License to poultry farms in Grampanchayats

POULTRY FORMS LICENSE IN GRAMPANCHAYATS

Number of readers of this blog are requesting to provide guidelines for construction of Poultry forms in grampanchayat, the government not issued any kind of instructions either with regards to permission or in connection with issue of license to start the poultry form in the villages, under Panchayat Raj,1994. Only House tax was exempted with a proviso mention under clause (c) of sub-section (1) of Section 61 of Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj, 1994.

According to this proviso only House tax was exempted from levy of house Tax on Poultry sheds and it's annexes. But, as far as my knowledge no instruction were issued with regards permission or on license, to the Poultry sheds in the 1994 Act, the Government might be in view of that Poultry activities does not come under dangerous and offensive trades while making Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, there poultry was ignored in the Act, 1994 and no instruction were issued in this regard by the government till to date (by the time of writing this article) However in the Grampanchayat Act, 1964, it was stated, the then government that the Poultry activities also comes under dangerous and offensive activities and issued instruction for granting license to poultry sheds in the Gram Panchayats. However the boath the acts, ether 1964 or 1994, as well as rules issued thereunder, were not exempted from taking permission of the Grampanchayat, while commencing construction work.

Rules issued under Section 121 of Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, vide G.O.Ms.No.67 dated 1-05-2002, have superseded, the Andhra Pradesh Grampanchayat Building Rules ,1972 issued vide G.O.Ms.No. 377 Panchayat Raj Department (S.II) dated 12-10-1973. But Rules issued under Section 119 and 120 of Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 with regards grant of license and levy of license fee vide G.O.Ms.No. 16 Panchayat Raj, Rural Development & Relief (Pts.III) department dated 10-01-1996, has not superseded the guidelines in G.O.Ms.No.748 Panchayat Raj department, dated 4/07/1978, issued under Grampanchayat Act,1964. Therefore the guidelines issued in the G.O. 748 shall be inforce unless until the said rules were superseded by any other order. Therefore the said G.O. is here by posted in this blog.
