Srinagar: The Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir, Pandurang K. Pole along with Director General, J&K IMPARD, Saurabh Bhagat today inaugurated a Workshop Series on “Disaster Preparedness, Revenue Courts, Digitization & Other Revenue Matters” here at IMPARD Srinagar.
The Training Series is being organized jointly by Centre for Disaster Management, J&K IMPARD and J&K Government.
During his inaugural address, Div Com informed the participants that Revenue Department is required to implement more laws than all the other departments put together. Therefore, he said, the officers of the Revenue Department need more intensive training.
He shared his experience as Deputy Commissioner while in Maharastra, where it is a routine to conduct 3-day residential Training Courses for Revenue Officers to teach them all Revenue related laws.
He said this training builds their capacity to implement Revenue laws efficiently. He said that an officer deployed in a District should know about his area of jurisdiction and the laws he is required to implement in two months. “This is possible only through intensive training,” he added.
He further said that a training workshop is the best mode of imparting training to officers because an officer learns better through Peer Learning which includes interaction with his compeers through cross-talk. He advised the participants to do intensive cross-talk to benefit from this Training Series to the fullest extent.
The Capacity building Intensive training was attended by 175 revenue officers while equal number of Officers attended through Webcaste mode.
Div Com said that remaining around 3000 Subordinate Revenue Officers from Patwari to Naib Tehsildar have to undergo online Self Certification Course from IMPA Portal in a month.
Director General, J&K IMPARD, while throwing open the Conference, thanked the Divisional Commissioner for his Department’s support in organising this series of Training Events. He also thanked Commissioner Secretary, Revenue Department, Vijay Kumar Bidhuria, who was present in the Workshop online. Besides, he also thanked Aziz Ahmad, the Nodal Officer for the present Workshop.
