To make the land related records modern and accurate in Bihar, the state government is continuously doing special land survey work. In this series, Deputy Chief Minister cum Revenue and Land Reforms Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha held a high-level review meeting in his Patna office on Monday.
In the meeting, Vijay Kumar Sinha took detailed information about the progress of the survey work going on in all the districts and gave clear instructions that this entire work should be completed within the stipulated time limit.
Bihar is conducting special land survey in two phases
Vijay Sinha told that special land survey is going on in two phases in Bihar. The first phase started from September 2020, under which survey work is going on in 5,657 Mauzas in 89 circles of 20 districts. He said that in this phase, survey of 961 villages has been completed so far and the final rights records of these villages have also been published. In the remaining villages, work is in the final stages and is progressing rapidly. After this, the second phase was started from August 2024, in which a special survey is being conducted in 37,384 villages in 448 zones of 18 districts.
List of 10 Panchayats should be prepared in every district – Deputy Chief Minister
Comparing both the phases, the Deputy Chief Minister said that many districts have performed well, but there is a need to increase the pace in some places. In the meeting, he also instructed the officials to prepare a list of those 10 panchayats in every district where progress is the slowest. Keeping special monitoring on these Panchayats, additional resources and personnel should be deployed there, so that the work can be expedited. He said that accurate and transparent survey of land related records is the top priority of the government, because this will reduce land disputes in future and people will easily get accurate records.
Any kind of negligence will not be tolerated in the survey
Vijay Sinha warned the officials that any kind of negligence in the survey will not be tolerated. He said that this project is directly related to the public interest and it is his personal responsibility to get it completed properly and on time. In the meeting, Principal Secretary of Revenue Department CK Anil, Director of Land Records and Measurement Directorate J. Priyadarshini and other senior officers of the department were present. All the officers presented the progress reports of their respective districts and discussed the further action plan.
The government hopes that within the stipulated time frame the entire state will be connected to modern land records, which will provide great convenience to the citizens and the administrative work will also become more transparent and simple.
