverable reserve of natural gas is about 198 BCM in North-Eastern states. <ref>"Gas Reserves in Assam and Other North-Eastern States."

==Special Economic Zones==<br />
Main Article: [[Special Economic Zones]]<br />
<br />
According to Report number 21 of 2014 of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) on Performance of Special Economic Zones (SEZs),<ref>Performance Audit of Special Economic Zones SEZs of Union Government, Department of Revenue - Indirect Taxes, Customs.Report no. 21. Accessed April 5, 2018. http://www.cag.gov.in/content/report-no-21-2014-performance-audit-special-economic-zones-sezs-union-government-department. </ref> below are some instances of how the land allotted for SEZs was misused and diverted. This is especially important in the light of the discussion happening around the Land Acquisition Ordinance of the NDA government.<br />
Diversion of SEZ land for commercial purposes: 14% of land i.e., out of 39245.56 hectares of land notified in the six States10, 5402.22 hectares was diverted for commercial purposes after de-notification. Many tracts of these lands were acquired invoking the ‘public purpose’ clause. Thus, land acquired was not serving the objectives of the SEZ act. This is one of the fears with the new Land Acquisition Ordinance. How does the Government ensure that the land acquired is not misused by private parties? <br />
According to the CAG, out of the 392 notified zones, only 152 have become operational. In various states, the Developers had not commenced investments and the land had been lying idle in their custody for 2 to 7 years.<br />
<br />
=Methodology=<br />
==Land values and Floor Space Index==<br />
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio between the area of a covered floor space (built-up area) to the area of that plot on which a building stands. An index of 1 implies that the total covered floor space is 1000 Sq. Ft. on a plot of 1000 Sq. Ft. The Floor Space Index in New Delhi ranges from 1.2 to 3.5 meaning that 1200 to 3500 Sq. Ft. of floor space is available for every 1000 Sq. Ft. plot there. <br />
All the value of unused public land is calculated based on the FSI value of 1. The rates for the land have been calculated according to the prevailing rates of rural, semi-urban, and urban land in the country.<br />
<br />
==Minerals==<br />
The estimated values of the mineral resources are based on a detailed study done by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a think-tank based in New Delhi, in 2014. The author of the report has mentioned that he calculated the value of minerals based on the information from the public domain from various governmental and non-governmental agencies. <br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
The data on the unused public lands was collected by researchers at Free A Billion from authoritative governmental and non-governmental sources. These sources include Parliamentary Questions, data collected by various NGOs and think-tanks, government databases, information available from various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.<br />

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited owns vast tracts of land across the country which is lying unused and is under encroachment. According to the 53rd Report on Land Management in BSNL 2016-17, the total area of unused land held under the BSNL is 938 acres. The value of the unused land held by the BSNL is ₹ 20,223 crore<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India revealed that 210 acres of land held by the BSNL are under encroachment across the country. CAG pointed out that the company did not make any efforts to protect these land parcels from encroachment. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
CAG also revealed that the land inherited by the BSNL in the year 2000 was not transferred in the name of the company till 2012. Because of which the company cannot sell their idle assets. This also gave rise to illegal encroachments. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The company is sitting on a large chunk of vacant land in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru etc. BSNL holds 66 acres of unused land of the value of ₹ 13,400 crore in Mumbai. In Kolkata, 158 acres of land of the value of ₹ 671 crore is locked by BSNL. 117 acres of land of the value of ₹ 1,280 held by the BSNL is lying unutilized in Bengaluru. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
By 2017-17, BSNL made a cumulative loss of ₹ 55,000 crore. This clearly indicates that BSNL is misusing the huge tracts of land allotted to them and even wasting the taxpayer’s money by making huge losses.<br />
<br><br />
<br> <br />
These unused land parcels which are locked by BSNL must be unlocked so that it could be efficiently used for the development of the country. <br />

