DIGITAL INDIA LAND RECORD MODERNISATION PROGRAMME (DILRMP)
The Digital India Land Record Modernisation Programme (DILRMP) is a significant initiative undertaken by the Government of India to modernize land records and make them easily accessible and transparent to citizens. Launched in August 2008, the main objective of DILRMP is to digitize land records, minimize land disputes, enhance transparency in land-related transactions, and improve overall land governance in the country.
The program aims to achieve the following key objectives:
-
Computerization of Land Records: Under DILRMP, land records, including details of ownership, cultivation, and other relevant information, are digitized and stored in electronic formats. This ensures easier access to land records for both government authorities and citizens.
-
Integration of Land Records: The program seeks to integrate various land-related databases to create a comprehensive and unified system for land records. This helps in reducing discrepancies and promoting better coordination among different government departments.
-
Title Guarantee: DILRMP aims to establish a title guarantee system to provide conclusive land titles, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring more secure land transactions.
-
Online Services: One of the primary objectives of the program is to provide online access to land records and related services, such as record verification, land ownership details, and mutation status. This allows citizens to access information conveniently and saves time and effort.
-
Survey and Resurvey: DILRMP focuses on conducting accurate surveys and resurveys to update land records and maps regularly. This helps in maintaining the accuracy of land records and ensuring their relevance in current times.
-
Capacity Building: The program emphasizes the training and capacity building of officials and staff involved in land administration to effectively manage the digitized land records and provide better services to citizens.
-
Public Awareness: DILRMP aims to raise awareness among citizens about the benefits of digitized land records and how to access and utilize the online services effectively.
