The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) on Thursday completed a significant milestone in its land compensation program. A total of 41 returnable plots were allotted to 23 farmers from Undavalli, who had previously surrendered their land for the construction of the vital Seed Access Road in Amaravati.
The entire allotment process was conducted at the APCRDA office in Rayapudi. To maintain absolute transparency, officials first performed a trial run of the online randomization system. Once the technical systems were verified, a live e-lottery was conducted in the presence of the participating farmers to finalize the beneficiaries.
Breakdown of Allotments
The distribution includes a mix of property types to cater to different needs: 26 residential plots and 15 commercial plots. This strategic mix ensures that farmers have options for both living and potential livelihood generation through commercial use.
The use of digital lottery systems in land allotment significantly minimizes human intervention and builds public trust in large-scale infrastructure projects.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that the success of the Amaravati capital project hinges on the seamless integration of infrastructure development and social equity. By providing returnable plots instead of mere monetary compensation, the APCRDA is ensuring long-term asset security for the local farming community, thereby reducing potential litigation and social unrest.
Kollabattula Karthik, APCRDA Additional Commissioner, handed over the provisional allotment certificates to the winners. He urged the beneficiaries to expedite the registration process and assured them that GIS personnel and village surveyors would be deployed to assist in identifying the exact geographical locations of their new holdings.
