Haryana is set to launch an automated revenue administration system next month, marking a significant leap toward paperless, citizen-centric governance, under the leadership of Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini. Spearheading the reform drive, Financial Commissioner Revenue & Disaster Management, Dr. Sumita Misra, on Friday chaired a high-level review meeting with Divisional Commissioners & Deputy Commissioners setting the tone for a comprehensive transformation of the state's revenue administration with urgency, accountability and technology at its core.
Dr. Misra directed that nearly 1,900 freshly trained, tech-savvy patwaris be deployed across districts at the earliest, making clear that these digitally skilled officers will serve as the backbone of the new revenue ecosystem complementing the state's technology infrastructure and giving decisive thrust to the automation drive.
She issued firm directions to DCs to immediately clear all cases pending beyond prescribed timelines, with zero tolerance for pendency exceeding five days. Districts have been tasked to eliminate backlogs on a priority basis through continuous monitoring and strict accountability at every level.
On the ground, the 1,900 tech-enabled patwaris will cater critical responsibilities that go to the heart of land governance from Aadhaar integration of land records and updating Lal Dora maps, to accurate land demarcation through rovers, verification of digital data under AgriStack, and speedy resolution of possession-related Khana Kasht cases. Their induction is expected to significantly ease workload pressure, sharpen field-level efficiency.
Dr. Misra directed that pending mutation cases must be cleared close to zero within a fixed timeframe in order to launch auto-mutation in its full spirit. Districts have been told to fast-track approvals at both entry and post-sanction stages without compromising accuracy. On demarcation, rover-based technology is being deployed to close all pending online cases within strict timelines.
The review reflected strong gains in digital governance. The paperless registration system has processed over 3.23 lakh applications, with nearly 84 per cent already approved pointing to faster procedures and reduced human intervention. On land records, around 85 per cent of geo-referenced villages are now on the Bhu-Naksha portal, improving the accuracy and accessibility of land data across the state.
Progress on agricultural digitalisation is equally encouraging. Work on the AgriStack Farmer Registry is advancing steadily with progress, while the Digital Crop Survey has crossed 54 percent completion, strengthening data-driven agricultural planning at scale. Jamabandi updation has reached approximately 86 per cent, with remaining cases being fast-tracked for early disposal.
Special emphasis was laid on Khana Kasht cases, where delays have been flagged at multiple levels. Dr. Misra directed that such cases be handled with utmost diligence following standard procedures and ensuring timely resolution under the close supervision of Divisional Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner. Khana Kasht is a key column in land records, that specifically records the particulars of the cultivator of the land.
The upcoming automation system is set to mark a defining new chapter in Haryana's revenue administration integrating mutation, registration and record management on a single, unified digital platform. Citizens will be able to upload documents online, access records digitally and receive faster approvals, dramatically reducing the need for physical visits and cutting through layers of delay.
A key highlight of the review was the progress under the Yuva Aapda Mitra Scheme, which is strengthening disaster preparedness at the grassroots level. Over 5,000 youth volunteers are being trained and equipped with Emergency Responder Kits (ERKs) and insurance coverage.
Training has been completed in Sonipat and Kurukshetra, while expansion is underway in Gurugram, Faridabad, Nuh, Rewari, Yamunanagar and Panchkula. Districts have been directed to ensure kit distribution and proper documentation in planned programmes which also motivate volunteers.
