Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched the Operational Guidelines for DILRMP 3.0 on 10 September 2026 at Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi.
DILRMP 3.0 runs as a Central Sector Scheme from 2026 to 2031 with an approved outlay of Rs 565.50 crore.
The phase moves from isolated databases to a GIS-enabled Land Stack linking maps, registrations and land disputes through secure APIs.
Universal Bhu-Aadhaar (ULPIN), a 14-digit unique identifier for every land parcel, is to be implemented nationwide, and 75 high-footfall Sub-Registrar Offices will be upgraded into Registration Seva Kendras with a dedicated Rs 37.5 crore.
Earlier phases had digitised 99.90% of Records of Rights and 97% of cadastral maps; a paperless Revenue Court Case Management System will now be integrated for dispute handling.
Digitise land records, computerise registration and integrate land-related databases so that land administration rests on a single verifiable record
Key: Began as the National Land Records Modernisation Programme (NLRMP), approved in 2008 as a centrally sponsored scheme; revamped as DILRMP, a Central Sector Scheme with 100% central funding, with effect from 1 April 2016
Move from standalone digital databases to a GIS-enabled Land Stack that links maps, registration and dispute data through secure APIs
Key: Rs 565.50 crore for 2026-31; nationwide Universal Bhu-Aadhaar (ULPIN), 75 Registration Seva Kendras and integration of the paperless RCCMS
Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas - give Records of Rights to rural household owners in inhabited village areas
Key: Launched in April 2020 and implemented by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, using drone survey; it complements DILRMP, which sits with the Ministry of Rural Development
Nodal department for DILRMP; runs land records digitisation, registration computerisation and the NAKSHA urban pilot
Parent ministry of the Department of Land Resources; its minister launched the DILRMP 3.0 operational guidelines
A layered digital framework in which the spatial layer (cadastral maps), the textual layer (records of rights), the transaction layer (registration) and the dispute layer talk to each other through secure APIs instead of sitting in separate silos.
Simple Analogy: Like UPI for land - separate systems agreeing on one identifier.
GS Paper II > Government policies and interventions for development; GS Paper III > e-governance and land reforms
General Awareness > Government schemes and their ministries
General Awareness > Schemes relevant to lending against land and property records
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... Which of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Unique Land Parcel Identification Number - a 14-digit identifier assigned to each land parcel
The official village-level record of land ownership and possession
A parcel-based map used in land administration and survey work
Revenue Court Case Management System - the paperless system for land dispute handling being integrated with land records
