G.O. (Ms.) No. 131, Creation of Programmer and Assistant Programmer Posts, 2016
The Government of Tamil Nadu Revenue Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 131, dated 8 March 2016, creating one Programmer post and one Assistant Programmer post in the Commissionerate of Land Reforms by surrendering four Assistant posts. The document is an internal staffing and expenditure decision and does not change land ownership, land ceiling or property transaction requirements.
Purpose
The Government of Tamil Nadu Revenue Department approved two information technology posts for the Commissionerate of Land Reforms. The approval followed earlier computerisation measures under which programmers had been engaged at headquarters and data entry operators had been engaged in district offices on a contract basis.
The staffing decision addresses technical programming work in the Office of the Commissioner of Land Reforms. It does not introduce any requirement for landowners, buyers or applicants dealing with land reform offices.

G.O. (Ms.) No. 131, dated 8 March 2016, makes the following changes:

The District Collectors concerned were directed to disband those posts, and the relevant Treasury Officers were instructed not to admit further claims against them after the government order was issued.
