About:
- In the rural areas the smallest area of habitation, viz., the village generally follows the limits of a revenue village that is recognised by the normal district administration.
- The revenue village need not necessarily be a single agglomeration of the habitations. It may have one or more hamlets.
- But the revenue village has a definite surveyed boundary and each village is a separate administrative unit with separate village accounts. The entire revenue village is one unit.
- There may be un-surveyed villages within forests etc., where the locally recognised boundaries of each habitation area are followed within the larger unit of say the forest range officer’s jurisdiction.
Recent decision:
- As Tinkonia village fell under the Forest Department, its residents were deprived of basic govt. schemes and facilities like BPL cards, healthcare, education, electricity connections etc.
After being declared a revenue village by U.P. Government, it has been electrified and ration cards have been issued to its residents.
