Land purchase and sale begin at 44 Tehsil offices across Odisha

In a major administrative reform aimed at easing land transactions, land purchase and sale in Odisha will take place at the Tehsil offices from now onwards.
 
As per reports, Chief Minister Mohan Majhi inaugurated this new initiative from the third conference hall of Lok Seva Bhawan in Bhubaneswar on Saturday.

Land sale and purchase services will begin in 44 Tehsil offices across the state in the first phase starting from today. The service will be expanded to the remaining 273 Tehsil offices in the next phase.

Citizens can now book a slot online and complete their land registration process directly at their respective Tehsil offices, making the entire system more convenient, transparent, and accessible.

The new administrative reform marks a significant shift from the existing practice of carrying out registrations at sub-registrar or district nodal offices. This will end people’s dependence on nodal offices and eliminate the need to travel to district headquarters.

Earlier, Minister for Revenue and Disaster Management, Suresh Pujari, had said that the reform will empower Tehsildars to execute land-related operations independently.
