e-Dhara: Computerize Land records

Name of the project: e-Dhara

Department under which the project was taken: Revenue Department, Government of Gujarat, India


Vision:
To enable access and maintenance of Village Land Records in an Easy, Transparent and Secure manner.
Project Description:


After digitizing all land records, e-Dhara Kendras(e-DK) have been setup at Taluka Mamlatdar offices to take up day to day activities of land records such as mutations and issue of Record of Rights (RoR).  Workflow based software (BhuLekh Soft) has been implemented since 2004-2005.
By Integrating BhuLekh Soft with the e Gram Vishwa Gram (eGVG) project, that provides broadband connectivity through VSAT to village Panchayats, farmers can get RoR copies from the Village Panchayat itself.While Talati / Village Computer Entrepreneur (VCE) posts the request on the RoR portal, Deputy Mamlatdar, (e-DK) would process the RoR and upload it on to the Central server so that the print out is taken at the village. Since Jan 2006, RoR@Village has been operational in 2279 villages of 166 Talukas and the facility has been expanding with the availability of broadband under eGVG project.



BhuLekh Soft has good MIS capabilities. The data can be queried for mutation application, entry status, tenure statistics, land use statistics, land type statistics, tenant details, crop details, irrigation details, the agriculture census and other details. It is also searchable by Khatedar name, khata number, survey number, farm name and so on. FIFO has been introduced on different stages of mutation within Bhulekh Software.



 Benefits Accrued:

  • Helped to create an e-Governance environment in rural areas
  • Computerized copies of RoR available to farmers and landowners by paying a nominal fee
  • Workflow established to for mutation request process
  • Created a new source of revenue records, apart from the talati.

  • Used MIS data in land reforms and future planning
  • Now, reducing efforts of other stakeholders to validate and use land records
