UP revenue minister says Karnataka has the best system to manage property records, and his state wants to follow Karnataka’s model
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is so impressed by Karnataka’s initiatives in e-governance—especially in maintaining land records—that he is planning to replicate the system in his state to bring about transparency in administration.
UP revenue minister Ambika Chaudhari said Karnataka had the best system to manage property records. He said that in UP, Noida and Ghaziabad were seeing tremendous development and the government wanted to follow Karnataka’s model of maintaining land records.
He said projects like Bhoomi and Urban Property Ownership Record would help bring about transparency in the system, and this would leave no scope for corruption. He noted that there was a provision in these schemes that people could get text messages for any transaction related to their property, and the information was updated within a short span of time.
The UP minister said he had already visited Tumkur and would visit Mysore on Tuesday to study Karnataka’s model of maintaining land records. He said the UP government would implement such a model in the state within a year. “If we achieve this, we will overtake Karnataka,” he said.
Chaudhari said that besides e-governance, UP was looking to replicate Karnataka’s model of disaster management. He highlighted that Karnataka had developed an advanced weather-forecasting system, which is crucial for disaster management. He said the whole country was appreciative of Karnataka’s efforts in this regard.
He claimed that Akhilesh Yadav and Karnataka chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda were good friends and they had spent quality time together when they were MPs. Moreover, Akhilesh studied in Mysore and this further strengthened the bond between the two.
The Karnataka government is also looking forward to adopting two initiatives of the Uttar Pradesh government. One is about dispute management, where the role of civil courts is minimal. The second initiative that Karnataka is reportedly keen to follow is the law that makes registration of property-inheritance will compulsory. Making a will compulsory is likely to reduce the scope of fraud in event of a person’s death.
