State govt. sets the ball rolling for land resurvey covering 1.26 lakh sq km in a bid to clean up and update old records, starting with agricultural fields
The Andhra Pradesh government’s decision to do a comprehensive resurvey of lands assumes significance as the last such exercise dates back to almost a century. The present target is to map lands in more than 17,340 villages in three phases and complete it by August 2023.
‘It will cover 17,460 villages spanning over 1.26 lakh sq km in three phases’
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will launch the comprehensive resurvey of lands under the ‘Jagananna Bhu Hakku - Bhu Raksha’ scheme on December 21.
The resurvey being jointly undertaken by the Revenue, Panchayat Raj and Municipal Administration departments, and the Survey of India (SoI), will take off at Takkellapadu in Jaggaiahpet mandal of Krishna district, and cover 17,460 villages spanning over 1.26 lakh square kilometres in three phases.
Completion deadline
“It is targeted to be completed by August 2023 at an estimated cost of ₹987 crore,” Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Revenue Dharmana Krishna Das told the media on Friday.
