Amaravati, Sep 26 Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to distribute house regularisation pattas to more than 24,000 families in Vijayawada on September 30, granting full ownership rights to beneficiaries of decades-old NTR era house sites under ‘Pedalaku Pattabhishekam’ programme.
Under this initiative, land worth Rs 9,800 crore will be regularised and each beneficiary family will get assets valued up to Rs 45 lakh, said an official press release today.
“Naidu will distribute house regularisation pattas (revenue land record) to 24,057 families in Vijayawada on September 30 providing full ownership rights to beneficiaries,” it said.
As part of ‘Pedalaku Pattabhishekam’ programme, the government will regularise houses built on land covered by NTR-era (former CM NT Rama Rao) house pattas issued decades ago.
The regularisation will cover 617 acres, equivalent of nearly 30 lakh square yards, whose market value is estimated to be Rs 24,297 crore, said the release.
Beneficiaries span across eight Assembly constituencies and 15 mandals in NTR and Krishna districts.
They are from Vijayawada East, Vijayawada West, Vijayawada Central, Gannavaram, Jaggayyapeta, Mylavaram, Nandigama and Tiruvuru constituencies.
A significant number of beneficiaries reside in houses constructed on hill areas within the three Vijayawada city constituencies.
Regularisation is expected to provide the residents with permanent security over their homes and greater certainty for their future.
Residents of the hill areas have been demanding regularisation for decades, stating that legal ownership would provide permanent protection for their houses and property.
The beneficiaries include 12,093 BC families, 6,130 OC families, 4,546 SC families, 955 Muslim BC families and 333 ST families, the press release added.
