In the first phase events relating to Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra and distribution of Abhinandan Patra were organized.
The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), a Central Sector Scheme is being implemented by the Department of Land Resources (DoLR) with 100% funding by Government of India. The objective of DILRMP is to develop a modern, comprehensive and transparent land record management system. Substantial progress has been made in respect of land related matters through DILRMP.
As a step towards healthy competition and monitoring among the districts, this Department has initiated grading among the districts. Platinum Grading is being assigned to Districts which have completed 99% and more work in six basic components. As on October 26, 2023, as per DILRMP MIS as fed by the States/UTs, 157 districts in 14 States have completed 99% and above work in following basic six components:
i. Computerization of Land Records (RoR)
ii. Digitization of Cadastral Maps/FMBs
iii. Linkage of RoR with Cadastral maps
iv. Computerization of Registration
v. Integration of Registration (SRO) with Land Records (Revenue Office)
vi. Modern Record Room
The implementation of these six components would facilitate improvement in real-time information on land; optimize use of land resources; benefit both landowners & prospectors; assist in policy & planning; reduce land disputes; check fraudulent / benami transactions; obviate need of physical visits to Revenue/Registration offices and enable sharing of information with various organisations/agencies.
