'Ama Gaan Re Ama Tahasil' initiative to bring revenue services to Odisha villages

Bhubaneswar, May 18 (UNI) In a major citizen-centric governance initiative, the Odisha government will soon launch the “Ama Gaan Re Ama Tahasil” (Tahasil at Doorstep) programme to ensure the delivery of key revenue services directly to people in villages and panchayats across the state.
The decision was announced during a high-level review meeting chaired by Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari, who said the programme aims to make revenue administration more accessible, transparent, and responsive by taking Tahasil services to the grassroots level.
As part of the initiative, Tahasil Camp Courts will be organized at the village and Panchayat levels, allowing residents to access essential services without travelling to Tahsil offices. Through these camps, Tahasil officials will visit rural areas directly to address public grievances and provide on-the-spot revenue services such as correction of the Record of Rights (RoR), land demarcation, and other related services.
