The government's move to digitise land records is set to transform the country's age-old land management system. This initiative, under the 'Digital India' programme, involves conversion of paper-based records into electronic formats. More than 94% of rights records and state-specific registration offices have already been digitised under the 'Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme'. Digitisation of land records holds immense significance, as it has the potential to enhance transparency in land-related transactions, reduce property ownership disputes and make land management efficient. The government has been proactive in promoting digitisation of land records. Initiatives such as the National Land Records Modernisation Programme and the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme have been pivotal in driving this process.
