For the above mentioned purpose, we chose Taluka: BHOR of Pune District, as it is Naturally Beautiful and Property is within our Budget. We have visited land-sites but want to verify following Legal issue with you,
1.How a charitable trusts working on Education can purchase an Agricultural land in Pune, Maharashtra?
2.There are categories for land use, as Green Zone and Forest Zone. Which category of land is suitable for our purpose? As we are intended to keep maximum land use for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry, and only say 30-35% land will be used to set up eco friendly architect (mud houses and natural houses) and water harvesting. Our campus will of national and international importance and will offer service to mankind.
3.The Property we have chosen at this time comes under Kheti Vanikaran Zone; can we go with this property for above mentioned purpose?
4.What are legal processes for Zone conversion, say if we needed to go for this? What will be the cost of conversion to suitable zone for an Acre of land? How long it can take? What are risk factors in going with this property?
