ULPIN Pin is a special land parcel identification number issued by the government:
Within a year, the central government plans to grant a 14-digit identification number to each piece of land in India.
Highlights:
♦ It would then, on a voluntary basis, merge its land records database with income court records, bank records, and Aadhaar numbers.
♦ In 2021, ten states will implement the Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN) system.
♦ It will be promoted across India in March 2022
♦ This number will uniquely identify each land under investigation and prevent land fraud, particularly in rural India, as it is referred to as "the Aadhaar for land."
♦ The plot`s longitude and latitude will be used to classify it, as well as detailed surveys and geo-referenced cadastral maps.
♦ This is the next step in the "Digital Indian Land Record Modernization Program" (DILRMP), which began in 2008 and has increased in scale many times.
Military Farms - Indian Army Has Closed Them:
The Indian army`s military farm was closed on March 31 after 132 years of service. The military farm was built to provide sanitary milk to the entire British Indian garrison.
Highlights:
♦ Both farm officials and staff have been redeployed within the ministry to continue to provide services to the company now that the military farm has been closed.
♦ Several plans have been made in the past to close the farm.
♦ The Quarter Master General division suggested closing in 2012.
♦ In December 2016, the DB Shekatkar (retd) Committee recommended that the farm be closed once more.
♦ On February 1, 1889, the first military farm was built in Allahabad.
♦ 30,000 cattle were added to 130 farms across India after independence.
♦ Also farms were established in Leh and Kargil in the 1990s.
♦ These farms have produced 35 million litres of milk and 25,000 tonnes of hay per year for over a century.
♦ The farm must be located far away from the city, so a farm is needed.
♦ With the growth of cities, cantonments have expanded into towns, and milk is increasingly purchased on the open market.
♦ People have also uncovered numerous allegations of corruption involving the farm over the years. One of the reasons for the farm`s closure is because of this.
♦ The farm was also celebrated for pioneering artificial insemination technology for cattle and establishing an organised dairy industry in India.
♦ These farms provided Yeoman-style services during the 1971 War, supplying milk to the Northern Command on the front lines of the Western and Eastern War and during Operation Kargil.
