The UP government is preparing to change the rules for determining land value. Under the new system, the value of the land in question during Chakbandi (land consolidation) will be determined by the circle rate. Previously, officials and staff conducting the consolidation determined the value based on the land's fertility.
To end the current system and prevent arbitrary decisions by land consolidation staff and officials, the government is now establishing a system where farmers can assess the value of their own land.

Circle rates in the districts are determined based on the road network and the land's fertility. A proposal for this change is being prepared by the office of the Consolidation Commissioner, with the new system to be implemented after receiving government approval.
The initiative aims to resolve farmers' complaints that they were paid less for their roadside land while others received more.
Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has directed the Rural Development Department to increase the participation of female mates and persons with disabilities in MGNREGA. So far in the current financial year, employment has been provided to 31,234 female mates and 16,896 persons with disabilities in the state under the MGNREGA scheme.
The Deputy Chief Minister has called for this number to be increased further. In this context, the Commissioner of the Rural Development Department, GS Priyadarshi, has instructed officials to ensure that women are provided with at least 100 days of employment.
