Agartala, Sep 9 (ANI): The concept of e-governance is gaining rapid popularity across the country and the northeast is no exception. The Directorate of Land Records and Settlement (DLRS) in Agartala has recently upgraded all land records.
It came as a pleasant shock to Ratan Debbarma from Kachucherra when he applied for his land mutation papers at the directorate and got them on the same day. He never thought that it could be done so quickly and easily. his has become possible through the new service e-jami that is now operational in Tripura.
"I have come from Kamalpur's Kachucherra area. In the circle office it takes lot of time to get land mutation papers, I came to know that in the head office the same thing is done much faster. Today I came by train and applied for it and I have already got the papers," said Debbarma.
"My personal experience is that I had applied yesterday for mutation papers for my land and I received the computerized copy today. Now it is provided within one day, earlier it used to take several months. Obviously time is saved, that which used to take several months is now done in two days. We are happy," added Jupiter Chakma, a local.
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar inaugurated the e-jami services, an online facility for land records on September 3.
This online service will update land records and other allied information on Internet thereby reducing land dispute cases and enhance transparency in the land records maintenance system. he new e-governance project has been developed with financial and technical support from the Centre under the National Land Records Modernization Programme (NLRMP).he major components of this program are computerization of all land records including mutations, digitization of maps, integration of textual and spatial data, survey (or re-survey) of all settlement records including creation of original cadastral records.
"Earlier it used to take lot of time to provide land documents to the applicants, as we had to find them after checking so many documents that had to be signed by higher officials. At present with computerization of land records the public has benefited as we are able to provide the documents very fast and our work has also become easy," said Soma Paul, Official, DLRS.
