Revenue Minister Byre Gowda took officers to task for not entering crop loss details of farmers in FRUITS software. He gave them 10 days to rectify the mistake and praised the speedy disposal of disputes. He asked officers to collect info on govt & SC/ST land & use Beat app to monitor encroachment. He also directed them to solve pending cases in High Court in 2 weeks.
Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda on Thursday took officers concerned to task for not entering information about crop loss and details of farmers whose crops have suffered damage due to drought in FRUITS (Farmers Registration and Unified Beneficiary Information System) software and directed them to enter the details in 10 days with a view to ensuring the release of compensation.
He was chairing a meeting of officials in Yadgir.
Mr. Byre Gowda said that “we all have to stand for farmers who have lost their crops owing to severe drought across the State”.
“But, fact shows that you have failed to maintain details in the software,” he said.
According to a survey of 2015-16, there are 2.30 lakh farmers in the district. However, details of only 1.80 lakh farmers have been made available on FRUITS software. Where have the details of the remaining 50,000 farmers gone? he asked.
“The percentage of details of farmers being entered in the software in the district is just 77. The other districts have already crossed 95%. Why should the government be blamed for your mistake? I am giving you 10 days to make amends,” he told them.
Meanwhile, the Minister appreciated the speedy disposal of disputes pending before the courts of Assistant Commissioner and Tahsildars and said that there were 32,710 such cases when the Congress came to power. And, already, 20,519 cases have been disposed of. “This development has benefited litigant public who were faced with trouble in coming to government offices,” he added.
