Chandigarh: Joint municipal commissioner Inder Jeet on Thursday directed officials to expedite the NAKSHA pilot project, which aims to digitise land and ownership records in selected village abadi areas. He stressed strict adherence to timelines during a review meeting attended by officials of the state project management unit (SPMU) and junior engineers.
Review of Field Surveys and Timelines
The meeting assessed the progress of field surveys, record preparation, and timelines for the villages of Sarangpur, Attawa, Burail, Kajheri, and Palsora. The civic body instructed survey teams to accelerate pending fieldwork while maintaining accuracy, transparency, and accountability in preparing digital records.
Benefits of the NAKSHA Project
Officials underscored that the project would modernise land record management, create reliable and easily accessible data, and improve service delivery for residents. The need for close coordination among stakeholders was also emphasised to ensure timely completion. The NAKSHA pilot is seen as a key step towards strengthening digital governance in Chandigarh.
This initiative is expected to streamline land administration, reduce disputes, and enhance transparency in property transactions. By digitising records, residents will have easier access to ownership details, reducing the need for physical visits to government offices. The project also aligns with the broader goal of digital transformation in urban governance.
