In a major achievement to alleviate land related disputes, Uttar Pradesh has set new records in settling revenue matters through judicious land consolidation process.
In the current financial year 2024-25, land consolidation has been successfully completed in 82 villages across 40 districts.
During the previous fiscal year 2023-24, consolidation was carried out in 781 villages in 74 districts.
Sources said these efforts are helping to resolve longstanding disputes over land boundaries, making way for village development and ensuring that farmers benefit from government schemes.
In addition, the state has held 705 Gram Adalats (village courts) since September 2023. These courts helped resolve 25,523 cases, furthering the government’s commitment to swift and transparent dispute resolution for farmers.
This progress aligns with the directives issued during a meeting in September 2023, where the Yogi Adityanath government directed the consolidation department to focus on resolving land boundary disputes, promoting rural development, ensuring access to government schemes, and freeing government land from encroachments.
Consolidation Commissioner G S Naveen said the CM ordered to get consolidation done to settle the farm related disputes of farmers in a transparent manner.
