Chief Minister Oommen Chandy clarified that the priority of the Kerala meet is idea sharing and projects that are really needed for the state's development. The land will be given on lease for the approved projects on lease for a specific period. "Not an inch of land will be sold for projects approved in the meet, he warned Real Estate investors.
Chandy also said environmental impact analysis will be made compulsory for all projects, while addressing the concerns of environmentalists.
Industries minister PK Kunhalikutty added that the projects won't eat away large chunks of land or harm our environment. "We need to extend a cordial welcome to those who come here with ideas and investment. There is no point in viewing the meet with a closed mindset,”
Both the CM and the industries minister regretted for not being able to make the meet as much transparent as possible. "I work from an office which is under web camera surveillance. I don't switch off the camera when some persona non grata come visits me. Similarly, I thought of placing all ideas in the website so that the public can study them and debate," clarified Chandy referring to the recent controversies over certain proposals placed in the Emerging Kerala website.
