Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Friday launched a pilot project to make land registrations easier in the state.

Under the 'My Deed' NGDRS (National Generic Document Registration System), citizens could submit all the documents online and get the land registration done in just one visit to the office concerned, saving time and effort, according to an official statement.

The project has been launched in Bilaspur Sadar tehsil of Bilaspur district, Dalhousie tehsil of Chamba district, Galore tehsil of Hamirpur district, Jaisinghpur tehsil of Kangra district, Bhuntar tehsil of Kullu district, Padhar tehsil of Mandi district, Kumarsain tehsil of Shimla district, Rajgarh tehsil of Sirmaur district, Kandaghat tehsil of Solan district and Bangana tehsil of Una district, the statement said.

Along with this, the chief minister also launched the new format of Jamabandi, e-Roznamcha Vakyati, and Karguzari initiatives to improve the revenue department's functioning and make the process more people-friendly.

The format of the Jamabandi has been made simpler, in easy Hindi. Old languages like Urdu, Arabic and Farsi have been removed so that common people can easily understand the land records.

The e-Roznamcha Vakyati will help patwaris to keep a digital record of daily events, while Karguzari will be used to mark daily attendance online. Tehsildars will also be able to keep better track of the work being done. An online mutation register will also be linked soon.
