Staff Reporter

“Scheme’s aim will be achieved only when beneficiary enjoys full benefit of land provided”

SANGAREDDY: Collector Piyush Kumar addressing the nodal officers here on Friday at the Zilla Parishad conference hall asked them to speed up the process of providing clear title to the beneficiaries under the Chief Minister and Prime Minister’s package for land distribution. In all 25,000 acres of land has been handed over to the beneficiaries on paper but the boundaries have to be fixed and the land must be handed over physically to the beneficiaries. The Collector told the officers that the aim of the land distribution programme would only be achieved after the beneficiary could enjoy the full benefit of the land provided.

Private surveyors

The Collector told the revenue officers to first fix boundaries to the 400 acres of land so far handed over to the beneficiaries. He told the revenue divisional officers to take the help of private surveyors who should work under the supervision of the government surveyors.

Review progress

The RDOs were also directed to organise divisional-level meeting to review the progress. The tahsildars were asked to prepare annual plans to solve litigations related to government assigned land. They must adopt two villages every month to clear all land related problems in those villages within that time frame.

Rice scheme

Elaborating on the two-rupees rice scheme to be launched in the district from April, he said that all the white card holders would benefit from the programme and 11,000 families would benefit from the Aarogya Sri programme.

Those who fail to receive the cards from ration shops should inform the same to the concerned panchayats.

The Joint collector Ramshankar Nayak was told to rectify snags in the communication systems for speedy exchange of information and direction among all officers. The beneficiaries of Indiramma housing were told to complete the third party verification process and revenue officers were asked to submit proposals for the development of land given to minorities and weaker sections. DRDA Project director Srinivasa Baba, DRO Prakash Kumar, Sangareddy RDO Mrityunjaya, and Siddipet RDO Johnson were also present.

The Collector also announced names of 53 Nodal officers for speedy completion of welfare programmes in the district.
