The Central Govt has
identified 50 districts where states will modernise land records in one year,
reviving the National Land Records Modernisation Programme that has failed to
make much ground in 6 years despite more than Rs. 500 crore spend.
The Central Govt has
decided to implement it through a tar geted approach where 100 per cent
modernisation of land records will be achieved in selected districts in one
year.
“We have now decided
to focus on one or / two districts in
each state where huge money has already been spent & the programme is
expected to make a visible impact,“ a senior government official told ET.
Launched by the first
UPA government in August 2008, the National Land Records Modernisation
Programme (NLRMP) aims to modernise management of land records by computerising
registration & all land records including maps and spatial data.
This would minimise
scope of landproperty disputes, enhance transparency in the land records
maintenance system, and facilitate moving eventually towards guaranteed
conclusive titles to immovable properties in the country.
However, after about 6
years in operation & morethan Rs. 500 crore spent under the scheme, most
states have failed to make any significant progress despite the previous UPA
government setting a 2017 deadline for achieving 100 per cent modernisation of
land records in India.Hence the shift to a targeted approach.
Only 4 states-Gujarat,
Haryana, Karnataka and Tripura have made substantial progress on this front.
While some work has
started in another 8 states namely Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, Goa,
Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh -others like Arunachal
Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland
have barely taken a step in this direction.
Department of land
resources under the ministry of rural development, which initiated the scheme,
has already sent a list of 50 districts across all states & union
territories that will now be focus points for implementation of the programme.
