Nautor land means the right to utilise waste land owned by the government outside the towns, reserved and demarcated protected forests with the sanction of the competent authority subject to the availability of land.
Kinnaur district has a rich culture and the present state government would come up with innovative ideas to promote the rich cultural heritage of this tribal district, he said, adding that in order to provide maximum benefit to the apple growers, 10 controlled atmosphere (CA) stores will be set up in the state.
It will not only protect the apple growers from any exploitation by middlemen but will also ensure remunerative prices for the growers. The department has already floated tenders for setting up these stores, he said.
Forty bighas of land have been identified in Kinnaur for establishing Rajiv Gandhi Day-Boarding School construction work for which will be started this year, adding that these schools would be opened in each assembly segment of the state to ensure quality education to the students near their homes, the chief minister said.
