As part of the State government’s re-survey project aimed at strengthening land ownership records, District Collector K. Vetriselvi on Friday (January 02, 2026) distributed newly issued Pattadar Passbooks to farmers at the Jogannapalem village secretariat in Gudigunta village of Denduluru mandal.
Addressing the gathering, the Collector said that Pattadar Passbooks embedded with the State Emblem and QR codes are being issued to farmers to ensure transparency, accuracy, and authenticity of land records. She stated that the re-survey initiative is a major step towards providing farmers with reliable and legally valid land ownership documents.
The new passbooks were handed over to land-owning farmers of Gudigunta village through the Revenue Divisional Officer, Eluru, and the village Sarpanch. The Collector interacted with farmers present at the programme and enquired about their land-related issues, assuring them that necessary steps would be taken to address genuine concerns.
Officials explained that the QR code printed on each passbook enables instant online verification of land details, helping farmers access accurate information without difficulty. The Collector emphasised that clear and updated land records would reduce disputes and make processes such as mutations, registrations, and inheritance transfers easier and more transparent.
At Pedapadu mandal, District Joint Collector M.J. Abhishek Gowda distributed 95 newly issued Pattadar Passbooks to farmers of Eedulagunta village at a programme held near the Patamupparru Gram Panchayat. Addressing the gathering, the Joint Collector urged farmers to make effective use of the new passbooks, stating that they represent a key reform to secure land rights permanently and transparently.
He informed that a total of 1,256 Pattadar Passbooks were received in the first phase for the mandal and distribution had begun village-wise. The new passbooks, printed after the completion of the re-survey, are based on accurate Webland data, ensuring error-free records. He said the objective of issuing State Emblem–stamped passbooks is to provide farmers with reliable and permanent land records that would remain valid for future generations.
Mr. Abhishek Gowda noted that the re-survey involved re-establishing land boundaries, correcting records, and conducting village-wise land measurements. Clear land records, he added, would significantly reduce disputes and facilitate easier mutations, registrations, and inheritance transfers. Each passbook carries a QR code, enabling instant online verification of land details.
