E-Survey 2.0 enables farmers to get 7/12 extract online

 

 

 

The Land Records Department’s E-Survey Version 2.0 has been successfully implemented across 351 tehsils in the State, including 62 tehsils in Nagpur division that enables farmers to receive 7/12 extract and ‘C’ copy online. The system has made it easier to resolve disputes and complaints arising from human errors during land measurement, boundary fixation, and land acquisition for various projects. The land measurement process is now being conducted using GIS-based rovers and CORS station networks. Initially, the E-Survey system was introduced as a pilot project in Washim and Nandurbar districts.

 

Due to its high accuracy, the system was later expanded statewide, receiving 1,56,888 E-Survey applications. In the Nagpur division alone, 24,818 farmers applied, out of which more than 51 per cent of applicants received services online. The number of applications received for E-Survey across various districts in Nagpur division includes 8,447 applications in Nagpur district, 4,242 applications in Chandrapur; 2,806 applications in Bhandara; 4,445 applications in Wardha; 3,603 applications in Gondia; and 1,248 applications in Gadchiroli district. Over 51 per cent of the cases have already been resolved.

 

To increase transparency in the Land Records Department, Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister has emphasised the use of online services, prioritising them under the 100-day governance programme. The upgraded E-Survey Version 2.0 is a highly advanced computerised system that allows landowners to apply for land measurement online, pay fees digitally, receive real-time updates via text message, and obtain digitally signed ‘C’ copy and survey maps online. Since the land measurement is conducted using rovers, the coordinates are provided in latitude and longitude format, ensuring precise and accurate mapping. The entire process is integrated with the GIS Online Portal, where applicants can access digitally signed copies of their land maps. This system is expected to significantly reduce land-related disputes and enhance efficiency in the Land Records Department.
