## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI FAGGAN SINGH KULASTE)

- (a)  to (c): The National Land Records Modernization Programme (NLRMP) was approved by the Cabinet on 21.8.2008 as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme and later revamped under the Digital India initiative and renamed as Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP) and is being implemented as a Central Sector Scheme with effect from 1 st April, 2016 with 100%  funding by the Centre. The Central Government,  through  the  DILRMP  is  providing  assistance  to  the  States/UTs  for various  components  of  the  programme,  inter  alia,  for  Computerization  of  Land Records. So far, Rs. 2000.30 Crore (approx.) has been released since 2008-09 by the Central Government.   Till date, Computerization of Record of Rights (RoR) has been completed in 615,056 (93.68%) villages out of 656,521 villages across the country. The  implementation  of  State  wise  Computerization of  Land  Records  is  enclosed  at Annexure-I. All the States/UTs have been requested to expedite the implementation of DILRMP. The programme has been extended upto March 2026.
- (d): Land governance is a State subject listed at Sl. No.18 & 45 of State List (List II) and at Sl. No.6 & 42 of Concurrent list (List III) of the 7th Schedule of the Constitution wherein land revenue governance system is governed by State specific Acts/Rules/Regulations and certain Acts and Rules/Regulations of Central Government. Hence, maintenance of old records or database after updating the list of computer  records  for  any  additions  or  modifications  totally  lies  on  States/UTs. However, the Central Government is providing fund to the States/UTs under Modern Record  Room  (MRR)  component  of  the  DILRMP  to  keep  all  the  electronic  and physical Land Records database.
