History
The Patwar system was first introduced in
the Indian subcontinent, during the short,
but eventful rule of Sher Shah Suri, and
was further enhanced by Emperor Akbar.
The British colonial era made minor
amendments but maintained the system.
Parth
Patwari or Patel are terms used in South
Asia for a land record officer at sub-
division or Tehsil level. As the lowest state
functionary in the Revenue Collection
system, his job encompasses visiting
agricultural lands and maintaining a record
of ownership and tilling (girdawary). The
Government of India has developed a
software system called Patwary
Information System (PATIS) which was
deployed in at least two districts as of
2005 with deployment at the Tehsil level
underway.[16] Patwary reports to Tehsildar
or a chief clerk of Tehsils land records.[17]
The Government of Punjab (Pakistan) as
well develop a Land Software with the
name of Land Revenue Management
Information System (LRMIS).
