Digitisation will curb land-linked illegal activities: President Droupadi Murmu

This would help in making proper use of the land parcels as well as forming and implementing new schemes, she said.

The President said, “Linking of E-Courts with land records and registration data-base would have many benefits.”

“The transparency that is coming from digitisation would curb unethical and illegal activities related to land,” she said. Murmu said digitisation increases transparency. The modernisation and digitisation of land records would have a great impact on the development of the country, she said.

Digitisation of land records and its linkages with various government departments would help in proper implementation of welfare schemes, she said. It would also be of great help in case of loss of documents due to calamities like flood and fire, she added.

The President presented the “Bhoomi Samman” 2023 to state secretaries and district collectors along with their teams who have excelled in achieving saturation of the core components of Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme.
