I am happy to note that LRIS developed by Kerala State Land Use Board is a Web based Geographical Information System which will provide concurrent access to land resources information at various administrative levels. I am sure this will ensure efficiency, transparency, speed and accuracy in decision support mechanism at various levels. This will also facilitate access to the most updated information on land resources. I appreciate the initiative and efforts taken by Kerala State Land Use Board and I wish all the very best.

K. C. JOSEPH Minister for Rural Development, Planning, Culture,Dairy Development, NORKA and Information & Public Relations Kerala
