People of Sanand and neighbouring villages want employment and work in the Nano project which is being implemented on Sanand-Viramgam Highway, after the Tata group decided to shift it from Singur, 30 km from here.
They are amused by the fact that the Tata Motor Ltd (TML) is set to launch the car, often described as the world's cheapest car, in the market on Monday. But they wish that the government had not given exemption to TML from hiring 85 per cent local people, which is the policy of the state government.
However, with the launch of much-awaited car, they hope that Sanand project will become functional soon and they will find some work either in the Nano project or in the auto component units which are likely to be set up adjacent to the plant.
"I read in the paper that Nano will be launched on Monday. Its good to know this because eventually the car will be manufactured from Sanand," said Bhikhabhai Patel, a Sanand-based farmer. When asked whether people are hopeful of getting employment in the Nano project, Patel said that people are hopeful of getting employment but this may not be on large scale.
