Official West Bengal land reforms app
JOMIR TOTHYA is a free-to-use utility from the West Bengal government. This government app is designed to help citizens access live data about lands, titles, and the fees and processes required. With industry-grade security, trilingual app support, and good use of symbols and icons to help navigation.
With the JOMIR TOTHYA app, the citizens of West Bengal no longer have to personally visit their local government to make inquiries about land ownership and details. Unfortunately, users report frequent instances of the app crashing or freezing when in use. It’s quite similar to the BanglarBhumi WB app.
Check land titles and specifications
To be specific, JOMIR TOTHYA is the official app used by the West Bengal government’s Land and Land Reforms and Refugee Relief and Rehabilitation Department. As such, it focuses on providing relevant information about land properties in the Indian subcontinent. Its Khatian Information section is the digitized Record of Rights, showing ownership details including the family as well as the plot of lands included.
It also features a nifty tool to help landowners make a quick conversion between the LR plot number system and the RS plot number systems through the LR-RS (Hal Sabek) tool. App users could even check out the plot-wise details and fees involved with standard procedures such as plot mutation and conversion. Lastly, you can also find the nearest officers to help you.
To cater to a wide range of users, it supports three languages: English, Bengali, and Devanagari. Still, this app isn’t free from issues, as users report the app being prone to freezing or outright crashing intermittently. While the app is navigable enough, it can still negatively affect the user experience. Other technical issues include the app notifying users of “No Internet Connection,” even when the device is online.
A step in the right direction
Land disputes remain a challenge for most families around the world, and JOMIR TOTHYA is a step in the right direction for the West Bengal government. By allowing citizens to access land records, or use tools that would help them, it adds convenience and a layer of security as locals make preparations to sell, partition, or develop their lands. As an app, though, it could use better optimization.
