Farmers who had contributed land for the development of Amaravati received returnable plots through an e-lottery process conducted at the APCRDA office in Rayapudi. Provisional certificates were distributed to beneficiaries under the Land Pooling Scheme and the Negotiated Settlement Policy. A total of 54 plots were allotted to 18 farmers under the LPS, while 155 additional plots were distributed to farmers from multiple villages. Officials said support would be provided for plot identification and registration. The exercise is part of the continuing implementation of the Amaravati capital city development programme and land return commitments made to participating farmers.
Farmers who had surrendered their lands for the development of Amaravati were allotted returnable plots through an e-lottery process conducted at the APCRDA office in Rayapudi on Wednesday. The allotment was carried out in the presence of farmers from several villages linked to the capital city project. Advertisement
Before the live allotment process began, officials conducted a trial run for both residential and commercial plots using an online randomisation system to ensure transparency in the exercise. APCRDA Special Grade Deputy Collector and Director (Lands) – Capital City, Sri Vasantha Rayudu, later distributed provisional certificates to farmers who received the returnable plots.
Under the Land Pooling Scheme (LPS), 54 plots were allotted to 18 farmers who had earlier contributed their lands for the Amaravati capital region project. Apart from this, 155 returnable plots were distributed to farmers from Kuragallu, Abbarajupalem, Borupalem, Kondamarajupalem, Lingayapalem, Nekkallu, Shakamuru and Ananthavaram villages under the Negotiated Settlement Policy.
Officials said the allotment process forms part of the APCRDA’s ongoing efforts to complete pending land return commitments connected to the capital city development project. Amaravati’s land pooling model, introduced during the initial capital development phase, involved farmers voluntarily contributing agricultural land in exchange for developed residential and commercial returnable plots.
Addressing the farmers during the programme, Sri Vasantha Rayudu urged beneficiaries to complete the registration process at the earliest to avoid delays in documentation and future transactions. He added that GIS department staff and village surveyors would assist farmers in identifying the exact geographical location of the allotted plots on the ground.
The Amaravati project has remained significant for farmers from villages within the capital region, as many continue to await infrastructure development and monetisation opportunities linked to the returned plots. Over the past few years, APCRDA has been carrying out phased allotments and registrations for farmers covered under different settlement and pooling arrangements.
Planning Division Director (FAC) B. Suresh Kumar, Special Deputy Collectors M. Seshi Reddy and P. Padmavathi, along with officials from the Planning and GIS departments, were present during the allotment programme.
