Gaam Namuno 7/12 Land Record Template, circa 1946
Scope and Contents
This document is a template of Gaam No Namuno 7 and 12, a crucial rural land record form detailing ownership, land type, and agricultural use, effectively serving as proof of ownership. Such records were essential for land transactions, securing loans, and resolving legal disputes, and before 1947 the princely state administration maintained similar structures to modern revenue systems. Its archival significance lies in revealing the continuity of bureaucratic and scientific record-keeping in rural governance, bridging princely administration with post-Independence revenue practices, and showing how agrarian and pastoral knowledge was codified and standardised.
