Abstract

Land pooling for a state’s development is considered a feasible option where land is exchanged instead of money because this reduces the pressure on the state’s finances. Division of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana brought in an urgency for the government in planning and developing a capital city from the kickoff in a brief time. In order to enable the smooth exchange of land for the development of the capital, the participation of the land donor and other stakeholders is extremely important. This chapter studies the innovative approach to preparing a blueprint of the chief city of Amaravati through a novel approach to land procurement. Land pooling is used as a tool to acquire land for the design of the new capital city while involving the land owners and agrarian laborers in the entire process of inclusive planning. Having donated their land, we must also look at the feedback of the stakeholders. Therefore, this chapter also looks at the satisfaction and participation of landowners and stakeholders of the villages. Out of 24 villages involved in the planning process, this study takes two representative villages, namely Venkatapalem and Nelapadu to assess the satisfactory levels of all the stakeholders. Field studies and a structured questionnaire survey were conducted with the heterogeneous composition of farmers from the various extent of landholding. Other stakeholders such as unemployed youth, agricultural laborers, and Panchayat members were also interviewed. Social sustainability, physical sustainability, and economic sustainability analysis was carried out using the composite indices method. The findings reveal that the satisfactory level of landholders is directly proportional to the extent of land donated. Unemployed youth were more dissatisfied as the process failed to meet their aspirations of employment opportunities. Surprising back up from 24,000 farmers for India’s biggest-ever consensus-based land pooling of 35,000 acres was the reason behind the Amravati’s creation. This study becomes significant in understanding the participatory strategy and will aid in developing a framework for success in new development areas, redevelopment areas, and renewable areas in metropolitan cities and new towns.
