Andhra Pradesh: YS Jagan to launch comprehensive survey of lands in Krishna district today

The government of Andhra Pradesh headed by chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is going to start another important program in the state today. Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy will inaugurate the program on Monday in Jaggaiahpet, Krishna district. A comprehensive survey of lands is going on after hundreds of years. YSR Jagananna Permanent Land Rights - Land Protection has launched six months ago as a pilot project in the Krishna district. While the survey has already been completed there, the CM will look into the nature of the survey and hand over the pattas to the farmers. The land survey was conducted in the state between 1920-27. In the joint state, it started under the name of Bhubharati between 2004-08 but stopped in the middle. Later a comprehensive survey was initiated under the name of Buddhar, but it was not even completed.

The survey will be conducted across the state in a manner with continuous operating reference stations (CARs) connected to GPS. The survey will be conducted by a drone under the auspices of the Survey of India. All agricultural and non-agricultural lands in the state are surveyed and demarcated with accuracy and permanent rights are granted. Full rights will be available after three years. In the meantime, differences are being resolved through civil courts.

The government has decided to complete the entire land survey in the state by August 2023 across the state. Then the registration process will be done in the village and ward secretariats. Rovers and base stations are set up during the CARs survey process. These have GPS connectivity. The survey is based on latitude and longitude for which 70 base stations will be set up in the state. About 14,000 surveyors in the state will take part in it. Already 420 people have been fully trained.
