What Is Green Zone Land?

Hello. I am a legal advisor by profession. I have come across a few cases of land acquisition in the allotted Green Zone region. A lot of clients and people in general ask me what is Green Zone area. Let me clear up the confusion with this answer. I hope this reaches the maximum people.

Green Zone plot meaning

In general, all the lands are termed agricultural lands. If a particular piece of land does not come under a non-agricultural category, it is referred to as agricultural land whether it is used for the purpose of cultivation or not. 

When a plot or area is mainly used for agricultural purposes, the Regional Plan places it under the Green Zone.

This is done to promote and safeguard agricultural practices, preserve the plot for recreational activity, etc. However, the Green Zone cannot be entirely used for agriculture. This is because of the following reasons.

1. The agricultural plot needs to be taken into use for various other agricultural activities like agro-based industries.

2. A village area requires amenities such as a constructed road for better connectivity, hospitals and schools.

3. In each village, there are a few places which are allocated for village settlement. The plot of land reserved for such activity is known as Gaothan. With the rising population in the village areas, there is a need for housing spaces. Hence, provisions are made in the MLR Code in the Bombay Village Gram Panchayat Act for the extension of Gaothan when we talk in terms of Maharashtra.

I hope my answer helps you to understand the subject, Green Zone.

People all of a sudden realized that the gradual increase of population has actually affected our environment a lot and so on 15th August, I saw many institutions or companies planting trees as many as possible. Yes I did it too. While doing so several statements came to be spoken and one of my colleagues said that that is why demarcation of the Green zone is important. May of us did not know what is Green Zone land meaning so we asked her about it. She gave us a simple meaning so let me share its meaning and relevance here.

Green Zone is that area of land that is meant for agriculture usage only and at no cost, a residential construction can take place there.

Only an agriculturalist is able to buy such a land and harvest crops and no one else can buy it.

What is the purpose of Green Zone Land?

Green Zone lands are actually stationary or floating districts fabricated by a local government to promote sustainable practices or help to reduce environmental impacts and revitalize an area.

It helps in reducing pollution which is the chief aim or purpose of such lands.

This is all I got to tell about the Green Zone land meaning
