Government has initiated a scheme to create a comprehensive and transparent Land Records Management System.
Soon, the 120-year-old Index-II register data meant for keeping historical and time records of all land plots and properties, will be available at a click of computer mouse. This will save time and energy of the citizens who want to check the legal status of a particular land plot or property which they want to purchase.
Highly-placed sources in the state revenue department said, "The state government has initiated an ambitious project of preparing digital record of the last 125 years' data of Index-II registers. All records and documents registered since 1885, running into more than 3 crore pages, have been preserved in handwritten/printed and micro-film format in sub-registrar offices under the control of Inspector General of Registration. As it is archival record, it needs to be preserved for a long time by digitisation.
"Post-1960 data of Index-II registers are available in micro-films, while pre-1960 data are in ledger formats which are still comparatively well-preserved. This task needs to be very accurate as these are legal documents. Therefore, we have put many checks in the process and senior revenue officers are monitoring the project. The initial cost is estimated at Rs2.25 crore. We are hopeful of finishing the work by year-end, or latest before March 2011."
Sources further said, "Digitisation of Index-II registers will be a boon for people, who will be able to access the records with great ease. Initially, we have planned to make this data available at all stamp & registrar offices and thereafter at all mamlatdar offices and Janseva Kendras.''
The government has also initiated a scheme to create a modern, comprehensive and transparent Land Records Management System, to introduce resurvey in entire state and to computerise revenue record, so as to get digitised maps and survey records.
In order to carry out resurvey work in Jamnagar, Patan, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Anand, Sabarkantha, Rajkot and Kutch districts, create modern record rooms and to provide land survey, equipments like electronic total station machine and global positioning machine will be installed in these districts soon, said the sources.
