The document discusses land governance and management reforms in India through the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). It outlines the current land record system's limitations and the vision for a more transparent, computerized system. Key initiatives include computerizing land and registration records in most states, digitizing maps, integrating land and registration processes, linking Aadhaar IDs, and conducting land surveys. Case studies from Karnataka, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh demonstrate integrated, technology-driven systems that minimize human errors and corruption in land services.

2. Presentation on Transformation in Land
Governance Management system in India
“Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP)”
1. Present Land Governance system in India
 More Presumptive land title system than conclusive title
 Multiple agencies
 Time lag between land transaction and up-dation of land records
 Opaqueness in maintenance of land records
 High degree of inaccessibility of the records by common citizen
 Less of citizen centric
 Inadequate use of IT application
 More human interface for service deliveries

3. 2-Way forward: Vision for future
Need for “Transparent comprehensive Land information
Management” system
Computerization of Land records and associate processes
Seamless flow of information between different
government entities
Web enabled services to common citizen
Integration of different processes
Computerization of Land records
Computerization of registration process
Aadhar number seeding to Revenue records
Sub registrar office (SRO) and Revenue office (Tehsil)

4. Continue
Multiple Agencies for various service deliveries to curb
corruption
CSC as a center for services
Revenue offices
Kiosks
Cyber café
 Ensure Adequate Accountability of Revenue officials
Authentication using Aadhaar number
Biometric authentication
Password protected process
 Other methods

5. Recent initiatives of the Land Governance in the
Country
Computerization of land Records completed in 31 States/UTs
 Stoppage of Issuance of Records of rights
 Uploading of the land records data on web
 Multiple agencies for service deliveries in five states
 Digitally signed copy of ROR
Computerization of Registration process in 30 states
 Web enabled registration process
 Delivery of registered document on the same day
 Supply of registered document in Digi locker
Digitization of revenue maps in 10 states
Updation of land records through survey/ resurvey in 16 States

6. Continue
Aadhaar seeding with ROR in 5 states
Integration of Land records with computerization
process in 11 states
Use of IT applications and Aadhaar authentication
in registration process.
Capacity Building and IEC activities.

10. Best practices of Land Governance
Management in the country
Case Study I - Bhoomi- Kaveri Integration: A new initiative by Govt of
Karnataka
Bhoomi was integrated with KAVERI (Registration Department’s
Software ) in order to get electronic copy of indexed information of J-
Slip in the year 2006, Mutation was initiated using this XML file
received from Registration Department. Further, in order to achieve
online integration and cut down dual data entry time Bhoomi- Kaveri
tight integration was implemented in the year 2011. Bhoomi has been
tightly integrated with all Sub-Registrar Officers. The main purpose of
this Integration is to do away with impersonation, selling of same
extent of land to multiple buyers, selling Land which belongs to
Government or where Government restrictions are in place etc.

11. Case study of Karnataka - continue
Bhoomi- Kaveri Integration:
• Bhoomi (Software for Land Records) is integrated with KAVERI
(Registration Software).
• XML file is generated in Registration process.
• XML File is received in Revenue Department.
• Mutation process is initiated in Taluka Office after XML file is received.
• Information is flashed on dashboard of taluka office.
• Notices are issued to concerned parties.
• Provisionally the transaction on the same land are blocked.
• Mutation are either allowed or denied based on objection filed or no
objection received.

13. Case Study-2 Integration of Land Records and
Registration process in Haryana-HALRIS
• Integrated system of Land Records and Registration (HALRIS)
• Records of Rights (RoR) and Maps are provided as a service to the
citizen
• Resurvey of Cadastral Records being done in entire State using High
Resolution Satellite Imagery and ETS/GPS
• Primary Control Point Network set up in entire State
• Use of modern technology for upation of revenue records, an
initiative towards good governance
• Automated updatoin of revenue records, minimizing human interface
to obviate corruption in land governance
