G.O. (Ms.) No. 613, Creation of Online Facility for Integrated Land Record, 2021
The Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Survey and Settlement Wing, issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 613 on 1 October 2021, approving a specimen format for an Integrated Land Record for farmers and the public. The order directs the Director of Survey and Settlement to coordinate with the National Informatics Centre to develop the record in TamilNilam by combining existing land and cultivation data.
What the government approved
G.O. (Ms.) No. 613 of the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Survey and Settlement Wing, approves the specimen format for an Integrated Land Record detailed in its annexure. It follows an announcement made by the Minister for Revenue and Disaster Management in the Legislative Assembly on 31 August 2021.
The Director of Survey and Settlement is directed to coordinate with the National Informatics Centre to develop the Integrated Land Record in TamilNilam and to take the necessary further action.
Records to be brought together
The Integrated Land Record is intended to combine information that was being maintained through separate online systems. The source identifies the following records:
- The rural village A Register.
- Chitta and Patta information.
- Field Measurement Sketch records, which had already been digitised and placed online separately.
- Updated cultivation particulars from the electronic Adangal system.
The A Register and Chitta had already been computerised through the web-based TamilNilam system. Extracts of the A Register, Chitta and Patta, along with digitised Field Measurement Sketches, were available through the Anytime Anywhere electronic services. Adangal data had separately been computerised through the Revenue Administration Department's electronic Adangal workflow.
How the online record is intended to work
G.O. (Ms.) No. 613 records that no single document was then available containing the A Register, Chitta, field measurement information and electronic Adangal data. The proposal is for updated cultivation particulars to be shared dynamically from electronic Adangal with TamilNilam.
Once that data sharing is established, the Integrated Land Record can be generated dynamically and published through the Anytime Anywhere electronic services for public download. The order approves development of the facility, but the supplied text does not state when public downloading would begin.
Who may be affected
The Integrated Land Record is intended for farmers, landowners and the general public who need combined land and cultivation information. The order specifically notes that farmers require an integrated document for crop loans, subsidies and various other services. It does not state that the Integrated Land Record replaces the underlying A Register, Chitta, Patta, field measurement or electronic Adangal records.
