Noida Airport made a millionaire overnight! Farmer got compensation of Rs 15 crore, first bought helicopter and now preparations for Thailand

No one knows when, where and how luck will turn. Often people sell their land out of compulsion or in some trouble, but for a farmer from Western Uttar Pradesh, selling his land proved to be the biggest ‘turning point’ of his life. The land acquisition for Noida International Airport has changed the world of this farmer.

Compensation amount and royal hobbies

This farmer has received a huge compensation of about Rs 15 crore in exchange for giving his land for the airport project. This sudden immense wealth has completely changed the lifestyle of the farmer. According to reports, the farmer first bought a helicopter with the compensation money and is now planning to go on a trip to Thailand. Discussions about this farmer are on every tongue in the villages of Western UP.

Airport project changed the face of villages

This mega airport project, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 28, has changed the economic picture of dozens of nearby villages. According to a report in ‘Indian Express’, new doors of possibilities have now opened in areas where earlier the sources of income were very limited. Local people say that the huge amount of compensation has given wings to their age-old desires. The living style of many families has become hi-tech and luxurious overnight.

Small businessmen got a big boost

Not only the land owners, but also the people involved in rent and small business have lost their money. Shivam Prajapati, 26, of Banwari Bas says that the compensation has completely changed the lifestyle of the people. At the same time, a 56-year-old villager built six additional rooms in his house and started renting it out to laborers, which earned him huge income every month. However, as the construction work of the airport is being completed, there has been a slight decline in income due to the decrease in the number of tenants.

New challenges came with prosperity

Youth like Ajay Beniwal of Kishorepur village also took advantage of this opportunity and started doing small jobs related to the needs of laborers and started earning up to Rs 60 thousand per month. But meanwhile, the news of the farmer buying a helicopter has sparked a new debate on social media. While some people are considering it a symbol of farmer’s progress and prestige, some are calling it wasteful expenditure. The truth is that this project has given economic strength to the farmers, but handling this sudden immense wealth properly has now become a big challenge for them.
