Towards this, MSEZ has already acquired 300 acres of land and is developing the R&R colony. This land has been identified in consultation with the PDFs.

Emphasis on long term training   Click Here>>

MSEZ has given substantial emphasis on training eligible members of PDFs. The objective of MSEZ has been to give long term and meaningful training, which will eventually ensure decent employment to the displaced persons and help them improve their socio-economic status in a significant manner.

This scheme has already been started through an agreement signed with the prestigious institution viz. Karnataka Polytechnic, Mangalore, by which up to 650 candidates will be trained for Diploma equivalent in Engineering (various branches like Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical and Civil.). As part of this course, each candidate will be trained for a period of three years. This is a specially designed course exclusively for the Project Displaced Candidates of Mangalore SEZ Project and will be run by the Karnataka Polytechnic from 02.00 pm to 7.30 pm everyday. In this connection, MSEZ has also provided the college with an additional generator to take care of any power failures during the evening hours.

In addition to the entire cost of such long term training, MSEZ is also providing the students accessories like uniforms, raincoats, scientific calculators and mini drafters. MSEZ is also paying for the bus passes and a stipend.

In addition, MSEZ is evolving other training schemes for the other eligible members of PDFs, who have either not passed the 8/10th Class and are hence ineligible for the course in Karnataka Polytechnic or are interested in other kinds of courses which are non-engineering in nature.

The actual construction would be handled by the local Committees themselves. Further, the Company has also agreed to reimburse the cost of ceremonies involved in relocating the idols.
