THE ROLE OF REVENUE & DISASTER MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT

Revenue administration is closely associated with the all

round development of the State and the prosperity of its people.

Land is an important source of livelihood of people and their

shelter. Revenue administration touches individuals and is

concerned with their problems. The activities of the Revenue

Department are not merely confined to solving people’s problems

relating to land; these also include providing land to the landless

and protecting the Government land. This Department shoulders

the responsibility of providing immediate relief to the people

affected by natural calamities such as floods, droughts, cyclones,

hailstorms, earthquakes, fire accidents, etc. It also takes initiatives

for rehabilitation and restoration work.

In the matter of transfer of property, particularly the

transfer of immovable property, the Registration Offices play a key

role in serving people and contributing to the resources of the

State by collecting Registration Fee and Stamp Duty.

Distribution of Government wasteland for agriculture/

homestead purposes, distribution of ceiling surplus land,

prohibition of tribal land alienation, computerisation of Registration

and Tehsil Offices, updating of land records and conversion/

regularisation of pre-1980 forest villages and encroached human

habitations in forest areas, preparation and distribution of Land

Pass Books and formulation of comprehensive rehabilitation and

resettlement policy for displaced persons are a few noteworthy

programmes of this Department. Appropriate steps are being

2

taken to make Revenue Administration more effective and

responsive to the public.

The important activities and achievements of this

Department during the year 2011-2012 are indicated below:

(ii) DROUGHT

Inadequate rainfall during Monsoon -2011 caused drought

situation. This year, the South West Monsoon arrived in Odisha

on 13th of June. During June the rainfall was good i.e. 98.5% of the

long term average. The rainfall in the month of July, however,

recorded a shortfall of 40.3% with uneven and erratic distribution.

In the month of August, the rainfall was deficient by 14% as on

22nd August 2011. The cumulative rainfall in the State from 1st

June to 22nd August 2011 thus accounted for a shortfall of 21.7%.

Out of 314 Blocks in the State, 31 Blocks of 15 districts

received 50% less rainfall of the long term average during crucial

months of July and August, 2011, as a result of which moisture

stress condition was noticed in paddy crops. 113 Blocks received

rainfall between 50%-75% of the long-term average during the

period from 1st June to 22nd August 2011. Similarly, 98 Blocks

received rainfall of 75%-100%. Remaining 72 Blocks received

more rainfall than the long-term average.

As a result of good rainfall in June, broadcasting of paddy

and progress of non-paddy crops was smooth. Paddy seeds were

also sown in nursery bed to take up transplanting operation. But

the rainfall in the month of July was deficient for which

transplanting of paddy and operations like beushaning of

broadcasted paddy, weeding, etc. could not be taken up in most of

the areas. Non-irrigated areas were largely affected due to

deficient rainfall.

6

The situation was reviewed by the Hon’ble Chief Minister,

Odisha in a meeting held on 17th August 2011 in which it was

decided to conduct eye estimation survey of crop damage due to

inadequate rainfall by the officials of Revenue, Agriculture and

Statistics Department jointly.

The State Government took the following measures to save

the standing crops and raise the Rabi crops.

i. Revival of 1,000 defunct Lift Irrigation Points to provide

irrigation for the Rabi Crop and release of Rs.65

ii. Supply of 30,000 Diesel pump sets to the farmers on

subsidized rate by the Agriculture Department.

Blocks and 158 wards under 34 ULBs in 20 districts have

sustained crop loss of 50% and above due to inadequate rainfall.

7

It was decided to provide the following assistance on the

basis of the Final Crop Cutting Experiment Report to the Actual

Cultivators where the crop loss is 50% and above.

1. Agriculture input subsidy to the farmers who had sustained

crop loss of 50% and above as per the norms and

guidelines of SDRF/ NDRF.

2. Conversion of Kharif short term loans to medium term

loans in drought affected areas.

3. 50% remission on cess and land revenue to the farmers of

without levying any interest.

4. Waiver of tuition fees and examination fees from the

students reading in Government and aided Schools and
