Patwari

A Patwari is a government-appointed officer responsible for maintaining land records and managing land-related transactions in a specific administrative area called a village or a revenue estate. They keep detailed maps, record ownership, and monitor land boundaries, crops, and land use. Patwaris play a key role in verifying land rights, issuing certificates, and assisting in tax collection. Their work helps ensure transparent land management, resolve disputes, and facilitate development. Essentially, they are local land record custodians who help both the government and landowners with accurate and official land documentation.
