Haryana’s Financial Commissioner for Revenue and Disaster Management, Dr Sumita Misra, has said that nearly 50,000 property registrations have been successfully completed through the state’s paperless registration system, marking a watershed moment in the transformation of six-decade-old revenue practices.
During a surprise inspection of the Panchkula Tehsil office on Wednesday, Dr Misra disclosed that security-embedded paper would soon be introduced for property registration to further strengthen transparency and authenticity in land records.
Additionally, an auto-mutation facility is set to be launched in the coming days, which will automatically update revenue records immediately after registration, significantly reducing delays and eliminating scope for manual intervention.
Dr Misra stated after reviewing the on-ground functioning of the new system and interacting with both staff and citizens who had come for property registration. Expressing satisfaction with the revenue office’s functioning, the Financial Commissioner appreciated the efforts of officers and staff in smoothly implementing the new system.
She directed revenue officers to provide e-signed copies to applicants on the spot on the applicant’s request so that they do not have to visit the office repeatedly. She assured that feedback received from citizens will be examined and incorporated to further improve the process.
To institutionalise public participation, she said that a dedicated help desk has been established at tehsil offices to systematically record public feedback and promptly address grievances. She further directed all the Deputy Commissioners to send the report regarding help desks.
During her visit, the Financial Commissioner also reviewed the ongoing AgriStack training being conducted at the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Panchkula. She participated in the training session, reviewed the modules and interacted with trainees. She was informed that similar training programmes are underway across all districts of the state.
Dr Misra revealed that Haryana is set to register 1.38 crore farmers under the Farmer Registry (AgriStack) through an OTP-based Aadhaar authentication process, which will be directly linked with the PM-KISAN scheme and other beneficiary schemes. She stressed that registration targets must be met within the stipulated timeframe.
Directing all trainees to take the training seriously, she said the AgriStack work would be carried out on a war footing, as it is a key component of the Prime Minister’s vision for technology-driven governance and farmer-centric services.
“Proper implementation of AgriStack will greatly benefit farmers by ensuring accurate data, efficient service delivery, and better policy planning,” she emphasised.
The Financial Commissioner stated that the surprise inspection and review were aimed at ensuring that reforms at the field level translate into real benefits for citizens, while reinforcing the government’s commitment to transparent, efficient, and technology-enabled administration.
