Raipur, October 26, 2024: Rural India is undergoing a significant transformation with the digitization of land records, modernizing the management of land ownership.
This initiative enhances transparency and efficiency in land administration, empowering millions of rural households, official sources said today.
Union Minister of Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan recently emphasized the importance of this shift, addressing long-standing challenges related to complex paperwork and ownership disputes.

He noted that nearly 95 per cent of land records have been digitized in rural India since 2016, marking a critical advancement towards ensuring secure and accessible land ownership in rural areas.
The digitization of land records in India has transformed land management by addressing traditional challenges like disputes, fraud, and inefficient manual processes.
Now, ownership information is easily accessible online, enhancing transparency and reducing illegal encroachments.
Digitized records simplify dispute resolution, easing court burdens, and empower marginalised communities by improving access to land rights. Integration with geospatial mapping enhances land management, enabling accurate surveys and planning. During land acquisitions or disasters, digital records ensure fair and timely compensation.
Overall, this shift has paved the way for a more transparent, accessible, and efficient land governance system in India, the sources added.
