  • Reviews Digitisation, Land Records, PM SVAMITVA, JK Samadhan, Public Service Delivery

BUDGAM: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Budgam, Athar Aamir Khan, today chaired a meeting of Revenue Officers at the Conference Hall of the DC Office Complex Budgam to assess tehsil-wise progress on key revenue matters and the delivery of revenue-related services across the district.

The meeting was attended by the Additional Deputy Commissioner Budgam, Assistant Commissioner Revenue Budgam, All SDMs, Collector Land Acquisition Budgam, all Tehsildar’s and other concerned officers. At the outset, the DC reviewed the status of various revenue initiatives being implemented across Budgam district.

He emphasized the need to maintain the pace of work and ensure timely completion of all pending tasks and reforms. During the meeting, the DC was informed that Budgam district comprises 503 revenue villages, each having its own Jamabandi record. These records are being uploaded on the designated portal as part of the ongoing digitisation process aimed at enhancing transparency, accessibility and efficiency in revenue administration.

The DC directed that registers be maintained in every village for recording grievances and objections raised by residents regarding revenue records.  While reviewing the implementation of the online revenue grievance portal, jkzameensudar.jk.gov.in, the DC stressed the importance of prompt disposal of grievances registered by citizens and directed officers to clear all pending cases at the earliest to ensure responsive and citizen-centric service delivery.

The meeting also reviewed the progress achieved under the PM SVAMITVA Scheme and the ongoing process of sub-parcelization of mother maps in the district.  The DC directed concerned officers to complete targets under these initiatives in a time-bound manner and ensure effective coordination at all levels for their successful implementation. He urged officers to continue working with dedication, professionalism and accountability to strengthen public confidence in the Revenue Department. 

The DC also reviewed JK SAMADHAN, and offline and online grievances related to revenue matters. He stressed that all revenue services should be delivered in a transparent, efficient and citizen-friendly manner within the prescribed timelines under the Public Services Guarantee Act (PSGA), ensuring better governance and improved service delivery across Budgam district.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
