Haryana to modernise registration offices on lines of Passport Seva Kendras
Chandigarh, The Haryana government will revamp all registration offices, modelling them after Passport Seva Kendras to strengthen service delivery and boost transparency, a senior official said on Wednesday. Haryana to modernise registration offices on lines of Passport Seva Kendras Financial Commissioner of the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Sumita Misra, said the initiative underscores Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's commitment to simplify property transactions for citizens. She said the initiative will be rolled out in a phased manner, starting with high-density and high-transaction districts such as Panchkula, Gurugram, and Faridabad. She said the transformation is not limited to infrastructure improvements but is part of a broader plan to strengthen service delivery, boost transparency, and increase accountability within the revenue administration. Misra said this new model will include citizen-centric features such as online slot booking, well-equipped waiting areas, real-time digital display systems, and dedicated helpdesks. Signage and information will be made available in local languages to further assist citizens. To address persistent issues of slow server response during registration activities, particularly at sub-divisional and tehsil levels, Misra directed the establishment of two state-level Revenue Data Centres. She directed officers to float tenders for the same within the next 10 days. While reviewing the Haryana Large Scale Mapping Project, Misra instructed officers to complete the 'Tatima' updation across all districts by the end of August, stressing that this exercise is crucial for accurate land demarcation and for facilitating faster and dispute-free registrations. The Tatima Updation Project focuses on the detailed sketching and mapping of land parcels, which is a crucial step toward achieving transparent and accurate land records. These steps are part of the state's broader vision to promote digital governance, improve citizen services, and ensure a corruption-free and transparent property registration system, Misra said. She apprised that till date, 418 out of 440 pilot villages across 22 districts have successfully completed their Tatima updation.

Haryana goes hi-tech, buys 300 rovers for land demarcation
In a major step towards modernizing land record management, the Haryana government has purchased 300 rovers for land demarcation across the state. The move, part of the Haryana Large Scale Mapping Project (HaLSMP), aims to bring precision, transparency, and efficiency to the process of land marking, traditionally reliant on manual methods. The rovers, procured through the Government e-Marketplace (GEM) portal, have been distributed to all districts and will be used by revenue officials to carry out accurate demarcation with the help of a network of 19 Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) set up across Haryana. These GPS-enabled devices replace the centuries-old chain-based measurement method, dating back to the time of Raja Todarmal. The HaLSMP is a collaborative initiative between the Haryana government and the Survey of India, covering approximately 44,212 square kilometres of the state's rural, Abadi Deh, and urban areas. It builds on the Survey of Villages Abadi and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas (SVAMITVA) scheme, and now extends to agricultural lands and properties within Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). To ensure that field staff can effectively use the new technology, a statewide training programme for Patwaris and Kanoongos has been launched. The training, organized by the Survey of India's Geospatial Directorate at Chandigarh, began on April 23, 2025, and will continue till May 17, 2025. A district-wise schedule has been circulated by the Directorate, based on a communication dated April 21, 2025, addressed to the Director Land Records, Haryana. District officials have been instructed to be ready with two sets of fully charged rovers along with CORS User IDs and passwords for the training sessions. Under the new system, land demarcation will be based on satellite imagery, drone surveys, and CORS-based geo-referencing. Updated cadastral maps will be overlaid on satellite data and integrated into the Bhu-Naksha portal, allowing citizens to view and verify land boundaries online. Officials said this would significantly reduce the scope for land disputes, manipulation of records, and dependence on intermediaries. In the first phase of implementation, 22 pilot villages—one from each district—have already completed Tatima (land parcel map) updation. Encouraged by the success, the government has identified 440 additional villages for the next phase. The goal is to achieve statewide Tatima updation and integration onto the Bhu-Naksha portal by 2025-26. The government is also finalizing a uniform fee structure for demarcation using rovers, which will soon be communicated to districts for implementation. Officials said the shift to rover-based digital mapping will not only simplify property transactions and land mutation processes but will also enable easier access to bank credit and government welfare schemes. By making accurate, geo-referenced maps publicly available, Haryana hopes to build citizen trust and modernize its land governance system. 'This initiative will empower field-level officials with modern tools, ensure accountability, and make land management participatory and transparent,' an official said. A rover costs anywhere between INR 6 lakh and INR 10 lakh.
