The major target of DILRMP is to digitise all land records, digitise maps and surveys and so on. Digitization of land records has reduced land and property-related frauds and other offences or wrongs. Government has taken a great initiative to reduce these type of wrongs or offences and built infrastructure and employed officials to keep eye on these matters.

Merits of Digitization of Land Records:

Digitization of land records will boost up the government Digital India mission. This digitisation process will keep all the records of the land and property. It will also keep the records of the owners of the property and present status of the land and property. Digitisation also has the capacity to measure the total area of land owned by an individual. It keeps the records up to date. It also helps in avoiding confusion between private land or property and government land or property. Digitisation helps in the speeding up of land acquisition.
