Patna, Jan 20: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday announced a special drive to clear all pending land measurement applications in the state by January 31.
The initiative is part of the government’s Saat Nischay-3 (2025-30) programme, under its seventh resolve, ‘Sabka Samman Jeevan Aasan’, which aims to reduce everyday difficulties faced by citizens.
Speaking on X, Kumar said, “These reforms will benefit citizens by making the land measurement process transparent, time bound, and citizen friendly.”
The CM outlined time bound measures to streamline the system:
From April 1, undisputed land measurements will be completed within seven working days of depositing the measurement fee.
Disputed land measurements will be completed within 11 working days.
Survey officials are required to upload the land measurement report online within 14 days of application completion.
Kumar directed the Revenue and Land Reforms Department to allocate necessary manpower, ensure efficient resource deployment, and implement a system for close monitoring of the process.
Public feedback on the measures is invited through official channels by January 25.
The drive is expected to significantly reduce delays, simplify procedures, and enhance the efficiency and transparency of land surveys in Bihar.
