Telangana govt to conduct land survey

Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Wednesday charted a course of action for the successful conduct of the comprehensive land survey across the State, beginning September 15.

The survey will be conducted over a period of three-and-half months and would be completed by December 31. “The extensive survey is required to find a permanent solution to land disputes, simplify registration process, transparency in land records maintenance and successful implementation of the agriculture capital scheme,” the Chief Minister said during a marathon, day-long,



high-level meeting with Cabinet ministers and officials at Pragathi Bhavan here.

The modalities for the survey were finalised based on the recommendations of the Raghunandan Rao Committee appointed by the government to look into the issue. Finalising the schedule for the land survey and formation of farmers’ societies, Chandrashekhar Rao said village level farmers’ societies comprising all farmers will be constituted from September 1 to 9, and simultaneously, farmers’ coordination committees comprising 11 members would also be formed.
