The Bihar government is working at a rapid pace to complete a land survey across the state. This land survey has been ongoing for the past two years, but now efforts have been intensified to finish it. It is said that the need for this land survey in Bihar arose because it was observed that land disputes were one of the major reason behind many criminal incidents. The Bihar government believes that once this survey is completed, 95% of land-related disputes may be reduced.
The Bihar government is using technologies like GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping to correct land records. Additionally, the government is updating these records only after gathering input from local residents. The most important part of this process is the Gram Sabha (village assembly). With the help of these Gram Sabhas, the land documents of local people are being examined. After a 22-level verification process, the real owner of the land will be identified and the records will be updated accordingly.
Why was this survey needed?
In a Gram Sabha held in Navgachia, Bhagalpur district, the officer in charge of the Settlement Office, Kumar Kundan Lal, explained the importance of this survey to NDTV. He mentioned that villagers are aware that the “Khatiyan” is their primary document for land ownership. In many parts of Bihar, the Khatiyan being used dates back to 1910, while in some areas, it is from the 1970s and 1980s. As these documents become outdated, multiple claims over the same land arise, especially as families divide into smaller units. When their names are not on the Khatiyan, disputes start, leading to conflicts over land ownership.
The state government has decided to create a new Khatiyan (land record) to reduce disputes. The goal of this entire process is not only to decrease land-related conflicts but also to digitalize land records. After this survey, the new Khatiyan will be available both on paper and online. Whether it’s making changes to the Khasra (land register), modifying plot details, adjusting the area, or updating the map, everything will now be done online.
Under this survey, the current and actual owner of the land will first be identified, and then all related information will be updated and uploaded on the Bihar government’s website. This means that after the survey is completed, anyone will be able to view their land records online.
Land owners will be given 1 year time to submit their Document
One year will be given to submit documents People who do not have the necessary documents for their land will be given one year to submit them under this survey. It is said that the government could complete this survey within the next year. So, if someone is missing important documents like genealogy or other land-related papers, they can go to their block office within the next year to get those documents prepared.
