Deccan Chronicle too concludes the same by saying, quote: Take special economic zones: do they really ensure development, or are they a form of “land grab” by the powerful?

Its effect on people losing their land can be devastating: one West Bengal study shows a 45 per cent fall in access to work, 50 per cent rise in poverty, 60 per cent children leaving school to work to supplement family incomes, and women forced to become sex workers. This is not the development we need! unquote.
