Naidu Orders Common Portal to Map Andhra Pradesh Government Land
Andhra Pradesh plans to create a shared online list of government-owned land.
Officials will find land that has been unused for many years and add its details to the list.
The information will be arranged by department and district.
This should help the government find land more quickly for new projects.
Officials were told to plan land needs before industrial and development projects are approved.
Budaga Jangams should receive Scheduled Caste benefits while their official status is still being considered.
The government also wants to improve drinking-water supplies and finish approved houses.
It plans to prepare 20 crore seeds and saplings for planting and encourage crops that use less water.
Officials will also discuss creating 905 smart kitchens with the Union Government.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu ordered a Common Land Bank Portal for available government land across Andhra Pradesh.
Officials must identify long-unused departmental land and record it by department and district.
Land requirements for industrial and development projects should be identified before projects are sanctioned.
Budaga Jangams should receive Scheduled Caste benefits while their formal SC-status decision remains pending.
Officials were directed to address water needs, prepare 20 crore seeds and saplings, and pursue 905 smart kitchens.
