NEW DELHI: Kerala Law Minister P Rajeeve said that the state will implement a single-window system to expedite the repurposing of five per cent of the state’s plantation sector for other purposes.
“Authorities are making the move to overcome practical hazards in getting official approval for non-plantation projects in the sector,” he said after inaugurating the second edition of the Kerala Plantation Expo in the city.
“We are set to soon convene a meeting of all the allied departments. The single-window system will come into existence at the start of the next financial year (2024-25),” said Rajeeve, who is also the Minister for Industries and Coir.
The three-day event, being organised at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium by Plantation Directorate of the State Industries Department, is hosting an array of special business-to-business meets amid a grand showcase of the products and services in the sector.
At the opening ceremony, presided over by TJ Vinod, MLA, the minister noted that renovation of the quarters for the plantation labourers has been a major issue adding to the financial burden of the owners.
