Google Data Center Land Acquisition Progresses in Tarluwada
Google wants to build a big data center in a place called Tarluwada.

The government is paying them good money for their land and giving them extra things like jobs, shops, and places to live.
A few farmers want more benefits, like bigger houses and new roads.
Almost everyone in the village is happy with this plan, and the leaders are working together to make it happen.
The first step of building the center is expected to start soon, in March.
