The NIC Tripura State Unit is working on an extensive project for overall computerization of land records. The immediate objective of the Project is to hand over an error-free and contemporary khatian to the owner, with a clear option to make necessary changes as and when such changes are called for due to sale, purchase or inheritance. In the long run, this Project will ultimately benefit many government departments concerned with forest, environment, revenue, agriculture, soil survey, conservation, etc. Necessary hardware has already been installed in the Headquarters of the North Tripura District, the first phase pilot district of the Project. Data entry and verification staff, drawn from the Revenue Department of the State Government, have been imparted necessary training. Data entry and verification for creation of the khatian is in progress and sample computerized khatians have been generated. Keeping in view the various aspects of computerization, existing khatians have been examined in detail, and suggestions made to upgrade the format. Necessary examination of the recommended changes, from the legal angle, has been completed, and the Government has agreed in principle to the recommendation of NIC. Care has also been taken to ensure production of khatians which are both durable and handy. Revenue administration being an important area in which maximum utilization of the database created for land records is expected, rationalization of the land revenue structure is another aspect which is to be incorporated in the Project. Then comes the question of making an objective assessment of the amount of land revenue to be collected. A number of MIS reports are also planned to be generated through the software. A package on the transaction of land, either due to sale, mortgage or similar activities, will be integrated in due course.
