राज्य ब्यूरो, पटना। राजस्व एवं भूमि सुधार मंत्री संजय सरावगी ने भूमि सर्वेक्षण का प्रथम चरण जल्द पूरा करने का निर्देश दिया है। शनिवार को पटना में आयोजित समीक्षा बैठक में उन्होंने प्रथम चरण के सर्वेक्षण की धीमी गति पर चिंता जाहिर की।

प्रथम चरण की प्रगति

प्रथम चरण में राज्य के 20 जिलों के 89 अंचलों के 5657 गांवों में भूमि सर्वेक्षण चल रहा है। समीक्षा बैठक में सभी जिलों के बंदोबस्त पदाधिकारी शामिल हुए।

इसमें विभाग के अपर मुख्य सचिव दीपक कुमार सिंह, सचिव जय सिंह एवं निदेशक, भू अभिलेख एवं परिमाप कमलेश कुमार सिंह भी शामिल थे। अपर मुख्य सचिव और सचिव ने प्रत्येक जिले के बंदोबस्त पदाधिकारियों के लिए उनकी सहमति से टारगेट फिक्स किया।

मुख्यालय द्वारा निगरानी

सरावगी ने कहा कि सभी अधिकारी नियमित रूप से विशेष सर्वेक्षण शिविरों के कार्यों का निरीक्षण सुनिश्चित कर रैयतों को हो रही परेशानियों को दूर करें। उन्होंने कहा कि इस कार्य की मॉनिटरिंग मुख्यालय में अधिकारियों की टीम कर रही है। यह टीम फील्ड में आने वाली दिक्कतों को दूर कर रही है।

दूसरे चरण के विशेष सर्वेक्षण के जिलों में स्वघोषणा एवं वंशावली जमा करने में तेजी लाने का निर्देश दिया। उन्होंने कहा कि पूर्वी तथा पश्चिमी चंपारण में रैयतों की ओर से स्वघोषणा एवं वंशावली जमा करने में देरी हो रही है।

उन्होंने पदाधिकारियों को रैयतों के बीच जाकर उन्हें जागरूक कर गति को और तेज करने का निर्देश दिया। उन्होंने कहा कि सर्वे कार्यक्रम में किसी भी पदाधिकारी/कर्मी के विरुद्ध कोई भी गंभीर शिकायत प्राप्त होती है तो उनके विरुद्ध निश्चित रूप से सख्त कार्रवाई की जाएगी।

सुविधाओं में सुधार

अपर मुख्य सचिव ने कहा कि विशेष सर्वेक्षण के दौरान रैयतों की सुविधा में लगातार सुधार किया जा रहा है। सर्वेक्षण के कार्य में लगे पदाधिकारियों का दायित्व है कि नीचे के कर्मियों तक सभी निर्देश पहुंचाने के लिए लगातार उनके साथ बैठक करें।

सचिव जय सिंह ने कहा कि सभी अधिकारी सप्ताह में शिविरों का निरीक्षण सुनिश्चित करें। इससे रैयतों की परेशानी दूर की जा सकेगी।

Indian equities ended the week in the red despite a Friday rebound, with the Nifty and Sensex logging a second straight weekly decline as global markets reeled from a fresh round of tariff blows unleashed by U.S. President Donald Trump. Investors are scrambling for direction amid rising trade tensions, spiking bond yields, and wild cross-asset swings. Amid the chaos, the investing philosophy of legendary fund manager Peter Lynch—who famously ran Fidelity’s Magellan Fund to record-setting returns—is gaining fresh relevance, centered on four questions meant to help investors stay focused and avoid expensive mistakes.Lynch's 1989 classic, One Up on Wall Street, laid out a deceptively simple approach to investing that emphasized clarity, patience, and common sense—qualities in short supply when markets turn manic. Lynch didn’t believe in timing the market. He believed in knowing what you own, and why. That philosophy feels tailor-made for today’s volatile landscape.What do you own—and why do you own it?Lynch believed most investors couldn’t answer this question with any clarity. This week’s volatility was a case study in what happens when conviction gives way to knee-jerk reaction. With hedge funds offloading Treasuries to meet margin calls, and safe-haven trades behaving unpredictably, portfolios need scrutiny.Do your holdings align with your risk tolerance and investment horizon? Are you diversified in substance, not just surface? Lynch warned that owning stocks because “they went up” or because “everyone’s buying tech” was a recipe for regret. The better approach, he wrote, was to think like a business owner—know what each company does, how it makes money, and why it will survive turmoil. That level of clarity can keep portfolios anchored when markets aren’t.Why do you own stocks in the first place?This week offered plenty of reasons not to. Gold hit new highs. Bonds cratered. Trade tensions escalated. But Lynch’s long view is that stocks represent ownership in real businesses—and over time, businesses grow. Short-term panic, he wrote, is often the enemy of long-term success.Investors tend to flee equities during uncertainty, but Lynch argued that was often when the best opportunities emerged. As he put it: “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in the corrections themselves.”What has changed?This question is Lynch’s way of separating signal from noise. Tariff hikes and recession fears are real, and the policy chaos of the past two weeks has rattled markets. But for long-term investors, the key is distinguishing what’s transitory from what’s transformative.Lynch urged investors to avoid overreacting unless the fundamentals had changed. Has a company’s core business model been disrupted? Are customers disappearing? Is debt becoming unmanageable? If not, he suggested, it may be worth staying the course—even if the stock price is tumbling.If you didn’t already own it, would you buy it now?This is Lynch’s reality check—the emotional reset button. It forces investors to drop baggage, stop anchoring to past highs or losses, and ask: Does this still make sense today?Consider a once-beloved stock now trading at a 30% discount. If the company’s outlook remains intact, the lower price could be a gift. But if you wouldn’t buy it today, Lynch said you shouldn’t hold it either. The past can’t be changed—but you control the next move.In One Up on Wall Street, Lynch writes that “the key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.” In a week defined by market whiplash and policy drama, that might be the only line investors need to remember.Also read | 7 Indian stocks that align with Peter Lynch's growth investing strategy(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
