Gurgaon district land record has been computerized and made Online

Chandigarh, April 28-The entire land record of Gurgaon district has been computerized and made on-line. Any person sitting in any part of the world can now see the record of his land in Gurgaon at the click of a mouse on the website www.jamabandi.nic.in. All Jamabandis of Gurgaon district have been put in public domain and are now available online. This was disclosed by Capt Abhimanyu, Revenue Minister, while presiding over the Division Level Review meeting on computerization of land records held at the mini-secretariat in Gurgaon, today. Capt Abhimanyu reviewed the progress of computerization of land records in all six districts of Gurgaon Division and also asked the deputy commissioners about the hardships they faced. He also sought their suggestions on how the work can be completed in a time-bound manner. With their consent, the Revenue Minister gave the target to all districts of Gurgaon Division, other than Gurgaon, to complete computerization and put land records online by June 30, 2016. He appreciated the efforts of Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner, Mr T L Satyaprakash, and his team for achieving the target. He said that he would again review the progress in the first week of July and hoped that it would be a ‘thanks-giving meeting’, not a review meeting. The task of feeding land records in computers and putting them online has been going on for the last 20-25 years but could not be achieved. All DCs and their teams should work hard to complete the task by June 30, 2016. The deadline will not be extended, he added. Asked why they could not achieve the target, majority of the DCs blamed it on the fact that the number of Patwaris was less. On this, Capt Abhimanyu said that 1,000 patwaris would be joining service soon, And, if required, sanction would be given for hiring more staff for completing the task. The state government wants that on filling khasra number of any piece of land, the entire information should be displayed on the screen of a computer or tablet at the click of a mouse. He exhorted all revenue officers to study best practices in land record keeping the world over and adopt them in Haryana. There is no dearth of resources or funds for such tasks as are meant for facilitating the general public, he said. Capt Abhimanyu asked Mr Satyaprakash to share the modus operandi he adopted for fulfilling the target of putting the land record in Gurgaon online, so that others could emulate in their districts. He also asked him to send a study report on this project which he would like to share with other deputy commissioners. The meeting was attended by the Gurgaon Divisional Commissioner, Dr D Suresh, and all DCs along with revenue officers and District Informatics Officers of National informatics Centres in all six districts falling in Gurgaon Division.
