A parliamentary select committee has begun examining a landmark amendment to Tripura’s land reforms law, aiming to overhaul the state’s revenue administration.
The select committee, constituted by the Tripura Legislative Assembly, convened to scrutinise the proposed amendment to the state’s land reforms act, described as a landmark step towards modernising revenue processes.
The bill seeks to digitise land records, streamline revenue collection, and introduce transparent mechanisms for land acquisition and redistribution, addressing long‑standing bottlenecks in the administration.
Committee members, comprising senior legislators and officials from the Revenue Department, are expected to submit a report within the next six weeks, after consulting stakeholders including farmers, landowners and legal experts.
If passed, the amendment will align Tripura’s land governance with central initiatives such as the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme, potentially boosting investment and reducing disputes.
