PATNA, March 21 -- The revenue and land reforms department has directed the officials and staff engaged in special land survey work to intensify the field survey in all 38 districts by completing their daily targets and make assessment, which would be reviewed every 15 days by the deputy chief minister-cum-revenue minister Vijay Kumar Sinha. Though the special land survey work has missed many deadlines, there is now an attempt by the revenue department to complete survey work by 2027 in Bihar. The special land survey is the first major exercise to update land records by field survey of every land holding after a gap of over 100 years. The last cadastral survey was undertaken in Bihar in 1910-1 in the pre-independence era. Officials said the special land survey work has gained momentum in last few months and would be intensified in coming months especially in districts where the second phase of survey work had been undertaken in last couple of years. " We have directed the special assistant settlement officers, amins and kanungoes to intensify the field survey under the special land survey in all districts. Every 15 days there would be review of the work," said a senior revenue department official. He also said that the ongoing strike of the circle officers( COs) and revenue officers ( ROs) has not impacted the ongoing special land survey work as a special team of officers mainly amins and kanuangoes and assistant settlement officers numbering around 10,500 have been specially recruited and assigned the work for the survey. A press statement issued by the revenue department said that a special team has been also set up by the directorate of land records and survey, which would be monitoring the progress of the survey....
