YEIDA Land-Use Categories

YEIDA plans use categories such as residential, industrial, commercial, institutional, mixed use, transport, utilities, green belts, parks, water bodies, agriculture and village abadi. A colour or category describes planned use at a particular plan level; it does not by itself prove ownership, allotment, development readiness or permission for a specific activity.

Does a Land-Use Label Grant Permission?
