Himanta Biswa Sarma launched the distribution of land pattas to 1,06,905 indigenous landless families and public institutions under Mission Basundhara 3.0 at Deuri Beel, Dhemaji district. The initiative provides digital pattas and allotment letters, aiming to resolve long-standing land disputes transparently.
Forest land rights were also granted to 538 residents of Subansiri and Jiadhal Reserved Forests under the Forest Rights Act, 2006, while unsurveyed villages were brought under the SVAMITVA scheme to extend legal land ownership and institutional credit access.
Mission Basundhara has addressed land grievances of nearly 10 lakh families over five years, including conversion of annual pattas to periodic pattas and granting rights to indigenous communities. Surveys in 769 out of 903 unsurveyed villages have been completed, benefiting over 30,000 families. Mission Basundhara 4.0 and 5.0 will address remaining settlements, while a new Integrated District Commissioner’s Office in Dhemaji enhances governance efficiency.
