Jammu, May 14: Despite incessant thrust of Union government to expedite completion of digitalisation of revenue records, the PDP-BJP coalition government seems least bothered to complete the process within stipulated time.
Sources informed Early Times that under Digital India Land Record Modernization Programme (DILRMP), the nodal agency of Jammu and Kashmir Land Record Modernization Agency (JaKLaRMA) had started the digitalization of revenue records in financial year 2015-16 and announced that the project of digitalisation would be completed in three phase by March 2022.
"In first phase or pilot phase the twin capital cities Jammu and Kashmir would be covered and digitalisation process would be completed in February, 2018 but ironically after lapse of three month from its deadline, the project is still incomplete", informed sources while wishing anonymity.
As per the official data available with Early Times reveals that against the target of 666.49 Lakhs of scanning of revenue documents, the nodal agency has succeeded only to complete only 25 percent target of scanning revenue document whereas rest of yet to be scanned.
Besides, against the set target of 7,000 installation of Ground Control Points (GCPs) at districts level, the agency has completed the installation of 4594 GCPs in 18 districts and 35 percent (2,406 GCPs) still not installed by the nodal agency so far.
However, the coalition government had announced that ten districts including Poonch, Ramban, Baramulla, Anantnag, Kargil, Udhampur, Leh, Doda, Bandipora and Rajouri would be carried out for digitalisation in second phase and remaining 10 districts would be covered under third phase which is scheduled to be started by April 2020 to March 2022 but due to inordinate delay on part of nodal agency, the project has become a still distant dream. |
