The ambitious development of the State capital region, Amaravati, has received a significant uplift as farmers from Undavalli and Penumaka villages have voluntarily come forward, generously contributing a total of 40.25 acres under the Amaravati Land Pooling Scheme (LPS).
This invaluable land parcel is particularly crucial for the completion of the long-delayed Seed Access Road. Construction on this vital artery began nearly a decade ago, connecting Thullur to Undavalli. To link this main road seamlessly with the National Highway, additional land is required beyond the recent voluntary contributions. The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) is actively exploring options, including further land pooling or acquisition, to secure the remaining plots.
Officials confirm that 22 farmers from Undavalli generously offered 12 acres, while 14 farmers from Penumaka contributed 28.25 acres. These agreements were successfully finalized after productive discussions spearheaded by APCRDA Commissioner K. Kannababu.
Commissioner Kannababu’s direct engagement with the farming communities proved exceptionally fruitful, signaling a renewed wave of confidence among landowners regarding the capital region’s development trajectory. On Thursday, APCRDA officials highlighted this positive shift, with Mr. Kannababu and Additional Commissioner Bhargav Teja extending profound gratitude to the farmers of both villages for their outstanding voluntary cooperation and unwavering trust in the government’s long-term vision for Amaravati.
Bolstered by this community support, the APCRDA has now accelerated efforts on several pivotal infrastructure projects. These include the Amaravati Seed Access Road, the Kondaveeti Vagu flood management structures, and various other essential arterial roads, all designed to fast-track the core development of the burgeoning capital city.
