Odisha Government to Reform Land Settlement Policy and Jagannath Temple Act

The Odisha government plans to reform the Uniform Land Settlement Policy, 2023 and amend the Shree Jagannath Temple Act, 1955. Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan announced these changes aim to improve the management of the temple's vast landholdings, estimated at over 60,000 acres across Odisha and other states. The reforms intend to address issues like encroachment, increase revenue for the temple's corpus fund, and provide land rights to poor servitors settled on temple properties.
