Telangana government to launch land survey in 413 villages lacking maps, records
HYDERABAD : As a prelude to implementing the Bhu Bharati Act , which envisions a comprehensive land survey across Telangana , the state govt has initiated steps to survey 413 villages that currently lack proper village maps and sethwars, the foundational land record documents. Remarkably, several villages, such as Laxmapur in Mudu Chintalapally of Medchal Malkajgiri district, have no formal land records or village maps. In some cases, multiple maps exist for a single village, leaving officials uncertain about their authenticity. Sethwars are detailed records that provide information about each survey number, including land area, ownership, and other critical data. They form the backbone of land administration. To streamline and modernise land records, revenue minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy recently announced a pilot land survey in five selected villages: Salarnagar in Gandeed mandal, Mahbubnagar district, Kommanapally in Bheerpur mandal, Jagtial district, Mulugumada in Errupalem mandal, Khammam district, Nooguru in Venkatapuram mandal in Mulugu district and Shahidnagar in Vatpally mandal, Sangareddy district. "Based on the outcome of the pilot survey, the remaining 413 villages will be taken up in phases," the minister said. He added that the initiative will eventually be extended to the entire state, aiming for a complete overhaul of land mapping and records. To ensure accuracy and transparency, the govt will adopt a dual methodology—aerial (drone-based) surveys and ground truthing techniques. The data collected will be used to prepare geo-referenced cadastral maps, alongside updated land ownership records, sources said. The govt has roped in survey and geospatial firms like RV Associates, Marvel Geo Spatial Solutions Pvt Ltd, IIC Technologies, NeoGeo, and Drogo Drones to carry out the project. Revenue department officials said that the pilot survey will be completed within the next two to three months. Following its evaluation, the state will finalise a policy for the full-scale survey and select the most appropriate technologies for widespread implementation. Given the scale of the project, estimated to cost hundreds of crores, the govt also plans to explore financial assistance under various state and central schemes, sources said.

Re-survey in 413 villages with Nizam-era land records: Minister Ponguleti
To find a permanent solution to land-related issues in the State, the government has decided to re-survey 413 villages that have outdated Nizam-era nakshas (land maps). A pilot project will be launched in five villages of these 413 using modern technology, including drone surveys and geo-referencing, said Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy. In a statement here on Sunday, he added that the pilot villages selected for the project are Salar Nagar of Gandeed mandal in Mahabubnagar district, Kommanapalli (new) of Beerpur mandal in Jagtial district, Mulugumada of Yerrupalem mandal in Khammam district, Nuguru of Venkatapuram mandal in Mulugu district, and Shahid Nagar of Vatpally mandal in Sangareddy district. The re-survey aims to bring clarity to land ownership, resolve disputes and provide transparency in land records. The government plans to expand the project to the remaining villages based on the results of the pilot project. Minister Srinivas Reddy criticised the BRS government for not addressing the issue in these villages where the records were not updated since the Nizam era despite being in power for 10 years. He assured that the present government is committed to resolving land issues using modern technology. The re-survey will involve preparing geo-referenced cadastral maps and rights registration documents. The government has selected experienced companies to conduct the survey, which is expected to benefit farmers and landowners. He said that the government had chosen survey agencies — RV Associates, Marvel Geo Spatial, IIC Technologies, Neo Geo and Drogo Drone — for this re-survey project. He added that the survey would be taken up in the remaining village after completing it in these five villages.
