More farmers are set to get the benefit of regularisation of government lands being unauthorisedly cultivated, as the Legislative Assembly on Thursday adopted a Bill seeking to extend the cut-off date for regularisation under the bagair hukum scheme.
The Karnataka Land Revenue (Amendment) Bill, piloted by Revenue Minister Kagodu Thimmappa, seeks to extend the cut-off date for regularisation from April 14,1990 to January 1, 2005. Similarly, the Bill seeks to extend the deadline for applying for regularisation by a year.
However, the Bill has imposed certain restrictions. The land proposed to be regularised should not be located within a radius of 18 km of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) limits, 10 km of other city corporation limits in the State, 5 km of city municipal councils, and 3 km of town municipal councils and town panchayats.
The Assembly also adopted the Amity University Bill to provide for establishment of a private university by the Ritnand Balved Education Foundation of New Delhi.
Other Bills adopted
The Bengaluru Dr. B.R. Ambedkar School of Economics University Bill, 2018 was adopted in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday to develop the institute as a university.
It will be developed as an institution of excellence in the areas of economics and other social sciences in the State, as the existing institutions have not been able to meet the increasing complexity of growth and development in these subjects. An expenditure of ₹250 crore is expected to be incurred by the institute in 2018-19.
The government also adopted the Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence Bill, 2018 to set up a university by Prashanti Balamandira Trust, Chickballapur. The private university will focus on degree, postgraduate and doctoral degree courses in all social and natural sciences.
