Resolve Aadhaar, Khata errors, says director of agriculture
Dilli Rao, director of agriculture said: 'Field-level agriculture officers must be well versed in revenue-related issues to ensure the effective implementation of farmer welfare schemes.' The grievance module for the Annadata Sukhibhava–PM KISAN scheme is scheduled to be released today, according to a statement released by Mr. Dilli Rao on Thursday. To address data inaccuracies that deny eligible farmers benefits, the director emphasised the need for grassroots coordination between agriculture and revenue departments. He pointed out that many cases have emerged where active khata holders have been wrongly disqualified due to Aadhaar mismatches that occurred during Webland 1.0 and 2.0 migrations. These errors, stem from technical or clerical mistakes, are rendering living beneficiaries ineligible under Central and State welfare schemes. Officers must verify such cases on the ground and correct Aadhaar details through the designated modules, followed by rectification in Webland. In another recurring issue, names of deceased khata holders continue to appear in Webland records, either with their own Aadhaar or with incorrect linkage. This has disrupted mutation processes and created obstacles in transferring land titles to legal heirs. Such records must be updated by uploading death certificates and carrying out mutations accordingly, he said. Mr. Dilli Rao further mentioned that notional khatas, which are especially prevalent in Webland 1.0, are causing confusion. These include patta lands not assigned to any khata holder and listed as surplus lands, khatas in the 1 lakh series with missing Aadhaar details, auto-mutation khatas that are misread as notional by field staff, and records showing zero land extent due to technical glitches. All these issues must be addressed systematically with proper verification and documentation. The director also raised concern over lands that were originally allotted to societies but were never mutated into individual names. Such cases are common in districts like Nellore and certain parts of Godavari, where eligible beneficiaries continue to face delays. He recommended a focused survey to identify such plots and initiate individual mutations. Mr. Dilli Rao stated that these issues are widespread across the state and that agriculture officers at the field level must not only understand these challenges in detail but also work in close coordination with the revenue department. He stressed the need for officers to conduct awareness campaigns in villages, educating farmers about common technical errors and ensuring they are equipped to raise and resolve grievances through proper channels.

AP to launch digital crop survey for kharif season
1 2 3 4 V ijayawada: For the first time, the Andhra Pradesh govt is taking up the e-crop digital survey for the Kharif season as part of its broader push to digitise the agriculture sector. The digital crop registration will begin in the first week of July and will be conducted under the supervision of the agriculture department, with technical support from the National Informatics Centre (NIC). This new initiative aims to collect accurate and real-time data on crop cultivation across the state to improve the delivery of farmer welfare schemes. Only cultivable agricultural land will be included in the survey, while non-agricultural and govt lands will be excluded. Farmers are required to register all crops grown on their land, update Aadhaar and mobile numbers, and verify land ownership through Webland or the record of forest rights (RoFR). The survey will also record crop status, classifying land as cultivated, fallow, aquaculture, or non-agricultural. Special attention will be given to perennial horticulture crops like banana, coconut, and mango, which must be freshly geo-tagged and photographed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Start Here - 2025 Top Trend Local network access control Esseps Learn More Undo For the first time, trees and crops along field boundaries and intercropped plantations will also be included.

Survey responsibilities are distributed across officials: mandal agriculture officers will handle agricultural crops, horticulture officers will manage horticultural data, and tahsildars will oversee govt and non-agricultural land entries. Final reviews in special or re-survey cases will be done by assistant directors or district horticulture officers. Under the new secretariat structure, all revenue villages will be mapped to Rythu Seva Kendras for local coordination. Farmers are urged to ensure accurate and complete registration. Although e-KYC is not mandatory, precise data is essential. Strict action will be taken against field staff who fail to ensure proper crop registration. Regular monitoring will be conducted to ensure the survey's success.
