Union Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan Launches Operational Guidelines for DILRMP 3.0

Key Highlights:

• Union Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched the Operational Guidelines for the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP) 3.0.
• DILRMP 3.0 aims to improve Ease of Living for rural citizens, farmers, and property owners through integrated land administration.
• Previous phases digitized 99.90% of Records of Rights (RoRs) and 97% of cadastral maps.
• Key features include a GIS-enabled ‘Land Stack’, Universal Bhu-Aadhaar (ULPIN), and Registration Seva Kendras (RSKs).
• The program will be implemented with 100% central funding across all States and Union Territories.

Detailed Insights:

• DILRMP 3.0 shifts from isolated digitization to full system integration, ensuring easier access to institutional credit and reducing citizen visits to government offices.
• It focuses on spatial accuracy, georeferenced maps, and seamless interoperability across departments to resolve legacy challenges.
• The Land Stack will integrate various land-related information layers, forming a National Land Stack from state-level systems.
• ULPIN assigns a 14-digit unique identifier to every land parcel to establish unambiguous property identities and prevent fraud.
• RSKs will modernize 75 high-footfall Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs) into citizen-friendly service centers, similar to Passport Seva Kendras.
• Other components include scanning legacy records, creating a Registration Repository, and modernizing Revenue Court Case Management System (RCCMS) for paperless courts.
• The NAKSHA pilot project will be accelerated to create GIS-based urban land records and issue Urban Property Cards (UrPro Cards).
• Implementation will be performance-linked and monitored in real-time via an upgraded DILRMP-MIS dashboard overseen by the Project Sanctioning & Monitoring Committee (PS&MC).