<hr />
<div>The Heavy Engineering Corporation Limited (HEC) is a public-sector undertaking which was established in the year 1958 in Ranchi, Jharkhand. HEC functions under the control of the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, Government of India. HEC is one of the largest integrated engineering complexes in India. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The company is in the business of manufacturing casting & forging, fabrication, machining, assembly, and testing etc. HEC is the biggest landlord of Ranchi, as it holds huge tracts of land in the city. HEC owns 5,000 acres (or equal to 3,787 football fields )of land in Ranchi <ref>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/indl-goods/svs/engineering/heavy-engineering-corporation-ranchis-biggest-landlord-owns-5000-acres-but-is-still-a-sick-unit/articleshow/46970625.cms</ref>.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
In the year 1958, the Bihar Government allotted 7,199 acres of land form 23 village in old Ranchi district of land to HEC in Ranchi. The land was acquired from 1959 to 1973 from these 23 villages in old Ranchi district. The land was given to HEC to build the HEC factory complex with housing and other facilities for the employees. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
In the year 2009, the Jharkhand Government demanded 2,342 acres of land for the HEC. During this year, HEC had grown as a sick unit. The HEC revival package involved the sale of 2,342 acres of land to the Jharkhand Government, which was paying ₹275 crore to HEC. However, the company could only transfer 2,000 acres of land. The HEC failed to evict encroachment from the remaining 300 acres of land. The estimated value of the encroached land held by the HEC is ₹ 3,000 crore. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
In June 2014, HEC asked the permission of the central government to allow them to sell their 37 acres of land to generate a revenue of ₹ 335 crore. The government refused to grant permission to HEC, but this move helped the HEC to now about the commercial value of their land which came to be ₹ 10 crore per acre. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The Heavy Engineering Corporation is sitting on 5,000 acres of land worth ₹ 45,000- 50,000 crore. HEC is not using more than 10 percent of land acquired by them. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The public-sector corporations such as HEC acquire huge tracts of land in the name of carrying out industrial activities and to provide employment to the people whom land they acquired. Instead, these corporations keep these parcels of land unutilized and make huge losses the cost of which is borne by the people of India. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Such huge tracts of unused land must be freed from the control of Heavy Engineering Corporation so that it could be used for more productive purposes which will bring development in Ranchi. <br />

<div>Richardson and Cruddas (1972) Limited is a state-owned enterprise which was established on 15th March 1973. The company functions under the control of the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises. The company is in the business of manufacturing fabricated metal products and metal working service activities.<br />
<br><br />
<br> <br />
The Government of Maharashtra allotted three plots of 54,285 sqm to Richardson and Cruddas for industrial purposes on a 99-year lease at Byculla, Mumbai. The officials of Government of Maharashtra found that the company did not use the plot for the intended purpose. The company started using the plot for commercial purposes such as shooting, entertainment and organizing events even without permission <ref>https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Richardson-Cruddas-told-to-return-Byculla-plot-to-govt/articleshow/55550106.cms</ref>.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Richardson and Cruddas also hold 36 acres of unused land at Mulund West, Mumbai of the value of ₹ 74,000 crore. The company also holds 27 acres of land in Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in Nagpur of the value of ₹ 136 crores is lying unutilized. The total value of these unused land parcels held by the company is ₹ 98,000 crore. These are the conservative value of the unused land held by the company. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Richardson and Cruddas is sitting on large chunks of valuable land in the prime locations of Mumbai. The parcels of land are locked by the company which creates an artificial scarcity of land in the city. As a result, the price of plots increases, and this also increases the price of housing and infrastructure projects in cities. Freeing up all such unused and locked land parcels have the potential of reducing the artificial scarcity of land in the city. <br />

<div>The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is a state-owned telecommunication company, established on 15th September 2000. BSNL functions under the control of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India. BSNL is in the business of providing telecom services across the country. BSNL has its headquarters in New Delhi. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited owns vast tracts of land across the country which is lying unused and is under encroachment. According to the 53rd Report on Land Management in BSNL 2016-17, the total area of unused land held under the BSNL is 938 acres. The value of the unused land held by the BSNL is ₹ 20,223 crore<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India revealed that 210 acres of land held by the BSNL are under encroachment across the country. CAG pointed out that the company did not make any efforts to protect these land parcels from encroachment. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
CAG also revealed that the land inherited by the BSNL in the year 2000 was not transferred in the name of the company till 2012. Because of which the company cannot sell their idle assets. This also gave rise to illegal encroachments. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The company is sitting on a large chunk of vacant land in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru etc. BSNL holds 66 acres of unused land of the value of ₹ 13,400 crore in Mumbai. In Kolkata, 158 acres of land of the value of ₹ 671 crore is locked by BSNL. 117 acres of land of the value of ₹ 1,280 held by the BSNL is lying unutilized in Bengaluru. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
By 2017-17, BSNL made a cumulative loss of ₹ 55,000 crore. This clearly indicates that BSNL is misusing the huge tracts of land allotted to them and even wasting the taxpayer’s money by making huge losses.<br />
<br><br />
<br> <br />
These unused land parcels which are locked by BSNL must be unlocked so that it could be efficiently used for the development of the country. <br />
