Teams are working at the mouza level, delivering copies, application forms and pamphlets directly. Applications are being registered through OTP verification at the panchayat camps, ensuring transparency in tracking their progress.
The campaign also covers correction of records, digitisation of missing Jamabandi, inheritance transfers and partition transfers.
