The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet yesterday (9 October) approved digitalisation of land maps, with state power minister Shrikant Sharma saying those were in a very bad condition and needed proper preservation.
The Cabinet, in a meeting presided by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, gave nod to digitalisation of land maps in 70 districts of the state, Sharma said.
Rs 5.21 crore have been made available for the digitisation work, he said, adding the maps will be available online and help check malpractices in a big way.
This will be of a great help to the farmers and others in the state, the minister said.
The cabinet has also decided on one-time settlement of non-performing loans of farmers with cooperative banks, state Health Minister Siddharth Nath Singh said. PTI

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
