Computerisation of Land Records
Our State has

and is set to complete the scheme very soon. Out of 171
Tehsils in the State, Computerisation of land records has
been completed in 167 Tehsils and computerised copies of ROR

http://bhulekh.ori.ni.in
The Collectors
concerned of remaining Tehsils have been impressed upon in
the recently held Tehsildars Conference to complete the data
entry work expeditiously and provide the benefit of
computerization to the people.
(ii) Digitisation
of Cadastral Maps
Since computerisation of
Tehsils will lead to correct and update land records, the
corresponding survey map needs to be accurate and modern.
The State Government has decided to prepare and digitise the
maps of all the villages including tribal areas with the
help of GPS (Global Portioning Stations) .
Four Pilot Projects for
computerization of Cadastral Maps namely Koraput, Rayagada,
Salipur, Narsinghpur were undertaken with 100% financial
assistance of Government of India. Kendrapara and Bolagarh
Tehsils were taken up out of funds of Central & State
Government on 50:50 basis. Out of these Six Tehsils,
digitization of cadastral maps has been completed in 5
Tehsils and in Kendrapara Tehsil 99% of work has been
completed.
(iii)
Up-linking of Tehsils with Sub-Division, District and State
Headquarters
The State
Government has initiated up-linking Tehsils with
Sub-Division District and State Headquarters with an
estimated project cost of Rs.636.00 lakh with 100%
Government of India assistance. But due to the stay order of
the Hon'ble High Court, Orissa, implementation of the
project is delayed. However the State Government is working
out the modalities of connectivity as well as trying to make
it operational soon after the stay is vacated.

it as an authoritative document for (i) caste certificates
(ii) SEBC Certificate for educational purposes (iii)
legal heir certificate for limited purposes (iv) Income
certificate (v) Residential Certificate (vi) Identification
of' BPL families and (vii) Farmers Identity card. Besides,
details of each member of the family including Head of the
family, wife, children etc. shall be recorded in the Land
Pass Book to obviate legal heir problems. The programme was
launched with effect from 26.1.06 and is being implemented
successfully allover the State. Tribal people will be
benefited to a great extent by the Land Pass Books. By the
end of March,07 Land Pass Books numbering 9,08,327 have been
distributed among concerned land holders of the State.

Achievement under
Welfare Programmes/ Schemes
(i) (a)
Regulation on Transfer of Land belonging to Scheduled Tribes
in Scheduled Areas of the State:
In order to
control and regulate transfer of immovable properties by the
members of the S.Ts in the Scheduled Areas in the State, the
Regulation 2 of 1956 has been enacted. The Regulation
prohibits, among other things, transfer of immovable
properties belonging to members of STs in favour of persons
not belonging to STs. Any such transfer shall be null and
void, if the same has been made without written permission
of the competent authority. In case any transfer has been
made in contravention to this provision in the regulation,
the competent authority either suo-motu or on a petition
filed on that behalf, shall declare such transfer as illegal
and shall restore the land to the lawful land owner or his/
her heirs. The regulation also provides for eviction of
persons in forcible occupation of the land belonging to
members of STs and restoration thereof. The Regulation
provides for penal action in respect of illegal transfer as
well as unauthorised occupation.
In
spite of such provisions in the Regulation, it has come to
the notice of the Government that large-scale alienation of
tribal land to non-tribals has been made in the scheduled
areas of the State and as such it has become a matter of
great concern for the State Government as well as the
Government of India. To put an end to this problem. In order
to prohibit transfer of ST land to non-STs, the Government
of Orissa have made necessary amendments to the Regulation 2
of 1956, which came into force with effect from 4.9.2002. As
per the amended provisions of the said Regulation, transfer/
alienation of land belonging to STs to persons not belonging
to STs has been completely banned.
