Jammu,May 12: Besides digitizing the entire revenue records the Jammu and Kashmir Government has decided to digitize the records at the state repositories under the Directorate of Archives, Archaeology and Museums in the state.
The Government has started the process of assigning the task of computerizing the records. Instructions are being issued to the companies that once given the contract they have to digitize over 15 lakh pages of manuscripts, magazines and books that have been decorating the shelves in the Directorate of Archives and Archaeology.
The Department also plans to digitize records with spatial of resolution of various size documents in the form of CDs and DVDs. The company is to load the digitized pages and images on the server so that anyone could go through the documents and the images on the web.
The digitization programme is to be carried out in the state repositories in Jammu,Srinagar and Leh.
The computerization of revenue records has been started last last year and is expected to be completed within next six to nine months.
Minister for Revenue and Relief,Raman Bhalla,has said that the programme of digitizing land records was taken to prevent junior Revenue officials from tampering with the land records.
He said that he had received reports from various land owners and farmers that land grabbers had succeeded in grabbing portion of their lands with the help of junior Revenue officials who had tampered with the land records.
Bhalla said that after the digitization was completed people could examine the land records at their sweet will. Till date land and farmers were being harassed by the Revenue officials whenever people approached them for securing a copy of their land records. In various cases land records were given only after the owners paid huge sums of money.
The Minister said that the process of issuing land passbooks to farmers was under progress. Once it was completed land owners and farmers were not to undergo inconvenience by visiting the patwar Khanas and other revenue offices for getting a copy of the land records. He said once the Revenue office complexes at the district, tehsil and village level were completed it would result in complete modernization of the activities in the Revenue Department.
