Department
of Land Reform and Management
|
 |
| |
Before 2057 B.S.,
two separate departments (Department of Land Reform and Department
of Land Revenue) were functioning on the issues of Land Reform
and Management. After the fifth amendment of Land Related Act
in 2057 for the elimination of dual ownership in land, the Land
Reform and Management was established by unifying (i.e. merging)
two separated departments (Department of Land Reform and Department
of Land Revenue) keeping with the objective of providing public
service through one door system. Presently, 83 Land Revenue
Offices and 21 Land Reform Office have been working in districts
level. DOLRM through its wings performs different land reform
and land administration activities with regards to protection
of land rights, collection of land related fees and land registration
in the country. This office is popularly known as Mal Adda or
Malpot office which has passed a long history in Nepalese land
administration. In fact, DOLRM is the arbitrator, safe guarder
for the land ownership and tenancy rights and also administrator
for the land management. The only one development program running
under this department is Land Revenue Records Security and Strengthening
Program.
