Govt plans to bring legislation to allow one-guntha plots in residential areas
'We are introducing legislation in the Monsoon Assembly session that will allow legal subdivision of a one-guntha plot in residential zones,' the minister told mediapersons Delhi Monday.
The legislation entails simplifying the process of sub division of revenue land.
It aims to divide large parcels lands into smaller plots for residential and commercial, agricultural purposes.
Bawankule said that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed an amendment to the existing land-plot prohibition law in state.
'During the monsoon session, we will also work on 'One State One Registration' and vertical-ownership initiatives,' Bawankule added, highlighting the government's aim to simplify land records and facilitate shared property models.
Bawankule, during his Delhi visit, met Union Energy Minister Manohar Lal Khattar to discuss the rehabilitation of residents from Kumbhari village in connection with the NTPC project in Nagpur's Mouda Taluka.
'Just as agricultural land was acquired, their houses must be rehabilitated in the same way. The visit was to discuss that with Khattar,' he said.

In marathon debate on roadmap for Viksit UP, govt cites accolades, Opp pokes holes
A SPECIAL 24-hour marathon discussion on creating a 'vision document' for a developed Uttar Pradesh by 2047 began in the state Assembly around 11:30 am on Wednesday, with the BJP government calling for a united effort towards the goal, even as the Opposition dismissed it as a 'lollipop' and demanded that the ruling party first 'account for its 2022 poll promises.' Setting the ball rolling on the discussion on the topic 'Developed India-Developed Uttar Pradesh, Self-reliant India-Self-reliant Uttar Pradesh', state Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna said UP is on the path of becoming the second-largest economy in the country. He emphasised that India would become a developed nation only when the states take concrete and effective steps for development. 'Today, we are preparing a long-term vision and, for this, it is necessary that all the respected members unite and become a part of this effort so that our country and state can be fully developed on completion of 100 years of independence,' Khanna said. Senior ministers highlighted the achievements of the government in various fields and reaffirmed their commitment to make UP the most developed state of the country by 2047. However, the Opposition demanded the government's reply on the fulfillment of promises made in the BJP's 'Sankalpa Patras', or manifestos, ahead of the 2017 and 2022 Assembly polls. Senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Shivpal Singh Yadav asked whether all the promises made by the BJP in the 2022 Assembly polls have been fulfilled. 'If not, then how can we expect (vision of 2047) to be fulfilled.' He said that any vision should be for a maximum of five years. 'You people are speaking of the vision for 2047 – which will be after 22 years. We want to say that this is not a vision, this is a lollipop.' 'First, the 2022 manifesto should be accounted for. Future matters will come later; the past should be accounted for first,' the opposition leader said. He said the BJP government 'has brought the dream of 2047 in the House', implying that when today's youths are taking their grandchildren to school, the government is promising to bring about development at that time. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak hit back at the Opposition, especially the previous SP government, alleging that the condition of infrastructure and law and order in the state was 'pathetic' before the BJP came to power in 2017. But now Uttar Pradesh has the maximum number of expressways and 75 districts have been connected with four-lane roads, he said. Pathak alleged that the criminals were acting with impunity under the previous government. The minister's remarks drew protests from SP members, but he continued to speak amid the din. 'Uttar Pradesh is number one in the country in wheat, milk, and sugar production. There has been remarkable progress in health services, including 80 medical colleges, AIIMS in Rae Bareli and Gorakhpur, and 5,250 MBBS seats,' Pathak said. Five and a half crore cards have been made under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Mosquito-borne diseases have been controlled, and the target is to completely eradicate TB, malaria and water-borne diseases, the minister claimed. Pathak said super specialty hospitals and trauma centres would be set up in every division. Disease monitoring and prevention systems will be developed for effective control of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Jal Shakti Minister Swatantra Dev Singh, while listing the achievements of the 'double-engine' government, said that before 2017, Uttar Pradesh was called 'Bimaru' and investors and businessmen were migrating from the state. Mentioning the achievements of the Jal Shakti Department, he said irrigation has been provided in one crore 4 lakh hectares through 76,527 km of canals and the state has received the National Water Award. Urban Development and Energy Minister Arvind Kumar Sharma said that Uttar Pradesh is working fast to realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resolve of a developed India. Referring to the poor condition of the power system before 2017, he said that there were 'neither poles nor wires in the villages, and there were scams in electricity bills'. But now the peak demand of 32,000 MW is being met in the state – which is more than the 13,000 MW of 2012-17. Sharma also spoke of the progress in urban management and noted that Lucknow has been included among the 'three cleanest cities of the country.' Khanna said the public gave its mandate to the BJP government in 2022 based on its delivery in connection with the 2017 Sankalp Patra. He accused the SP of spreading anarchy. Leader of the Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey countered, 'We do not spread anarchy; you do.' Shivpal Yadav said, 'This (vision document) means that when today's youngsters would take their children to school, then your vision of development would be implemented. Vision should have been there for the next five years because youngsters would become old and many of us would not be there to see the reality of this 2047 vision. He added, 'You have not fulfilled your promises to raise MSP, provide water to every field, nor have you provided employment to every unemployed person, double the income of farmers etc, the promises made in 2022, so how can we trust 2047 vision. 'You promise women security but incidents such as those in Balrampur or BHU prove otherwise. You promised 'Gaddha mukta' roads but even the roads in a five-km radius of Vidhan Sabha building are full of potholes,' said Shivpal. Khanna informed the house that in the past eight years, the state's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) has reached Rs 29.87 lakh crore, and the goal for the current financial year is Rs 35 lakh crore. He informed the house that investment proposals worth more than Rs 40 lakh crore have been received, with industries being set up in regions like Purvanchal and Bundelkhand adding that UP aims to become country's most developed state by 2047, 'targeting zero poverty, world-class infrastructure, top investment status, and hubs for space tech and IT.' Further focusing on the government's vision towards alternative energy and research in agriculture, Khanna told the House, 'Research will be promoted for advanced agricultural technology and better seeds, to equip farmers with technical know-how and access to global markets. The state also plans to use AI to curb tax evasion, empower half the population to be self-reliant, instill duty and patriotism in children, and promote healthy lifestyles through yoga.'
