JAMMU, Mar 30: A one-day farmers’ awareness programme was today organized by the Revenue Department as part of the Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav celebrations here at Revenue Training Complex today.
Divisional Commissioner Jammu, Dr. Raghav Langer was the Chief Guest on the occasion. He was accompanied by Deputy Commissioner Jammu, Anshul Garg. A detailed presentation was given by Regional Director Surveys & Land Records, Dr. Mushtaq Ahmad through which the farmers were informed about the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme, (DILRMP) under which, an Integrated Land Information Management System is being developed across the country, which includes geo-mapping of land and digitization of revenue records. The Programme is being implemented by Jammu & Kashmir Land Record Management Agency, JaKLaRMA- a nodal agency of the Revenue Department.
Addressing the farmers, the Divisional Commissioner said that digitization initiative of the government would streamline revenue services and a number of problems which were earlier faced by the public would be eliminated. He informed that half the job of digitization of jamabandis, of 950 revenue villages of Jammu has been done and all Deputy Commissioners have been directed to finish the job at the earliest in the entire division. The Divisional Commissioner informed the gathering that post digitization, all land records would be made available in Hindi and English, in addition to Urdu. He said that the move would facilitate a large section of the public not versed with Urdu.
Further appreciating the initiatives, the Div Com said that public would herald an era of transparency and accountability as anybody from the public would be able to view ones land records from anywhere any time. He added that the phasing out of manual methods in favour of digital devices and satellite imagery would provide increased accuracy in measurement.
