In a major step, farmers in Amaravati are set to receive returnable plots in a single consolidated cluster covering 20,494 acres. Instead of scattered parcels, the land will be allotted in one location as part of the returnable plots plan.
This decision is expected to reduce infrastructure and development costs. It will also speed up layout approvals and execution. Faster planning will help authorities complete works more efficiently.
The move will allow quicker handover of returnable plots to farmers. Consolidated land parcels ensure better usability and improved urban planning outcomes. It also avoids fragmentation issues seen earlier.
The decision is being viewed as farmer friendly and growth oriented. It aims to accelerate Amaravati's capital development while protecting landowners' interests under LPS 2.0.
Under the scheme, farmers receive returnable plots along with pensions, loans, and other benefits in exchange for land. The idea is to make farmers active partners in the capital's development.
The government plans to build a well planned capital city through voluntary land contributions. This model is considered a unique initiative in India and a key part of Amaravati's long term vision.
