The land records’ purification process will be completed in all aspects at the ground level in 42 revenue villages in the district by October 2. Another 35 villages will be completed in Sri Sathya Sai district by that time out of the 965 revenue villages in the undivided Anantapur district.
Three drones - two from private companies and one from the Survey of India - are continuously doing the job with a single drone hovering over close to 10 square km once it flies over a village that has agricultural land, houses, and ‘grama kantham’ (common land).
The process, which began last year at Ramarajupalli in the district on a pilot basis, has been completed in 24 villages with entire data generated from the flying of drones superimposed on the available village Field Measurement Book (FMB) and all errors rectified by involving the persons holding those parcels of land. A similar pilot project was taken up last year in Kothapalli of Somandepalli mandal in Sri Sathya Sai district. These villages are among the 2,000 targeted to be completed all over the State by October 2. Undivided Kurnool district has 919 revenue villages, where this process has begun.
