Question

Why do you think land records are kept at village and Mandal levels? What are the important functions of these persons?

Answer 1

Instructions:

• Importance of land records at Mandal levels
• Functions of Mandal Revenue Officers

Solution:
All the land across the country is measured and
this information is kept in the offices of Mandal. These documents are extremely useful, as they help in settling disputes and providing clear information and tracking encroachment of land within the Mandal. It is the responsibility of the Village Revenue Officer and Mandal Revenue Officer to keep track of these records of the land.
Important functions of Mandal Officers.

1. Keeping detailed records of maps of the land showing land owned by different people, showing crops, tanks, drainages, wells, neighbouring plots, roads, hillocks, and so on.
2. Providing information in writing about the land for official matters such as buying and selling of land.
3. Keeping records of the forests or uncultivated grazing lands. So that if someone encroaches into these lands, they can be evicted.
4. Updating and issuing ration cards.
