The Minister told officials that land records affect livelihoods and must reflect ground reality. He directed survey teams to work closely with landowners and explain each step clearly. Officials must not rush the process or ignore local concerns.

To build trust, the government wants farmers and landowners present during surveys. If a concerned farmer is absent, officials should postpone the exercise and fix another date. The Minister said this approach will reduce disputes and complaints later.

He also asked senior revenue officers to monitor field work regularly and resolve issues on the spot. Any errors found during verification should be corrected immediately, without pushing the burden onto citizens.

Resurvey 2.0 should be error free because it forms the base for future land transactions, welfare schemes, and legal clarity, the Minister said. He added that transparency and public participation remain the government’s top priorities.

The government says Bihar land reforms face delays mainly due to unreadable land papers. Many landowners struggle during mutation, surveys, and ownership verification because officials and citizens cannot understand old records.

Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha said the revenue and land reforms department will train experts in Kaithi script. These experts will help translate old documents at affordable costs. This step will reduce disputes and speed up land-related services.

Several districts still use Kaithi-written documents like khatiyan, land receipts, and settlement papers. Due to this, people often visit offices repeatedly and face legal confusion.

Officials believe the new system will bring transparency and trust. It will also reduce the workload of revenue staff and make services easier for citizens.

The initiative aims to modernize record handling while preserving historical documents. The government expects smoother land surveys and faster case resolution after implementation.

The coalition government has already engaged staff from village secretariats in this mission. Using drone technology, data from nearly 6,000 villages are being collected for 45 lakh properties.

Revenue and Panchayat Raj departments are jointly verifying these measurements. Reports indicate that surveys for over 43 lakh properties are complete.

Once verification is finished, authorities will issue public notices under Section 9(2) to receive objections from citizens. After resolving objections, final ownership records will be announced under Section 13. The verified owners’ lists will be displayed at village secretariats and panchayat offices.

Any required modifications will be made under the supervision of the MRO. The second phase of this massive initiative will begin after March 2026.
