The State Government of Uttar Pradesh, India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the State Government and Maitreya Project Trust and, in compliance with the Indian Land Acquistion Act, has completed the necessary legal requirements for the acquisition of the 750-acre land site to be made available to Maitreya Project, in Kushinagar, UP in northern India.
This provides the basis for the Trust to establish itself at Kushinagar in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Kushinagar, where Lord Buddha passed away, is one of the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites in India.
It will be some months before Maitreya Project will take possession of a site and a full announcement will be made at that time. As soon as all legalities are finalised detailed design, development and site work will commence immediately.
