Mee Bhoomi-Mee Hakku Pattadar Passbooks

Andhra Pradesh launched the latest phase of the Mee Bhoomi-Mee Hakku programme on 9 July 2026 in Banaganapalle in Nandyal district. The programme involves the distribution of digitally updated Pattadar Passbooks to farmers and landowners in villages where resurvey has been completed.

Pattadar Passbook

A Pattadar Passbook is an official land record document issued to a landholder in Andhra Pradesh. It contains ownership-related details and is used in land administration, agricultural transactions, and record verification.

Resurvey and Land Records

The resurvey process is a cadastral exercise used to update land boundaries, survey numbers, and ownership records. In Andhra Pradesh, resurvey has been completed in 6,887 villages, and the government plans to distribute about 72.70 lakh error-free Pattadar Passbooks across 9,833 villages by March 2027.

Security Features and Legal Context

The new passbooks include the state emblem and QR codes. These features are used for authentication and to reduce tampering in land records. The Andhra Pradesh government also repealed the Land Titling Act, which had been linked with uncertainty over property ownership.
