Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra Mahapatra on Tuesday launched a pilot automated system for land conversion from leasehold to free hold in the Rourkela Municipality Corporation (RMC) area on digital mode.
While complimenting the RMC and the Sundargarh district administration for application of a progressive technological intervention, Mahapatra directed officials to make system more citizen-centric by reducing burden of document compliances at time of submission of applications. He directed to examine the possibilities of substituting affidavits, indemnity, etc., with self-declaration. He also asked to link the system with Jana Seva Kendras and common service centres so that citizens can submit applications from those points. Mahapatra advised to make the provision for online submission of applications and fees from individual computers so that people can do it from their home itself. The launching event was attended by Revenue and Disaster Management Principal Secretary Bishnupada Sethi and Sundargarh Collector Nikhil Pavan Kalyan.
