Distribution of land rights passbooks to 526 farmers
New land ownership passbooks were also distributed to 526 farmers during the program. This step is being considered an important initiative towards ensuring farmers legal rights over their land.
The government claims that by making land records digital and transparent, farmers will be provided protection from any kind of land dispute in future.
Balanced model of rural and industrial development
These ongoing projects in Puttaparthi are not limited to just industrial development, but are also taking along rural development. On one hand, industries are expanding with huge investments, while on the other hand, attention is also being given to agriculture and water resources.
