A humble Tribute
Sri Smrajit Ray was Principle Secretary, Social Welfare to the Government of Andhra Pradesh, when tribals of West Godavari and Khammam district picked up the struggle demanding land distribution. |
|
Sri Ray created an enabling environment in consultation with revenue department by issuing guidelines to District Administration to distribute land records right from 1932 to till date and conduct the verification of titles in a participatory process.
The Khammam district administration also followed the suit. The Chief minister office issued a press note on the meeting held with officials. The press note mentions that the chief minister directed the officials to complete the survey process.
Here is a compilation of various papers of government in this regard. Sakti brings out these papers in a booklet form as a humble tribute to Sri S.Ray how left us once for all.
Sri RAJENDRA PRASAD Deputy Editor, The Hindu. Sri Prasad and his team of reporters regularly covered the land rights movement in West Godavari and Khamma districts. Sri Rajendra Prasad also left us once for all. Our homage to the departed soul. |
