In Kalahandi it is scheduled to distribute land pass book and pattas to 3.25 lakh farmer families. During the last financial year it had targeted to distribute 1 lakh land pass book and pattas, however, due to the last panchayat elections only 32,000 passbooks could be distributed. It is scheduled to launch a campaign for the distribution of land pass book and pattas in Kalahandi and other parts of the state. Mr Samal said in Kalahandi it has targeted to distribute several acres of land to landless people, by May 2008 however, they expect to fulfil the target by May 2007. Revenue officials have been asked to take it as challenge, he said.
