The  DILRMP  has  been  extended  for  a period  of  five  years  from  01.04.2021  to  31.03.2026.  As  of  now,  98.50%  digitization  of  the existing land records (Record of Rights) has been completed in the country.  Some of the areas of North  Eastern  States  do  not  have  land  records  like  other  States  due  to  community  ownership issue and UT of Ladakh has started digitization in last couple of years.
- (b) The  Department  is  regularly  monitoring  the  implementation  of  the  DILRMP  with concerned  officials  of  States/UTs,  through  regular  Video  Conferences,  Review  meetings, Regional Review Meetings and field visits by the senior officers of the Department.  Also, one to one meetings with States are conducted by the Department on regular basis for early completion of remaining work of digitization of land records.

The objective of this Scheme  is  to  accelerate  and  complete  the  modernization  and  digitization  of  land  records, ensuring that rural land records are accurate, up-to-date, and seamlessly integrated with various Government Schemes and Banking Sector.
- (c) DILRMP is a digital initiative  to  integrate  land  information  and  management  systems. The digitized land records of States/UTs enables the citizens to have error-free, transparent and tamper-proof land  records   with  simplified  procedure  of  transfer  of  property  title  resulting  in reduction in  property disputes.
