Govt to introduce changes in registration processes soon: KCR

After completing rectification of land records, the State government has set its eyes on bringing in “revolutionary changes” in the registration processes avoiding the inconvenience caused to people in taking up land transactions.

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has announced that the new registration system would come into force from June 2, coinciding with the State formation day, wherein the Mandal Revenue Officers will discharge duties of the Sub-registrars. The registration process would be simplified as the government would launch the Dharani website which would have the details of all the lands.

“All that you need to do is to fix up time with the respective MRO for registering the land transaction and the documents will reach the doorstep of the beneficiaries through courier in four to five days,” the Chief Minister said.

The Chief Minister, who formally launched the Rythu Bandhu scheme for providing investment support to farmers at Huzurabad in Karimnagar district on Thursday, utilised the massive public meeting held on the occasion as platform to announce the changes being ushered in in the registration processes.

He said the new system would also ease the burden on the farmers to carry their Pattadar passbooks to banks and mortgage them for obtaining loans. Several changes had been made in the new passbooks being issued to farmers and bankers could verify the details of land owners online for sanctioning loans.

The government had ensured verification of land details pertaining to 2.38 crore acre of which 1.4 crore acre was found to be agriculture land. “The government has decided to give investment support to farmers after several brainstorming sessions spanning several hundreds of hours and the effort had been to streamline the processes on a permanent basis,” he said asserting that the launch of the scheme marked a golden chapter for farmers in the State.

The Chief Minister outlined various steps initiated by his government after the formation of Telangana. “We are number one in State’s Own Revenues pegged at more than 20% and the capital investment at 28%,” he said.

The Chief Minister at the same time cautioned people against the “false propaganda” launched by the Congress which was trying to mislead the people on different issues. “Our government is working tirelessly for the benefit of all sections, but the Congress which was the main cause for the suffering of the people is spreading falsehood against our efforts,” he said.

The Chief Minister said the government had taken the initiative to put in place the inputs required like power and water and the time had come for mounting pressure on the Central government to enhance the minimum support price to farmers produce by at least 25% over the existing MSP.
