Name of the project:
e-Dhara
Department under which the project was taken:
Revenue Department, Government of Gujarat
Objectives:
The primary
objective
of Computerization of Land
Record
Project was
to achieve Complete Computerization of Land Records across the
state. Elimination of
Manual
Records, computer
controlled
mutation process and self sustainability are the leading objectives of e-Dhara system.
Project
Description:
BhuLekh Soft with RoR@Village feature was then used over the Gujarat
State
Wide Area Network (GSWAN) and Storage
Area Network (SAN) with the e-DKs to
provide services from village panchayats.
Integrating BhuLekh Soft with the Vishwa Gram
project
enabled farmers to get RoR copies from the village panchayat itself. The talati in the village would
post
the request on the intranet
and the Deputy
Mamlatdar in the e-DK would
process
the RoR and upload it to the
SAN. This enabled the talati to
print
it over the intranet in the village. RoR@Village has been operational in 593 villages from 86
talukas starting
from January 2006. It has been decided to
roll out to whole state. RoR@Village concept can be implemented as RoR@anywhere
with private
participation.
BhuLekh Soft has good MIS
capabilities. The data can be queried for mutation application and entry status,
tenure statistics, land use statistics, land type statistics, tenant details,
crop details, irrigation details, the agriculture census and other details. It
is also searchable by khatedar name, khata number, survey number, farm name and
so on.
