The document summarizes the process of land procurement and consensus building for the development of Naya Raipur, the new capital city of Chhattisgarh, India. It discusses how over 8,500 hectares of land was procured through private purchases, land acquisition, and government land transfers. Consensus was built through continuous dialogue with affected villagers to explain the project benefits and provide fair compensation and rehabilitation. A special committee was formed to determine land rates, which were negotiated to be 3 to 5 times the existing rates. Annuity payments are also being provided to project affected families from 2012-2031. The new city's development plan envisions a green, smart and sustainable city with various infrastructure projects already in progress.
