Rajasthan has been one of the leading states in the country in computerizing its Land Records despite its limited resources, low computer awareness among its people and low literacy rate. The project was initiated in the year 1993-1994 with two districts on pilot basis. It is with cumulative efforts of NIC Rajasthan State Unit, the State Govt. and MRD GOI that Rajasthan is able to step into the next phase of Land Records Computerization i.e., implementing the software at Block Level.
Shifting from District to Block Level also had additional objectives such as distribution of copy of Records of Rights (ROR) to land owners, Mutations Entry, New ROR creation, Crop details entry and report generation etc. As data at Block level is very crucial, it's very necessary that the person who is in-charge of Block Level Bhu-Lekh Computer Centre is well-versed with computer and its peripherals including UPS, software usage and data backups.
To achieve this, NIC Rajasthan has devised a comprehensive training strategy which enables the users to handle the computer centre with minimal help of NIC officials at district. The participating 'Patwaris' are trained extensively in the use of Bhu-Lekh software and other basic computer concepts. A total of 1074 persons have been trained during this training, which spanned over a year at 11 locations.
