Andhra To Roll Out Pattadar Passbooks With QR Codes From August 1
1/8 The Andhra Pradesh government is placing strong emphasis on land, house sites, and residential properties. From August 1, it will issue new Pattadar passbooks to landowners. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has directed revenue officials to distribute these updated documents to landowners whose surveys are complete by August. In the first phase, 21.86 lakh people are set to receive the new passbooks once printing is finished, and the public is being encouraged to prepare for collection. (News18 Telugu) These new passbooks will be technology-enabled, with each containing a QR code. Landowners will be able to scan the code and enter their Aadhaar number to access detailed information about their land. The details will instantly appear on their mobile screens. The CM has stressed that landowners must have full awareness of the location and particulars of their property. This digital solution is expected to provide greater security and help prevent land encroachments. (News18 Telugu) CM Naidu has also instructed officials to resolve all freehold-related issues by October. Freehold ownership refers to complete, permanent ownership of property, including the right to use, sell, or modify it. Unlike leasehold, which is restricted by time limits, freehold ensures permanent rights. The Chief Minister emphasised the need for prompt action so that landowners receive full ownership rights before the deadline. (News18 Telugu) Officials have also been asked to issue permanent caste certificates to all eligible persons by October. Since the new coalition government assumed office, 43.89 lakh people have received their certificates, and the Chief Minister has called for the remaining individuals to be covered swiftly. The allotment of graveyard space for Scheduled Castes (SCs) must also be completed, with a target of 363 locations. The government has allocated Rs. 137 crore for land acquisition, aiming to finish the project within three years.(News18 Telugu) Under the previous administration led by Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, names and photographs were inscribed on survey stones. The current government has removed them from 77.9 lakh stones, with work ongoing for the rest. Going forward, revenue officials will make regular visits to villages and towns, engage with residents, clarify doubts, and prioritise land-related concerns. The Chief Minister has said that unresolved revenue issues may damage the government's image, while swift resolutions will help build public trust. (News18 Telugu) Regarding land succession, CM Naidu announced that the process can be completed for just Rs. 100 if the inherited land is worth up to Rs. 10 lakh. For land valued above that, succession requires only Rs. 1,000. The Chief Minister has also instructed that village ward staff should be empowered to assist and streamline this process for citizens. (News18 Telugu) A full re-survey of all lands in every village is to be completed by December 2027. Surveyors will remain with the village ward secretariats until the work is done. CM Naidu has further asked for a revised revenue manual to be finalised by August, reflecting new rules and policies. He stated that areas with no revenue issues should be prioritised for regularisation, with the entire process completed by December. (News18 Telugu) The Chief Minister also highlighted that drainage is a pressing concern in the state. The government is prepared to release the necessary funds to address the issue. Plans are in place to install underground drainage systems to tackle the crisis, as open drains and sewage problems have increased mosquito breeding and caused disease outbreaks. Many across Andhra Pradesh have been falling ill with severe fevers, leading to widespread public demand for urgent solutions. (News18 Telugu)

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court's single bench of Justice K Lakshman on Friday directed Terra Rajnikanth Reddy, State Additional Advocate-General to get instructions from the government on its stand whether it will appoint a commission of inquiry to go into the illegal mutation and alienation of the Bhoodan lands (10.17 acres) in survey numbers 194 and 195 at Nagaram village, Maheshwaram mandal of Ranga Reddy district. The judge passed the order, while adjudicating the writ filed by Vadthya Ramulu, who contends that he is the legitimate owner of the lands; they were fraudulently sold by creating fictitious documents. The petitioner's counsel informed the court that he is the owner and possessor of agricultural lands (10.17 acres). Though the lands were gifted to him by his late father Jamala and were registered at SRO Ibrahimpatnam, they were fraudulently sold to Senior IAS and IPS officers, who are influential and got their names mutated in revenue records; also obtained Pattadar passbooks. The counsel said the petitioner had represented to the Chief Secretary, seeking a probe into the issue by constituting a commission of inquiry, but there was no response. Hence, he had filed the petition. He further informed the court that there was another writ (No. 12637/2025) wherein the petitioner was aggrieved by action of officials in Revenue, Registration, CCLA and other departments, who fraudulently alienated the Bhoodan lands to senior IAS and IPS officers and their family members. Earlier, in this writ Justice CV Bhaskar Reddy had restrained the Revenue department from making any further sales of the lands. Justice Lakshman after hearing the counsel for the petitioner and Rajnikanth Reddy directed the HC Registry to tag both writs together for further hearing. He adjourned the petition to July 28.

