When the matter appeared, several Hyderabad Central University students (HCU) started protest. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court took Suo Moto knowledge of trees felling in a forest area, Kancha Gachibowli. This problem was also raised in Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
What is the controversy about?
The KANCHA GACHIBOWLI series can be traced until 2003 under former functional United Andhra Pradesh Chandrababu Naidu.
Recently, several reports claimed that 400 acres of land near Kancha Gachibowli in Hyderabad were collapsed to set up an IT park. According to the PTI plans of the TELANGANY government for the development of IT infrastructure and others on 400 acres of land in Kancha Gachibowli.
The leader of Uohsu quoted the PTI press agency that Tellangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited recently announced the auction of 400 acres of land in Kancha Gachibowli.
The leader of Uohsa said it would lead to the loss of university land and the biodiversity of Hyderabad.
Mint could not verify these statements separately.
The country allegedly includes the mushroom area at the University of Hyderabad, near its eastern campus.
Land ownership: “not forest land”
The TELANGANA government led by Congress claims that the soil is not informed as forest land and is in fact the income ground.
According to PTI, the government says that ground land belonged to it and not Varsity. However, the UAH registrar issued a statement claiming that the boundaries of the controversial land were completed, which is contrary to the government’s claim.
Meanwhile, Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (Tgic) said at the beginning of this week that it has proven its land ownership in court and that the UOH (Central University) does not own any land in the land landing in question.
“The dispute, if existed by land ownership, will be contempt by the court,” he said, adding that revenue records clearly state that the soil is not a forest land, he said.
Is it university land or government land?
Another main problem is the definition between Kancha Gachibowli and Hyderabad University.
What does Telangana Govt say
Tgic said that with the consent of the University of Hyderabad registrar was conducted in July 2024 in the presence of university officials for identifying borders.
“The officials finished the boundaries on the same day,” Tgic said, according to PTI.
According to the intelligence minute, the government noted that income authorities and Tgic ensured that income officials in the presence of the UAH offices conducted a survey to ensure that no one inch of the university land was touched.
Uoh’s answer
However, the UAH stated that in July 2024 no survey was carried out by income bodies in the premises to define 400 acres of land renewed by the state government in 2006.
“The only measures taken so far were the preliminary inspection of the country’s topography,” said the UOH Devesh Nigam registrar.
The university also denied a government statement that it agreed to the definition of land. The registrar stated that he asked the state government to clearly define the land belonging to the university and also maintain the biodiversity in the disputed area.
The official sources that faced the university’s demands have told PTI that there are documents that show that the country in Kancha Gachibowli was handed over to the State Government in 2004.
UAH claims that in 1975 the government of united Andhra Pradesh assigned them 2,324 acres, but in 2022 noted in 2022 that the Supreme Court in Telangana noted that this transfer did not exist.
“Kancha” in Kancha Gachibowli refers to “unproductive soil”, which the state claims to be the income land according to the earliest records, reported.
Students protest
The University of Hyderabad Student Union protests in March after she noticed the deployment of the police and the ground assembly in a country, after which more than 50 students were detained and released later.

Protest explodes: What do protesters demand?

The university students demanded that the TELANGANY government stop the reported auction. They required to withdraw police staff from the campus and remove machines with moving land. Students also condemned the “brutal police intervention” on peace demonstrators.
University of Hyderabad Student Union and other trade unions and associated parties launched an indefinite protest and announced a boycott of classes from 1 April. Since April 1, they are against the proposal for development on the land land on the basis of environmental protection.
In the joint statement of Uohs and the association other students, the university administration accused the “betrayal” of students by facilitating activities for the state of land for the state government on 400 acres in Kancha Gachibowli adjacent to the university.
