Land Records

The main objective of the NLRMP is to develop a modern, comprehensive and transparent land records management system in the country with the aim to implement the conclusive land-titling system with title guarantee, which will be based on four basic principles, i.e., (i) a single window to handle land records (including the maintenance and updating of textual records, maps, survey and settlement operations and registration of immovable property), (ii) the ―"mirror" principle, which refers to the fact that cadastral records mirror the ground reality, (iii) the ―"curtain" principle which indicates that the record of title is a true depiction of the ownership status, mutation is automated and automatic following registration and the reference to past records is not necessary, and (iv) title insurance, which guarantees the title for its correctness and indemnifies the title holder against loss arising on account of any defect therein.

Land Records Computerisation

To facilitate easy maintenance and updating of changes which occur in land database such as changes due to availability of irrigation/natural calamities/consolidation/ or on account of legal changes like transfer of ownership, partition, land acquisition, lease etc.
To provide for comprehensive scrutiny to make land records tamper-proof, which may reduce the menace of litigation and social conflicts, associated with land disputes.
To provide the required support for implementation of development programmes for which data about distribution of land holdings is vital.
To facilitate detailed planning for infrastructural as well as environment developement.
To facilitate preparation of an annual set of records in the mechanised process and thereby producing accurate documents for recording details such as collection of land revenue, cropping pattern etc.
To provide database for agricultural census.
