Mangaluru, April 6: Social and educational survey vehicle was inaugurated at Circuit House here on Monday April 6th by Revenue Minister of the state Srinivas Prasad.
Speaking on this occasion he said, in order to provide equal social justice for all, the State government has taken this initiative under the motto of ‘sarvarigu sama paalu, sarvarigu sama baalu’. There are 55 questions to be answered during census which are prepared scientifically and intellectually. Let the census be useful to the layman, he said.
Conversing on the formation of new taluks, Srinivas Prasad said, discussions are going on regarding this issue and the proposal has been sent to the state government which is under review.
When queried about alleged corruption and disappearance of files in the revenue department, he said, after I assumed power as revenue minister, several changes have been brought about in the department and 1.62 lakh RTCS were done throughout Kandaya Adalats.
In the past, the documents were handwritten and also there used to be errors. Later the records were computerised. Pilot projects were launched in Tumakuru and Kolar districts, in which a person has to just file the application regarding the corrections in RTC and we will ensure that the corrected RTC reaches the applicant’s address. The applicant need not go to tahsildar or assistant commissioner. Yearly, each district should hold 40 Kandaya Adalats with active participation of village accountants and the DCs.
Census will be held from April 11th to April 30th across the state.
Health and Family Welfare Minister U T Khadar, MLA N A Haris, MLC Ivan D’Souza, were present among others on this occasion.
