India, Sept. 10 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Union Minister for Rural Development, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, formally launched the Operational Guidelines for the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP) 3.0 during a hybrid event held at Krishi Bhawan today. The launch brought together State Revenue and Registration Ministers, Principal Secretaries, and senior officials from across the country via video conferencing.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan stated that DILRMP 3.0 is a decisive step toward improving Ease of Living for rural citizens, farmers, and property owners. He underscored that land in India is deeply tied to emotional and familial identities, making accurate and accessible documentation vital.
"Land is not just a piece of soil; it is the pride of our farmers, the blessing of our ancestors, and the identity of future generations," said the Union Minister.
The Minister pointed out that the earlier phases of DILRMP successfully digitized 99.90% of Records of Rights (RoRs) and 97% of cadastral maps, alongside computerizing 99% of Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs). He noted that DILRMP 3.0 now raises the bar by moving from isolated digitization to full system integration, ensuring farmers can secure institutional credit easily and citizens are spared repeated visits to government offices.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister of State for Rural Development, Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, highlighted that DILRMP 3.0 will resolve legacy challenges by focusing on spatial accuracy, georeferenced maps, and seamless interoperability across departments.
Secretary, Department of Land Resources (DoLR), Shri Narendra Bhooshan, delivered the welcome address and set the context for the guidelines, noting that DILRMP 3.0 marks a shift toward building an integrated Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for land administration. Joint Secretary (LR), Shri Parikipandla Narahari, gave a comprehensive presentation detailing the technical architecture and scheme components.
