Correct option is D
Statement 1 is correct.
The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP) was indeed revamped and converted into a Central Sector Scheme starting from 1st April 2016. As a Central Sector Scheme, it is fully funded by the Central Government, with 100% funding provided by the Centre. The revamping of this programme was part of the broader "Digital India" initiative, aimed at modernizing and digitizing land records across the country to ensure more transparency, efficiency, and accessibility.
Statement 2 is correct.
The DILRMP encompasses several components aimed at modernizing land records management. These components are crucial for the overall success of the programme and include:
Setting up of Modern Record Room: Establishing modern facilities for the secure and systematic storage of land records.
- Survey/re-survey: Conducting new surveys or re-surveys to update and verify land records.
- Data entry/re-entry: Entering or re-entering land record data into digital formats to ensure accuracy and accessibility.
- Digitization of cadastral Maps/FMBs/Tippans: Converting traditional land maps and records (like Field Measurement Books and Tippans) into digital formats.
- State Level Data Centre: Establishing data centers at the state level to store and manage digitized land records.
- Computerization of Registration process: Digitizing the land registration process to streamline operations and reduce manual intervention.
- DILRMP Cell: Setting up dedicated cells for managing and implementing the programme.
- PMU (Project Management Unit): Establishing a Project Management Unit to oversee the programme's implementation.
- Evaluation Studies, IEC, and Training: Conducting evaluation studies, information, education, and communication (IEC) activities, and training to support the programme's objectives.
- Core GIS/Software Applications: Developing and implementing core Geographic Information System (GIS) and software applications to manage land records effectively.
Statement 3 is correct.
One of the innovative initiatives under the DILRMP is the Transliteration of Land Records into all languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India. This initiative aims to overcome linguistic barriers in land governance by transliterating the Records of Rights (land ownership records) from the local language into any of the 22 languages recognized in the Eighth Schedule. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in Pune is providing technical support for this initiative, ensuring that land records can be accessed and understood by citizens in their preferred language.
