Boundaries of individual agriculture fields being determined under the project
The determination of boundaries of individual agriculture fields under the WebLand project of the State government got under way on Saturday at Palsi (B) village in Talamadugu mandal.
Adilabad Revenue Divisional Officer A. Sudhakar Reddy, Assistant Director, Land Survey and Settlements, A. Inesh, Talamadugu Tahsildar M. Rajeshwar Reddy, District In-charge of the National Informatics Centre A. Rakesh and others started the WebLand pilot project by demarcating boundaries in survey number 9 in the village which has an extent of 11.4 acres of agriculture land.
The RDO told The Hindu that all lands, the records of which are seeded with Aadhaar number, will be digitally mapped using Google Maps so that the extent of land of respective farmers could be properly fixed in the given survey numbers.
“The idea is to have 31 columns in a pahani on one side and the map of the extent concerned on the reverse side,” Mr. Rakesh explained.
According to Mr. Sudhakar Reddy, Adilabad stood first in the State in terms of Aadhaar seeding with land records and the achievement stood at 57 per cent.
While Adilabad Revenue Division achieved 75 per cent seeding,
Talamadugu mandal stood first in the State with over 82 per cent of the land records being seeded with Aadhaar number, he added.
