c). non-conversion of agricultural land and

But implementation of the scheme is subject to the Karnataka High Court permission. The court has directed the government to maintain status quo with regard to implementation of the scheme. Till date the Government has not filed any affidavit in the court regarding the amendment. Even this may be challenged.
