- These initiatives include
- Roll out of National Generic Document Registration System (NDGRS) throughout Assam.
- NDGRS is common, generic application developed for registration departments across country under One Nation One Software initiative.
- Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN): 14-digit alpha-numeric identification number assigned for a land parcel based on Geo-coordinates.
- Blockchain in Land Records (LR) was launched on pilot basis in Darrang district, Assam to bring transformation in LR management.
- Roll out of National Generic Document Registration System (NDGRS) throughout Assam.
- Issues in LR management in India
- Presumptive land titling (E.g. registered sale deed) that provide evidence of transfer of title but are not a government guaranteed title to property.
- Property Frauds e.g. duplication and tampering of original land documents.
- Other issues: Large number of land related litigations, double selling of landed property, non-existence of unique record.
- Use of blockchain in LR management
- Tamper-proof solution for managing LRs as it allows transactions to be recorded and distributed but not edited.
- Centralised database of LR accessible to all departments enabling faster disposal of requests for subsidy, approval of loan by bank etc.
- Publicly available blockchain data of property registrations would reduce dependency on non-reliable personnel/agencies to verify authenticity of LRs.
