Recently Cabinet of which State Government has approved
mission ‘Lal Lakir’?
ନିକଟରେ ଯେଉଁ କ୍ୟାବିନେଟ୍ ରାଜ୍ୟ ସରକାର ଅନୁମୋଦନ କରିଛନ୍ତି
ମିଶନ ‘ଲାଲ ଲାକିର’?

A. Madhya Pradesh
B. Punjab 
C. Haryana
D. Uttar Pradesh

Recently Cabinet of the Government of Punjab has approved the mission ‘Lal Lakir’.
The Punjab Cabinet recently approved the implementation of mission ‘Lal Lakir’ aimed at
facilitating villagers to monetize property rights and availing benefits provided by the government
departments, institutions, and banks in all villages across the state.

As no record of rights is available for such properties within the ‘Lal Lakir’, the same cannot
currently, be monetized as per the real value of the property and no mortgages can be created on
such properties.
There are households within the ‘Lal Lakir’, which do not own property other than the areas
within the ‘Lal Lakir’, and are thus at a disadvantage when it comes to monetizing or realizing
the real value of the property, according to a government statement.

‘Lal Lakir’ refers to land that is part of the village ‘Abadi (habitation) and is used for non-agriculture purposes only.
Under the mission, the right of record of properties within ‘Lal Lakir’ in the villages of the state
will be prepared with the cooperation of the government of India under the SVAMITVA (Survey
of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas) scheme. It will go a long
way in improving the living standard of villagers and boosting their self-esteem.
