Vijayawada:Ensuring transparent, simplified and people-centric revenue administration and protecting the rights of the poor are the state government's top priority, claimed Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad on Wednesday.
The minister inaugurated the newly constructed Tahsildar office at Uyyuru along with Krishna district collector DK Balaji, joint collector M Naveen and Penamaluru MLA Bode Prasad.
He said the integrated government office complex housing the offices of tahsildar, MPDO, police station and ICDS was mooted during 2014-19 to provide different public services under one roof. Though the project was later stalled, it was completed after the present government assumed office in 2024, at the initiative of MLA Bode Prasad and support from donors.
The minister said the government was addressing grievances received through gram sabhas and revenue conferences, while chief minister Chandrababu Naidu was personally monitoring revenue reforms. He said the statewide re-survey was being implemented transparently, with pattadar passbooks issued only after farmers completed e-KYC and gave their consent.
The government, he said, is simplifying the provisions of Section 22-A by ensuring that only lands involved in court disputes remained on the prohibited list and that landowners would receive prior notice before any inclusion.
Registration services were also being modernised through slot booking, service centres and automation to improve transparency and efficiency.
Satya Prasad reiterated the government's commitment to accelerating Amaravati's development, shaping Visakhapatnam as an IT and aerospace hub, creating 20 lakh jobs and attracting global investments. He said investments worth `23,000 crore had already been secured.
Collector Balaji stressed the need for the state to have modern revenue offices to improve citizen services. He thanked former public representative Sajja Venkateswara Rao for his donation of land for the complex.
MLA Prasad said the government was simultaneously executing several key infrastructure projects across the Penamaluru constituency.
