Question 98

With reference to the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme, consider the following statements :
1. To implement the scheme, the Central Government provides 100% funding.
2. Under the Scheme, Cadastral Maps are digitised.
3. An initiative has been undertaken to transliterate the Records of Rights from local language to any of the languages recognized by the Constitution of India.

B

C
C) 1 and 3 only
D
D) 1, 2 and 3

BSolution

All three statements about the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP) are correct.

1. Statement 1 is correct. The DILRMP is a centrally sponsored scheme, and its implementation is indeed fully funded by the Central Government, providing 100% financial assistance to the States/UTs. This ensures uniformity and accelerated implementation.
2. Statement 2 is correct. A core component of DILRMP is the digitization of cadastral maps (survey maps). These maps depict property boundaries, ownership, and other land details. Digitization helps in accurate record-keeping and easy access.
3. Statement 3 is correct. DILRMP aims to develop an Integrated Land Information Management System (ILIMS) across the country. A key part of this is the transliteration of Records of Rights (RoRs) from local languages into any of the 22 languages recognized by the Constitution of India. This facilitates greater transparency, interoperability, and ease of access to land records for citizens across different linguistic regions.

Therefore, all statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
