Punjab government will appoint 1,000 new patwaris to strengthen land records, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said the state will hire 1,000 patwaris in the coming months to bolster the efficiency of land‑record management.
Patwaris, who maintain village‑level land and revenue data, are crucial for accurate property registration and tax collection.
The recruitment drive will be conducted through the Punjab Public Service Commission, with eligibility limited to candidates holding a graduate degree and passing a written exam and interview.
Officials expect the new appointments to reduce backlogs in land‑record updates and improve service delivery to farmers and property owners.
The government has set a target to complete the hiring process by the end of the fiscal year, after which the selected patwaris will undergo a short training program before deployment.
