Knowledge-based Land Survey of Urban Habitations (NAKSHA).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Announced in<\/strong> <strong>2024-25 Budget.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aim:<\/strong> To standardise record-keeping, simplify processes and bring transparency in land transactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Budget:<\/strong> Rs 5,000 crore for the first phase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Features:\u00a0<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creating updated digitised land records in 150 cities across the country in the next year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To link each land parcel with details about the owner of the land and the type of development on it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover the entire urban area in the country within a period of 5 years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Background:<\/strong> As per the 2023-24 Economic Survey, nearly 40% of India\u2019s population is expected to be living in urban areas by 2030.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Streamlining land and property record systems is essential for the planned development of cities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only a few states such as Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat have a system of urban land record management in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most cities are having outdated land records due to the involvement of multiple agencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other Initiatives:<\/strong> There has been the successful implementation of two crucial Central government schemes \u2014 the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP) and the Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas (SVAMITVA) scheme.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>These schemes aimed to modernise land records in rural areas for agricultural land parcels and residential areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Need for Digitization of Land Records<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It will <strong>transform land management<\/strong> by addressing <strong>traditional challenges<\/strong> like disputes, fraud, and inefficient manual processes.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ownership information<\/strong> will be <strong>easily accessible <\/strong>online, enhancing transparency and reducing illegal encroachments.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It<strong> simplifies dispute resolution,<\/strong> easing court burdens, and empowering marginalized communities by improving access to land rights.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration with geospatial mapping <strong>enhances land management,<\/strong> enabling accurate surveys and planning.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>During land acquisitions or disasters,<\/strong> digital records ensure fair and timely <strong>compensation<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Achievements under DILRMP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It was restructured as a <strong>Central Sector Scheme in 2016 t<\/strong>o <strong>establish a modern and transparent land records management system<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Achievements:\u00a0<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Around 95%<\/strong> of land records have been computerized.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digitization of cadastral maps has reached 68.02% at national level.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>87% of Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs) have been integrated with land records.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>India is witnessing a<strong> transformative shift in land governance, <\/strong>focusing on enhancing transparency and accessibility of land information.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This change is especially important for <strong>marginalized communities<\/strong>, as it empowers them with secure and accessible proof of ownership.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As land records become clearer and more accessible, they pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable society.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: <\/strong><a