Centre to issue Aadhaar like unique Id cards to farmers
Karimnagar: The Central government has decided to give a 'Farmer Unique Number' to every farmer in the same way as it has issued an Aadhaar card to every citizen in the country. The Central government has advised farmers to register their names by May 6. For the implementation of the registry programme, agricultural extension officers will visit the respective villages as per a fixed schedule and register the names of farmers. When the AEOs come to the village, either through Meeseva, the farmer will have to log in to the website and register his Aadhaar, Pattadar passbook or by online. Every farmer who has a land will have to enter the details of his land in this farmer registry and link his ownership details with the Aadhaar number, and the Central government will issue a Farmer Unique Number (Farmer ID) based on it. This 11-digit farmer identity card will be useful for the implementation of Central government schemes. The Central government has taken up this project with the intention of completely digitising the agricultural sector. The Agriculture department has asked all farmers to take advantage of it. Only the land ownership details available with the State Revenue department will be taken as standard and issued the unique card. No new ownership rights will be created. The Agriculture department officials have clarified that this farmer registry programme has no connection with the State government's Rythu Bharosa, loan waiver and other schemes. They said that the land ownership details available with the Revenue department are being taken as standard. As per the Central government's instructions, every farmer should provide his details to the local Agriculture officials for a unique card. Dr G Usharani Scientist (Plant Breeding and Head)Agricultural Research Station Karimnagar told The Hands India that the Centre does not have farmer-wise crop details and other information. The solution to all this issue will be provided with a unique identification number, which is why the Modi government has decided to issue a special card to every farmer. Kuppula Sathyarayana farmer, said the farmer Unique ID card will be of great benefit to the farmers. There are no government schemes and the farmer will get the convenience of access and that the Central government will have the opportunity to have complete details of every farmer and agricultural details, which will be of great benefit. Kunarapu Ramesh of Anthargam village in Peddapalli district said that there are many benefits through this code and if the Central and State governments implement them properly, the farmers will benefit a lot. He said that if the farmers are also given the opportunity to sell the harvested grain through this card, it will be of great benefit to the farmers.

Tenant farmers demand CCR cards
Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh Tenant Farmers Association (APTFA) on Wednesday demanded the State government to issue the Crop cultivators Rights Cards (CCRC) to all 32 lakh tenant farmers in the State. The Association leaders said the NDA Coalition government is following in the footsteps of the YSRCP government and neglecting the rights and welfare of the tenant farmers. Association State president Y Radhakrishna and general secretary M Haribabu in a press release said the coalition government seems to sanction only 10 lakh CCRC cards to the tenant farmers. They said the government data revealed that only 450 tenant farmers so far got the CCRC cards against the 70,500 tenant farmers cultivating the lands in Krishna district and it shows the grim reality of tenant farmers. They recalled the TDP and JSP leaders had opposed the policies of the YSRCP government on tenant farmers and assured the tenant farmers that their problems would be solved if they voted to power. Radhakrishna and Haribabu demanded the government to announce their policy very clearly on the tenant farmers and issuing of CCRC cards to all tenant farmers in the state. They said some officials are asking the tenant farmers to get the Aadhar card of the landowner, Pattadar pass book, bank pass book and other documents to issue the Crop Cultivators Rights Cards to the tenant farmers. They said OC tenant farmers are not getting government assistance due to lack of CCRC. They recalled the TDP leaders have assured that all tenant farmers would get the CCRC cards if they voted to power in and even in the Assembly also they spoke to resolve the problems being faced by the tenant farmers in the state but so far, their problems are remain unresolved.
