Mission Basundhara 3.0 to prioritise land pattas for schools and temples: Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that Mission Basundhara 3.0 will prioritise the issuance of land pattas for schools and temples. 

This initiative aims to provide legal land rights to educational and religious institutions, ensuring their security and stability.

Speaking at an event, CM Sarma said, "The state government is set to start Mission Basundhara 3.0 from October 2 with a focus on issuing land pattas for schools and temples. We have many Namghars in our villages which have completed 50-100 years without any land pattas in its name and because of this many legal issues are been faced by its committee."

Mission Basundhara 3.0 will further ease the process of buying and selling of land and end conflicts between families arising out of land boundaries. The name of the landowner will be written on the map. The government will convert the data written by the mandal, circle officer into a map. NOC will not be required in case of purchase and sale of land. Who will get which land will be shared in Mission Bashundhara? After a thorough analysis of the map data, the government will itself distribute the land to its rightful owner.

'Mission Basundhara 3.0' is designed to ease the rules for providing land rights, particularly focusing on Indigenous communities, organizations, and those occupying land without proper rights. A notable feature of this phase is the reservation of revenue villages exclusively for ST (Scheduled Tribes) and SC (Scheduled Castes) communities, ensuring that 100% of inhabitants belonging to these groups are accommodated. This move is expected to facilitate the monetization of properties, enable access to bank loans and other financial facilities, and significantly reduce property-related disputes.

The process for applying under 'Mission Basundhara 3.0' involves selecting the service on the official platform and clicking 'Apply Now,' followed by entering land details, allotment certificate details, applicant details, uploading necessary documents, viewing the application form, accepting the agreement, and finally submitting the application. Applicants can then download the generated Acknowledgement receipt for future reference.
