The state government has announced a significant policy shift aimed at streamlining land administration by adopting a uniform system for land demarcation in promulgated villages in state.
This move is designed to resolve long-standing discrepancies in land records and provide a standardised framework for mapping and measurement.
The decision follows a series of high-level meetings where officials identified the need for a cohesive approach to land surveys. Under the previous system, various villages operated under differing sets of records, some of which dated back decades and did not align with modern geographical data. By implementing the new system, the government intends to modernise the revenue department's database, ensuring that every plot is accurately accounted for.
Relief for land owners
One of the objectives of this initiative is to simplify the process for farmers and land owners. The new system will eliminate the inconsistencies found in promulgated villages. By bringing these villages under a single procedural umbrella, the government aims to reduce the margin of error in boundary disputes. AM
