AP plans to scrap nativity, residence,
income certificates
Andra
Pradesh government is contemplating the recently launched website Mee Bhoomi,
equipped with digitised land records, as a platform for agriculture related
transactions including sanction of crop loans to eligible farmers. The
government is also planning to scrap certificates pertaining to nativity,
residence and income making Aadhaar as the single source of information about
the citizens.
Chief
Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, who reviewed the performance of the Revenue
department with senior officials on Monday, said the government was exploring
the possibility of abolishing title deeds and pattadar passbooks and replace
them with the details available on Mee Bhoomi portal as authenticated
information of land owners.
The
Revenue department was accordingly directed to complete digitisation of field
measurement book records within nine months. This would enable integration of
land records with satellite maps along with details of the extent of crop
lands.
Referring
to the caste certificates, the Chief Minister instructed the department to
update the pending ones while the field level staff would collect the data from
individual households in case of new ones.
The
data would be uploaded instantly on the Mee Bhoomi portal through the tablets
being provided to the field staff.
Steps were under way to train
VROs, agriculture officers, anganwadi supervisors, ANMs and school headmasters
for the purpose.
The
government would also purchase new electronic total system machines for
surveying lands and this would go a long way in ensuring transparency while the
department, on its part, should engage outsourced persons as surveyors.
The
government was mulling a pulse survey on preparation of the socio-economic
citizen database and the work on the issue was expected to commence in August.
The Chief Minister, who sanctioned Rs. 30 crore for the department to take up
pending works, wanted the officials concerned to check whether the mutation
process could be completed in 10 days.
