To address long-standing property disputes, the Delhi government launched the ‘Bhu-Aadhaar’ project.
Rekha Gupta, the city’s chief minister, declared on Sunday that each land parcel will now have a unique 14-digit identification number, called the Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN).
Launched in 2021, this project is a major part of the central government’s Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). The government hopes to establish a clear, conflict-free environment for landowners by offering a digital identity card.
We will use high-resolution photography and drone surveying to create a new digital land map of Delhi. According to Gupta, the Bhu-Aadhaar is a “revolutionary step” in achieving the Prime Minister’s goal of a “Digital India.”
They are employing high-resolution photography and drone surveys to create a detailed digital map of Delhi. For the purpose of correctly accounting for every inch of land, the Survey of India is supplying roughly 2 TB (terabyte) of high-quality geospatial data, including Ortho Rectified Images (ORI).
By georeferencing the 14-digit ULPIN code, several government departments will be able to easily and successfully sync data, eliminating fraudulent transactions or repeated registrations.
According to a statement from the Delhi CMO (Chief Minister’s Office), this action is a part of the government’s drive to modernize Delhi’s land records and release residents from protracted land disputes.
With technical assistance from the Survey of India, the Revenue Department’s IT division is overseeing the rollout. In Tilangpur Kotla village (West Delhi), where the technology has already been tried, 274 ULPIN records were successfully created.
With 48 villages already covered under the SVAMITVA system, the project will now gradually spread throughout the nation’s capital. The project received a ā¹1.32 crore initial grant to set up the required infrastructure.
Bhu-Aadhaar eliminates the need for a ton of paper documents for the typical inhabitant. Instant access to all property details will be possible with just a single 14-digit number, protecting middle-class and impoverished families’ life savings from border disputes and land mafias.
Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Omar Abdullah, recently declared that his government will digitize only accurate and certified land records, pledging to guarantee total accuracy.
“We are not in a race to get everything done in six months. In the House, Abdullah stated, “Accuracy is what we need.”
“I tell you that we will not allow any inaccurate record to be digitized,” he added, adding that the government would take its time if obtaining accuracy took longer. We will have a meeting with the revenue department to discuss the members’ recommendations,” he continued.
