Telangana Minister Donates Four Acres for Mini Stadium in Kollapur
On a quiet Wednesday, a four‑acre parcel of land was handed over in a way that feels almost ceremonial—digitally signed, witnessed, and immediately earmarked for a new mini‑stadium that could reshape sports in Kollapur.
Prohibition and Excise Minister Jupally Krishna Rao completed the transfer at the Kodair Tahsildar Office, where the state’s digital login system makes patta (government‑registered) land changes almost instantaneous. The parcel, located at Survey No. 532/A in the Veepanagandla Mandal headquarters, carries a value of roughly ₹1.50 crore and will serve as the foundation for a future sports ground.
The minister, who has represented Kollapur in the Telangana Legislative Assembly for five terms, had long promised local athletes a dedicated facility. In a gesture that echoes his commitment to community development, he signed the deed himself and, through the digital platform, transferred the land from his name to the state.
Witnesses to the transaction included Congress leader Munigonda Gopi and Nagarkurnool District Tourism Officer Kalvarala Narasimha, both of whom signed the documents electronically. Their presence underscored the political and civic significance of the act.
By giving away patta land, Jupally has not only fulfilled a personal pledge but also added a tangible asset to Telangana’s growing sports infrastructure. The four acres are now officially in the hands of the government and are slated for construction of a mini‑stadium that local residents hope will host football, athletics, and other sporting events.
The gesture has been met with gratitude from athletes and community members alike. Many highlighted how a dedicated venue could open doors for under‑privileged youth, offering training opportunities and a stage for regional competitions that were previously unavailable.
Beyond the local impact, the transfer illustrates the increasing use of digital systems in Telangana’s land administration. The Kodair Tahsildar Office’s login platform allows officials to complete patta transfers electronically, cutting down on paperwork and accelerating the allocation of public land for development.
While the exact design or funding plan for the stadium remains undisclosed, the donation represents a concrete step toward expanding sports infrastructure in the state. Telangana’s recent sports policy, aimed at building a medal‑winning ecosystem, provides a backdrop for this project. The mini‑stadium could serve as a model for similar initiatives in other constituencies.
Political observers note that the minister’s action exemplifies how public officials can leverage personal assets to support community projects. It also aligns with the broader trend of state‑level investment in sports facilities that gained momentum after the launch of the Telangana Sports Conclave in 2025.
The land transfer is now complete, and preliminary planning for the stadium’s construction has begun. No official timeline has yet been released for the project’s completion, but local stakeholders anticipate that the facility will become operational within the next few years.
In summary, Jupally Krishna Rao’s donation of four acres of patta land to the state of Telangana marks a significant contribution to sports infrastructure in the Kollapur constituency. The transfer, completed electronically at the Kodair Tahsildar Office with witnesses Munigonda Gopi and Kalvarala Narasimha, provides a foundation for a mini‑stadium that local athletes and residents expect will enhance sporting opportunities for the region.
The project remains in the planning stage, and further updates will be expected from the state’s sports department as construction moves forward.
