Hidco land lottery refers to the land allocation system managed by the Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (HIDCO) in West Bengal, India. This system is used to distribute residential and commercial plots through a transparent lottery process. It is a popular initiative aimed at providing affordable housing opportunities to the public, especially in planned urban areas like New Town, Kolkata.
The process involves applicants submitting their details online or offline, followed by a computerized draw to select winners. This method ensures fairness and reduces corruption, making it a trusted model for land distribution in India. Hidco land lotteries often attract thousands of participants due to the high demand for property in developing regions. |
