*4562. MS. NUSRAT SEHER ABBASI: Will the Minister for Revenue be pleased to state:-
Definition/detail of LARMIS alongwith detail of its benefits?
ANSWER
JAM MEHTAB HUSSAIN DAHAR, Minister for Revenue:
Definition of LARMIS:
LARMIS stands for “Land Administration and Revenue Management Information System”. It is a project initiated by the Government of Sindh in Reforms Wing of the Board of Revenue Sindh with the objectives to develop a computerized database of all revenue records and transactions taking place in all Departments of the Board of Revenue Sindh. It also aims at developing a customized software for the system which may enable the B.O.R administration to exercise better control and be able to generate variety of reports and analyzing and updating the data, with specific emphasis on ownership title and land utilization.
DETAILS OF LARMIS PROJECT:
i. The Project namely Computerization & Establishment of Land Administration & Revenue Management Information System (LARMIS) was approved as an ADP ongoing Scheme in ADP 2008-2009 with initial estimated cost of Rs. 921.812 Million, duly approved by PDWP. Finance Department has released Rs. 100.00 million for FY 2009-10 and allocated Rs. 40 M for 2010-11. The project formally started in 2nd Qtr of 2009-10.
ii. Following specific objectives will be achieved through this project:
a. Maintenance of Record of Rights (Ownership Title) through Electronic Documentation,
b. Computerization and Generation of all Revenue/Village Forms, Taluka Forms and District Forms;
c. Execution of efficient mutation process,
d. Database to provide means for effective planning and accurate taxation,
e. Database to provide reliable mode of information to help resolve land dispute as well as making provision for a real-time updating of record,
f. Improvement in Land Record service delivery and transparency,
g. Sharing of information electronically among the all stakeholders and provision of prescribed information on website,
h. Support agriculture credit system and provide investment opportunities to Banking Sector,
i. Development of a Customized Software and a database (LARMIS) linked with the land GIS and its integration with the digitizing of land cadastre under directorate of survey & settlement to meet the requirement of all districts with specific emphasis on ownership title,
j. Institutional Development and Capacity Building, of Revenue officers/officials under HRD plan and create public awareness.
iii. The following strategy plan has been devised to execute the Program:
1. Phase-I, System Study Phase and Integrated Pilot: It is envisaged that the outsourcing Consultant, after having System Study Phase, would carryout a representative integrated pilot in Karachi, in 12-18 months, having full features of the entire scheme including but not limited to LARMIS, GIS, and interfaces with Registration Units. BOR has selected ex-District Malir and parts of ex-District South (City Survey Areas) for carrying out an integrated pilot. Areas falling in other land controlling agencies (other than BOR/GOS) e.g. Cantonments, DHA, KPT etc shall also be accounted for in the land database.
2. Expansion/Implementation Strategy beyond pilot: After the completion of an integrated pilot, the BOR would enter in next phase of implementation. Outcomes under Pilot would determine parameters for future strategy of BOR as regards implementation and phasing strategy of LARMIS. Nonetheless, efforts would be made to accomplish the task within 03-04 years.
iv. A Project Management Unit, under direct supervision of Member (R&S) and Senior Member, BOR, has been established which is responsible for planning, coordination, and implementation of the larger project of computerization of land records and establishment of a comprehensive and exhaustive database of land record in Sindh as well as to keep it synchronized with other two important projects of Establishing GIS and Preservation of revenue record & Revamping of Survey Settlement department.
v. The District Government concerned at District level and the R&S Wing B.O.R Sindh at the Provincial level would be responsible for operation and maintenance of the Project.
BENEFITS OF THE LARMIS PROJECT:
Complex manual record keeping system has developed inaccuracies over the time resulting in difficulties in obtaining land title, cumbersome mutation process, inaccessibility of record to the stakeholders, land owners, Banks, judicial offices, etc. and delay in the disposal of land based disputes resolutions and civil litigations. LARMIS Project once executed is expected to yield the following benefits for the Revenue administration system:
This project is mandated to develop an exhaustive database of the whole revenue and land record, covering its ownership, utilization information, tax assessment & collection and issuance of fardi, ghat wadh and mutations in all the districts in Sindh. Such database to be connected with all the 121 taluka cells (Information Kiosks), 23 district cells and the main servers at Provincial HQ of BoR. This database is to act as the backbone for the GIS component developed separately.
· The proposed system aims to establish a one window operation in revenue administration, as any applicant will be moving his application for issuance of any certificate or recording any change in the record of right, through information kiosk established in every Taluka all over Sindh. A web based system would enable a common man or a farmer having access to required information without any hassle. The system would also have the provision to cater to the need of Banks and Courts in adjudicating matters raised before it in litigations as these would be able to get the verification of all record by having the required access to the database.
· The transparency so introduced would alleviate the monopoly and restriction over land & revenue information and reduce the occurrences of encroachment over government land and property. The facilitation to Banks would help genuine farmers obtain loans against verifiable collaterals. The rural community in general would benefit from the proposed computerization more as it would enhance the authenticity of their land asset records, which would help alleviate rural poverty with an improved access of financial resources to the community through financial institutions.
