"Varasat" campaign launched in Uttar Pradesh

The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a special campaign ‘Varasat’ (natural succession) to curb property & land-related disputes in rural areas. This is a first of its kind campaign in the state which aims to put an end the land-related issues in the rural areas and eradicate the exploitation of the villagers over succession rights by land mafias, who generally target disputed properties. The two-month-long special drive will continue till 15th February 2020.

Key Feature of Varasat scheme

Under the arrangements, the villagers will get both online and offline facilities for registering their ‘Varasat’.
For the people who have landed in the village but they are living at some other place, a special counter will be opened at the Tehsil-level where they can apply for the same.

Benefits of the scheme:

People will get proper paper documents for their land property.
They can even avail loans from banks.
It would be helpful in minimising disputes and animosity within families and relatives.
Villagers would also get rid of facing lawsuits, that sometimes trail for generations.
All the information related to such land will be uploaded on the website of the revenue board based on which the progress of the scheme will be reviewed.
