History
IT is the fastest growing Industry in the world and keeping in view its demand, the Government of Punjab felt the need to create a department that would be solely responsible for its prosperity through Information Technology. This department would also monitor global opportunities, cater to the growing needs of IT, develop policy alternatives, and plan and rapidly implement initiatives for building an internationally competitive IT industry in the province. As a result of this, Punjab Information Technology Board was formed in 1999 as an autonomous body under the Department of Industries. An Ordinance in this respect was passed by the Governor on March 27th, 1999.
On 15th October 2001, the Information Technology Department was created as an administrative department and it was decided that PITB would work under this department as an autonomous body.After the dissolution of Information Technology Department in 2011, PITB was attached to Planning & Development Department of Punjab.

2. Project Objectives
The higher level objective of the Project is to improve the land records service delivery of the Province of Punjab, contributing to long-lasting tenure security and more efficiently operating markets for land.
3. Project Description The Project will upgrade the land records management system for Punjab Province by revising current business processes and associated legisltation and regulations, establishing Service Centers where land records will be maintained and available to the public in digital form, and establishing linkages between the land records system and the system for registration of deeds. The Project will be implemented by the Board of Revenue of Punjab Province and will have four components. The first component will address improvements in business processes and increased institutional capacity at the provincial, district, and lower administrative levels. The second component will be putting in place the automated land record system, including the applied software. The third component will focus on improved service delivery to the population, and include a set of public outreach activities. The fourth component will be deal with project management, monitoring and evaluation.
4. Project Location and salient physical characteristics relevant to the safeguard analysis
The Project will be implemented throughout Punjab Province. Existing offices of the BOR system at the district and tehsil level, as well as premises located at the kanungo level, will be the physical location of project activity -- where the automated systems will be installed. Some rehabilitation work will be required to meet operating requirements of the computer equipment and to provide adequate client reception areas. Very little new construction work is anticipated.

II. Key Safeguard Policy Issues and Their Management A. Summary of Key Safeguard Issues
1. Describe any safeguard issues and impacts associated with the proposed project. Identify and describe any potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts:
Since the program is expected to have minimal or no adverse environmental impacts it is classified as Category C requiring no further EA action. This classification is the result of the environmental screening based on consultations with the regional environment sector unit (SASES). In accordance with OP 4.01, the screening examined the type, location, sensitivity, and location of the proposed program as well as the nature and magnitude of its potential impacts.
The screening found only minimal potential environmental impacts caused by the program which – on balance – are expected to be positive from an environmental standpoint. The program seeks to establish an improved land records service delivery system in order to reduce litigation and bring about lasting land tenure security. Hence, the proposed program does not directly affect the management of natural resources. However, the improved tenure security would induce behavioral changes among landholders by providing increased incentives for sustainable management of natural resources.
2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area:
By increasing tenure security and making land records readily accessible by the population, the Project is expected to have beneficial long-term impacts on management of natural resources.
3. Describe any project alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts.

ساری دس نمبری تو پٹواری کے پاس ہوتی ہے ، وہیں ایک کی زمین دوسرے کے نام چڑھ جاتی ہے
اور جو آج تک زمینیں ہتھیای جا چکی ہیں ان کا کیا بنے گا ؟
