Lands in AP to get unique identification number

Amaravati: Lands in Andhra Pradesh will soon get a unique identification number called Bhudhar, like Aadhar for individuals.

Bhudhar will be a 11-digit unique number that will be issued for every plot and agricultural land, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu announced here today.

At a review meeting on Panchayat Raj and Information Technology departments, the Chief Minister said a Land Hub project called Bhu Seva would soon be started to resolve the growing land disputes and also check land value.

A release from the Chief Ministers Office said core data of the Land Hub would be prepared and 20 services related to six departments would be delivered to citizens through Bhu Seva.
It would be introduced on a pilot basis in a municipality and a mandal.

"Survey and mapping of lands should be done in a foolproof manner to check irregularities in land transactions. Technology should be put to good use to remove all hassles for people," the Chief Minister told the officials.
