The AMMA scheme has taken the Revenue Department closer
to the public, especially the rural populace, who are now getting the
required certifications expeditiously and easily, said Revenue Minister
Thoppu N.D. Venkatachalam.
Participating at a special
AMMA scheme camp here on Friday, Mr. Venkatachalam pointed out that
sections of society had always felt difficult getting the much-needed
Revenue Department certifications as the government machinery required
its own time to deliver them to the applicants.
The trouble for the
unlettered and the semi-literate people in the rural areas, who were
always vulnerable to government procedures, was far greater than those
in the urban sectors.
Seeking to do away with delays
and difficulties, the State government devised the scheme that aimed at
ensuring maximum benefits to rural populace expeditiously. Since its
implementation, the AMMA Scheme had been a hit with the applicants and
the public had come to appreciate speedy disposal of applications by the
Revenue Department, he said.
Noting that the
department was the fulcrum of governance and held the key to development
in almost all spheres, farmers especially were dependant on the
numerous certifications issued by the department regarding pattern of
land holdings.
Mr. Venkatachalam said the scheme had
done away with the perceived glass walls separating the administrations
and the public in more ways than one.
Transport
Minister V. Senthil Balaji said the scheme was a boon to farmers and the
rural people as they could get the department work done at their
doorsteps as regular camps were being held at the panchayat level
throughout the district.
