The Bihar Vishesh Sarvekshan (Special Land Survey) is currently underway across all 38 districts to replace the century-old Cadastral and Revisional surveys with a modern GIS-based Record of Rights. Landowners must actively present their documents to prevent their property from being categorized as disputed or government land.
Every landowner must submit Form-2 (Self-Declaration / Swaghoshna) detailing their plots and Form-3(1) (Vanshavali - genealogical lineage tree). If you live outside Bihar (in Delhi, Mumbai, or overseas), you can upload these documents online via dlrs.bihar.gov.in.
During Kistwar, government amins physically map plot boundaries using aerial imagery and ETS. During Khanapuri, ownership details are entered into the draft Khatiyan. Having your private boundary measured beforehand ensures no neighbor claims your aari during survey mapping.
Failure to participate in survey camps may lead to erroneous entries in the draft Khatiyan, necessitating lengthy formal objections in Form 8 and Form 14.
