Over 10k apply for 5,000 licensed surveyor posts; training to begin May 26

Hyderabad, May 19 (UNI) Telangana Revenue, Housing, Information, and Civil Relations Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy has announced that the state government, under the leadership of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, is taking firm steps to provide a permanent solution to land disputes through the creation of accurate and updated land records.

As part of this initiative, the government invited applications for the appointment of 5,000 licensed surveyors to support the implementation of the Land India Act, which mandates the submission of land survey maps for property registration. The response has been overwhelming, with 10,031 applications received by the deadline on May 17.

Reviewing the recruitment process on Monday, Minister Ponguleti instructed officials to finalise all preparations for the training program. Selected candidates will undergo two months of training at the Survey Training Academy (TALIM) in Gachibowli, beginning May 26.

The Minister expressed confidence that the recruitment of licensed surveyors will not only help resolve land-related disputes but also create employment opportunities, especially in rural areas.

Highlighting another key initiative, the Minister announced the launch of a pilot project for the digitisation of village maps through the Telangana Remote Sensing Applications Center (TGRAC).

The process will begin in three villages over the next two days—Lingala in Lingala mandal of Nagarkurnool district, Takkalapalli in Mallial mandal of Jagtial district, and Peddakorukondi in Kallur mandal of Khammam district.

He noted that digital maps will allow easy, remote access to accurate land data, including the size and shape of plots, at a lower cost compared to manual methods. This digitization will improve transparency in government services, speed up the mutation process, and ensure long-term security and easy updating of land records.

The Minister emphasised that these efforts are part of the government’s broader goal to modernise land administration and promote efficient, citizen-friendly governance, an official statement said.
