Land Conflict Summary

The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC)) has proposed to set up a Mega Food Park in Mallavalli Village in Krishna District at a cost of INR 125.25 crore. The Food Park was approved by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India, under its Mega Food Park Scheme on December 12, 2015. The Centre has approved a grant of INR 50 crore for this project.
Initially, the project was proposed to be located in Thotapalli village in Agiripalli mandal and for this purpose, land up to 460 acres were to be transferred in favour of the APIIC in January 2016 at INR 6 lakhs per acre. However, industrialists found the area unsuitable for the food park due to its high altitude and unfavourable terrain. The project was then relocated to Mallavalli village.
In Mallavalli, the district collector requested farmers to transfer land up to 1406.06 acres. In a government order (GO) dated October 25, 2016, it is noted that out of the 1406.06 acres, 1306.06 acres is “under encroachment of _sivai jamadars_”. Under the Andhra Pradesh Land Allotment Policy, 2011, _sivai jamadars _have been cultivating the land for a long period and whose land ownership is confirmed in the state government records, especially in the Adangal accounts (village-level revenue records). They demand that as legal owners of land, they should be entitled to compensation. As per the GO, the survey identified 490 such _jamadars _on 716.44 acres.
Farmers in Mallavalli village have stated that the revenue department is not following the specified guidelines of the GO, which directed that compensation should be paid to all the people whose lands were taken, irrespective of their tenure of occupation of the land. "The revenue department has restricted the limit to three acres of land for paying compensation to a farmer. Those who own more than three acres were denied compensation for the surplus land. The list of identified beneficiaries prepared by the government authority included names of those who were not eligible for compensation, according to a farmer in the village. Nearly 250 farmers were denied compensation and lost their land which they had owned for at least 30-40 years," the farmer said.
In 2017, APIIC Junior Engineer K. Sriranganath said the government has acquired 1,260 acres of land in Mallavalli for establishing industries. The Mega Food Park will be established on 100 acres of land for which work has already begun, and the remaining land will be used to set up other industries, he said. As for protests, he stated that work has been going on in the 100 acres demarcated for the park without any obstacles.
In October 2019, the APIIC invited tenders for the food park. Land Conflict Watch tried to get in touch with the vice chairman of the APIIC and the zonal manager of Vijaywada area of the APIIC on April 10, 2020, to ask whether compensation has been paid or not. Neither of them responded.
