Nepal : District land revenue office, Syangja, has started putting land ownership certificates in computers with a view to providing fast and efficient services to the public.
The move is aimed at modernizing the office’s services, reducing the gap between the office and the customers and promoting services based on ICT.
The project assisted by economic counseling unit of the monitoring division of the National Planning Commission, said chief of the office Raju Poudel. He said the information is stored into GIS-based software and Syangja was one among the five districts including Kathmandu and Kaski selected for computerisation of the land revenue offices.
The task of putting the information on landownership has been given to Pokhara-based Skillnet Pvt Ltd. There are 125,000 landowner certificates for around 800,000 plots in Syangja.
The work has begun since a month ago and it will complete within six months, the office said. So far information on 200,000 plots of land has been put into computers. The office has arranged seven computers for the project.
Account chief of the office Ananta Marasini said the computerization of the land information will make the services efficient and it will also ensure the safety of landownership certificates. It will also make the office’s work transparent.
Around 100,000 land ownership certificates were burnt to ashes in a Maoist attack on the office seven years ago. The office has also sped up work to sort out the information that was lost along with the documents during the Maoist attack.
Meanwhile in Tikapur, freed former Kamaiyas have threatened fresh phase-wise agitation if the government did not heed their problems within five days.
A gathering of the former Kamaiyas here on Friday decided to go for the agitation if their demands were not met. Their demands include right to live in where they are currently living, guarantee of employment, and free health and education.
Due to lack of proper rehabilitation, many Kamaiyas have settled in by encroaching upon various forests in Kailali. Some of the land encroached by the former Kamaiyas include land of Tikapur Multiple Campus, Janata Secondary School and Tikapur airport.
Though earlier they had been saying that they encroached the forests and public land to press the government to meet their demands, the former Kamaiyas have now started demanding right to live in the encroached land.
Though the government of Sher Bahadur Deuba liberated the Kamaiya’s some eight years ago, their problem are getting more and more complex by the day due to the lack of timely arrangement for their rehabilitation.
