Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh government is facing fresh problems from agriculture labourers in the 17 villages where the government has decided to pool land for construction of the capital city.

Every village has a minimum of 200 labourers and in 17 villages there are about 15,000 agriculture labourers.

After the government pools the agriculture land in those villages, all of them will lose their livelihood. They are also not trained to do any other kind of work with agriculture being the only work they know.

The option of moving to other nearby villages is of no use as the same problems exist there too.

Under National the Rural Employment Guarantee Programme the government will give employment to the labourers in rural areas.

Officials said that the government cannot implement this scheme in those villages in the future because all those villages will fall under the capital city.

The NREGP mentions that it is only for labourers in rural areas. The government has decided to give Rs 25,000 per acre to the farmers per year in land pooling. The agriculture labourers are also demanding compensation in view of losing their livelihood.

AP is planning to rehabilitate the labourers by giving them skill training. But the officials said that the most of them being uneducated are incapable of learning anything else. They suggest financial aid instead that may help them to set up a small business.

Meanwhile, farmers are cultivating more than one crop on their land are demanding more compensation.
