India Shares Experience in Digitisation and Modernisation of Land Records with Sri Lankan Delegation

The Department of Land Resources, Ministry of Rural Development, hosted a delegation of civil servants from Sri Lanka under an exposure programme coordinated by the National Centre for Good Governance. The interaction focused on India’s initiatives in digitising and modernising land records, particularly the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP). Key milestones discussed included the computerisation of Records of Rights, digitisation and georeferencing of cadastral maps, assignment of the Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN/Bhu-Aadhaar), computerisation of Sub-Registrar Offices and Revenue Courts, and the NAKSHA programme for urban land mapping using geospatial technologies.
