Re: [rti_india] Everything under the Earth and above the sky

There seems to be some misunderstanding. Normally the nations wealth belong to the people of India and Government is only a custodian. i.e. of there are valuable mineral deposits etc. that GSI is the custodian of these minerals, same in case of forest reserves, habitats etc. The Government has laid down guidelines on how these can be utilized by the people including commercial organizations.

In most cases, these organizations have to meet the formalities and apply for license after paying the prescribed fees etc. This includes the air waves.

More later

The government order says all materials under the earth and above the sky belongs to Government. But it allows private bodies to use the sky for wireless connections and dig oil wells and take minerals from under the Earth.

Please let us know if these orders were changed and the Government can sell or lease out anything under the Earth and above the sky?
