For the first time in the country, farmers in Andhra Pradesh can get their pattadar passbooks in 15 minutes flat at the Mee Seva centres by paying a nominal fee of ₹25.
They need not make rounds to the offices of the Revenue Department to get the passbooks that would be printed from the government’s ‘Meebhoomi’ portal.
Launching the passbooks along with National Informatics Centre Director-General Neeta Verma and other officials on Saturday, Chief Minister N. Chanrababu Naidu said Andhra Pradesh stood as the role model in digitisation of its departments under the e-Pragati project, and a stage had been reached where files could be cleared through the mobile phones.
He suggested to the officials to adopt the e-Office-2 architecture, which was yielding impressive results in public governance around the world.
Chief Commissioner of Land Administration Anil Chandra Punetha said the passbooks would be printed on the basis of pattadar authentication, land records’ validation through Webland, Mee Seva operators’ authentication, unique e-pattadar passbook numbers, QR codes, MROs’ digital signatures, and IP addresses.
‘Bhusodak’
He informed Mr. Naidu that an App, ‘Bhusodak’, was developed to verify the land records and the owners’ identity.
The Field Map Book (FMB) digitisation process was in full swing, Mr. Punetha said, adding that so far 39 lakh records had been digitised and digital village plans were being prepared.
