As part of administrative management, the state is known as district, taluka and village as administrative unit. As the administrative unit of the taluka, the Chief Revenue Officer (Mamlatdar) is appointed by the State Government under Section-12 of the Land Revenue Act, i.e. the officers appointed under the Land Revenue Act, enacted during the British rule, are appointed with legislative backing. Statutory Position and Powers) is done. In some states the Taluka Mamlatdar is known as Tehsildar. Generally, there are more than 60 villages in a taluk. If we look at the interpretation of the word Mamlatdar, in the Arabic language “MUAMLA” is derived from 'Muamla', which in simple language is called Mamlatdar who solves the case / question. As the head of the taluk, the Mamlatdar is entrusted with multiple functions. In earlier times, the main duties of the Mamlatdar were limited to land revenue and even today the Mamlatdar holds an important position as a focal point for periodic visits to Samavi villages in the taluk and for settlement of revenue issues.

Regarding the duties and powers of the Mamlatdar, the most important functions in the revenue operations in present times are keeping the revenue records up to date and Mutation Entries in the e-Dhara Center since the revenue records have been computerized and now the entries are made online. has been reduced and now the revenue record/entitlement notes are available online, but the lapses that have occurred in the state after the re-survey and on the basis of which the record has been declared certified show many difficulties to the public and especially the farmers to correct the lapses in the record. . In fact, earlier every ten years 7/12 rewriting was done manually and the records were certified due to human error, even today after the resurvey records were certified, no decisions have been taken to improve the area in numerous cases in the state. In this regard the Mamlatdar/DILR needs to update the Suomoto record after verification from the original record in campaign form. In the submissions that have come before me, the share sharing notes of the brothers have been reversed years ago in the right deed, with the names still running in 7/12, after the re survey, the survey numbers of both the brothers have been reversed, there is no change in area. Even though both the brothers do not mind reshuffle, for the last three years the Mamlatdar / D.I.L.R. And at the district level there is a push, but even in such a straightforward matter the hosts have to be bothered. When computerization of revenue records is implemented, if there is any such defect, the mamlatdar is suo moto and remedied by making such notes, but in such cases land survey (DILR, SLR) and Mamlatdar office has to be pushed. Which needs to be resolved. In this way, there is a delay in the name of record verification in the registered documents of agricultural lands online in Idhara Centre. The Idhara Center is like the nervous system of the human body for the public for all transactions of their land. (Nervous System) and the action of the Taluka Mamlatdar as well as the Subordinate Revenue Note Certifying Officers in the matter of noting and certifying the entitlements is most important.

Apart from this the most important role is in enforcement of notifications issued under CrPC and maintenance of law and order in the taluk.
