Andhra Pradesh, like many Indian states, is a rich concoction of cultures, religious practices, traditions, beliefs and ethnicity. Ethnic tribesmen and urban citizens live in perfect harmony and you will see natives coming together, celebrating festivals like Ugadi (Telugu New Year), Makar Sankranti, Ram Navami, Maha Shivratri, Dasara and Diwali.The Capital, Guntur: See 9 traveller reviews, 38 user photos and best deals for The Capital, ranked 2 of 56 Guntur hotels, rated 4.5 of 5 at Tripadvisor.The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet has given its nod for establishing the capital between Vijayawada and Guntur. The decision came after a five-hour long meeting held Monday.
It is the seventh-largest state by area covering an area of 162,975 km 2 (62,925 sq mi) and tenth-most populous state with 49,386,799 inhabitants.Sivaramakrishnan Committee has opposed the Vijayawada-Guntur stretch stating that it could cause ecological problems as vast stretches of land are still under cultivation which would be converted into a concrete jungle. Instead, the committee has suggested that the capital city be built in sections in several areas utilising available government and waste land. The committee has not suggested any particular location to develop it as a capital but has outlined the pros and cons of at least eight locations, including Martur and Vinukonda, both of which are about 55 km from Guntur town. The Cabinet also decided that in case of any problems related to acquisition of land in some areas in the Vijayawada-Guntur stretch, the government would look for alternative sites in Nuzvedu in Krishna district, 42 km away from Vijayawada.Andhra Pradesh Capital Region is the most populated metropolitan area in the state of Andhra Pradesh and 8th in India. Entire region is under the jurisdiction of Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority, and covers an area of 8,603 km 2 (3,322 sq mi) under 58 mandals, of which 29 are in Krishna district and 29 in Guntur district.Meanwhile, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has asked his Cabinet colleagues not to make any statements in public about the capital while informing them that the state capital would be established according to the Cabinets decision. Suggestions and recommendations made by the Sivaramakrishnan Committee also came up for discussion during the Cabinet meeting and several ministers are learnt to have opined that certain suggestions could be used by the government while establishing the new capital city.At a time when Amaravati farmers-locals led and opposition TDP-supported agitation is going on to retain the area in Guntur as the sole mega capital of Andhra Pradesh as envisioned by former chief.Visakhapatnam is the largest commercial hub in Andhra Pradesh, hence it was chosen as the executive capital.

But unlike in the case of bitcoin, the blockchain utilised by the government agency in charge of shaping Amaravati is private.So, despite the promise on paper, local landowners and farmers remain convinced that there’s no escaping red tape and corruption yet. This has the potential to reduce, if not entirely prevent, property fraud. Data is solidified and the transaction history of a property is fully trackable. “With this new technology, we knew there would be full security, no double registrations, no duplicates.”In theory, blockchain can store land documents in a tamper-proof, secure network, reducing human interventions and adding more transparency. The records are generated and sent automatically to the registration office,” said Rao, clad in an orange-and-black lungi and a crisp white shirt. It essentially serves as a book-keeping tool that can be accessed by all but is owned by none.“Now we don’t have the headache of hiring a document writer to prepare our papers.
Andhra Pradesh Capital Free Kind Of
So much so that the distortion created by large-scale corruption and inefficiency in India’s land markets has shaved 1.3% off the country’s GDP every year, according to consulting firm McKinsey.“We want to give a very clear, risk-free kind of title to the farmers,” said Cherukuri Sreedhar, Commissioner of the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority, the agency responsible for designing and building Amaravati. Even digital land records are vulnerable to manipulation by government authorities and fraudsters. Yet, ownership and acquisition remain incredibly acrimonious, frequently stalling even the most well-resourced projects, and often leading to violence and death.So, led by chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Andhra Pradesh decided to use blockchain to avoid the minefield – reams of badly maintained paper records, exposed to damage, decay, and tampering – that India’s byzantine land-record system can be. Across the country, highways, government buildings, and industrial townships have risen on such collated property. Thus, the quest for a new capital.Mostly an expanse of tomato, banana, and okra fields today, with colourful two-storeyed houses sprinkled across small villages, the plan is to turn Amaravati into a state-of-the-art smart city, complete with a hyperloop route connecting it to Vijayawada, the nearest big town, 40 km away.Land in the region, low on industrial development, first began to be pooled in December 2014.The idea of such pooling is not new in India.

The CRDA claims that digital literacy across Amaravati’s villages is high with at least one family member acquainted with the use of mobile phones and internet.“They don’t have any doubt about blockchain really,” said BL Chennakesava Rao, CRDA’s director of land issues, who works in Thullur. “All of those dangers go away (with blockchain).”The information is also accessible to all landowners online through the CRDA’s website or the MyAmaravati app, where they can log in securely with their Aadhaar number. They write programs to manipulate data and delete traces of how it was manipulated,” said Babu Munagala, co-founder and CEO of Zebi. An audit trail log is erased by a hacker or an insider. We’ve seen instances of this happening in government departments all over the world.
“Now there is accuracy and correctness, secure documents.
