Tiruvallur is the first District in the
entire state which has taken up the simultaneous computerisation of both Taluk
Offices and Block Development Offices. All eight Taluk Offices and fourteen
Block Development Offices are equipped with latest advanced Computers along with
peripherals Printer, Uninterrupted Power Supply and Modem. All Taluk Offices and
Block Development Offices are interlinked with Collectorate and District Rural
Development Agency through computer network. The network is designed using
advanced Information Technology methods. It is also proposed to interlink with
the Secretariat directly with Taluk and Block Development Offices, so that CM
Office can retrieve the required information directly accessing the computer of
the concerned Office. Software is Designed and Developed by National Informatics
Centre. All the public related systems will be enabled with Intranet and
Internet access, which enforces the open administration and transparency in
government offices.

Computerisation of Land Records
Land is the habitat of man and its wide use is crucial for economic, social
and environmental advancement of all countries. Although it is part of natural
human heritage, access to land is controlled by ownership patterns. It is
partitioned for administrative ease and used in many ways. More recently, the
need for thoughtful and careful stewardship of land, together with intensive use
and management of its resources, has emerged as a matter of major global
concern.
Access to Land Records is very limited and people are ignorant of the
existing system. Even for simple transfer of ownership from father to his own
son, the process consumes lot of time and energy. Hence, it is high time to go
in for computerization of Land Records.
Land information is vital for making decisions related to land investment,
development and management. It involves making fundamental policy decisions
about the nature and extent of the investments in the land. Land Information
System is giving support to the District Administration by providing information
about the land and its resources.
Why computerization of land records?
In
view of the large volume of data it is becoming extremely difficult to
effectively monitor the transactions and manage the information flow through
conventional manual system. Computer based Land Records Information System is
helpful to:
- Ensure proper maintenance of Land Records
- Furnish copies of Patta (Record of Rights) to the Holders speedily and in
legible form
- Minimize tampering of Land Records and maintain accuracy
- Easy retrieval of records
- Proper updation of records on land transfers.
- Integration of data with Geographical Information System (GIS).
Subjects taken up for computerisation
- Land Holding Details (A-Register)
The land holding details (A-Register) is a permanent register of each
village which is having the details of Survey Number, Subdivision Number, Type
and Category of the Land, Extent of the land, Rate of Cess, Total Cess, Patta
Number, Owners Details and Usage of the land. Survey Department is the
authority for maintenance of this register.
- Land Ownership Details (Chitta)
This is maintained by Village Administrative Officer (VAO). This register
has details such as Patta Number, Land Owner name (Pattadhar), his address and
the Land Survey number.
- Patta Transfer
The transfer of lands can occur in two ways: a. Transferring the
land ownership to another buyer b. Transfer of land ownership to
legal heirs. The name transfer may involve sub divisions in the existing
land area.
- Sub Division Details
Land parcels are basically divided and maintained using Survey Numbers and
its Sub-division Numbers. This occurs when a portion of the land is
transferred to a new owner or to the assignee.
- Changes in Classification
Classification of a particular piece of land is done through settlement.
Due to prevailing conditions, if the authorities feel that it is necessary to
change the classification of land such as Porambokku into Natham, Wet into
Dry, etc., then the changes are carried out accordingly in this
register.
- Land Assignment
Assignment of Government Porambokku (Wasteland), in favour of the eligible
persons either free of cost or on collection of market value is called
Assignment
- Land Acquisition
Compulsory acquisition of any patta land for any public purpose, subject to
the Land Acquisition Act, is called Land Acquisition.
- Land Relinquishments
Giving up of title over any land by the Land Owner in favour of the
Government or Local Bodies is called Relinquishment.
- Land Alienation
Transfer of any Government land in favour of any Government Department or
Local Bodies or Quasi Government organisation is called Land
Alienation.
- Land Encroachment
Encroachment of Government land or land owned by local authority such as
Panchayat, by a person or group of persons is called
Encroachment.
- Land Revenue
It is the tax levied by the State Government for each Fasli year based on
Tharam (Quality) and Classification. Local Cess and Local Surcharge are added
with the basic land tax.
- Land Settlement
Finalization of each Survey Number indicating sort, tharam and
classification of each piece of land and its ownership details.
- Adangal
Adangal is the Village Account No. 2 which is maintained for each Fasli
year by the VAO. It contains details about each piece of land in a particular
village, the crop that is raised and its condition.
The Land Holding Details (A-Register) and Land
Ownership details (Chitta) are the Master Records. The other records are updated
depending on the transactions.
