The department of Revenue and land Reforms has claimed that land digitisation exercise continuing in across the State has approached near completion. The Government is of view that host of problems related with land which often led to law and order issues would be diminished following that.

Informing about this after a review meeting presided by Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Wednesday, Principal Secretary of the Department KK Soan said, “Digitisation work in all circles, except three has been completed and online mutation is being done. Integration work has been completed in all the circles, except four. We have made online payment facility for the land related matters.”

The CM on his part directed the department to complete work in all remaining circles as soon as possible. “He was also particular about the people affected or displaced by land acquisition and their rehabilitation. At the same time, process should be started for ownership of the allotted land under Form 12. All payment should be ensured through e-payment,” said the official.

Soan also said CCTV cameras have been installed in all revenue offices along with completion of 10 out of 31 modern record rooms across the State. New settlement offices have been constructed in Hazaribagh, Dhanbad, Ranchi and Palamu for smooth revenue collection work. Jamshedpur office will be completed by July, said he.

The CM during the review also directed to complete the satellite survey work to be conducted by IIT Roorkee and took stock of the situation about the land transfer for Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor, Shivpur- Kathautia Railway line, Tori-Shivpur New B.G. Railway line and other important projects.

While reviewing performance of IT and e-governance, the CM also stressed over installation of  Wi-Fi and Bharat net facilities in Ranchi, Bokaro, Deoghar, Hazaribagh, Koderma, Ramgarh, and Sahebganj so that the people in rural areas can get information about the programmes and schemes and avail e-governance.

A decision to make ‘CM dashboard’ fully functional was also taken in the meeting. The task has to be completed for latest physical and financial information of the Rural Development Department, Energy Department for transmission purposes, Welfare and Road Construction Departments to begin with.

“Jharkhand innovation lab started by IIM Ahmadabad should be completed within time frame. Also, 24 cyber police stations and one forensic lab would also be setup.
