Draft operational guidelines of digital india land records modernization programme (dilrmp) introduction

(e) Inter-connectivity among revenue Offices
(i) Authentication mechanism
Authenticated land records data may be put on the Web from a central location in each State or UT under the control of a duly designated official of the State or UT govt. The aim is to view and/or generate authenticated reports (such as RoRs with maps-to-scale, other details) on demand in a secure manner via any computer connected to the Web. The authentication mechanism would be decided in consultation with the NIC, financial institutions, Law Ministry, etc.
(ii) Web-enabling with access control
Data, duly authenticated at the tehsil or higher level in the revenue set up of the State/UT Govt., would be transferred over secure network to the State-level Data Centre (SLDC). The NIC may develop the security protocols, access control protocols and web portals, etc. for this purpose. The ISP servers (web servers, DNS servers, firewall, etc.) and other hardware and software may be arranged through the existing facility of the NIC for web hosting in each State/UT, without any extra cost.
(iii) Secure connectivity via LAN or WAN
All the land record offices, from the State level to the tehsil or equivalent level, as well as the registration offices may be securely connected via local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) in an appropriate configuration based on the functional and technical requirements.
II. Survey/resurvey and updating of survey & settlement records (including ground control network and ground truthing)
A Policy Circular was issued by the Department on 8th Dec 2016 to ordinarily carry out record or survey / re-survey operations from DILRMP funds only in places where record of rights or field book or map are not available or have been destroyed / damaged / outdated etc. and not to have unnecessary Surveys / re-Surveys when land records are available as per the normal. [It may be noted that exact one-to-one co-relation between the area recorded in the record of rights and in the map is not readily feasible, nor albeit absolutely necessary, and, if the area differs, the area recorded in the record of rights prevails (map-correction is duly undertaken if area materially differs).]
Funds have been sanctioned for 323 districts for Survey / re-Survey out of which work has commenced in 111 districts. 323 (-) 111 = 212 districts are being revisited to see whether there is need for survey / re-survey as per the policy circular of 8th Dec 2016. It is envisaged that about 75 districts (out of 212) would qualify for Survey / re-Survey as per the policy. In addition, of the remaining 681 (-) 323 = 358 districts about 50 districts would qualify for Survey / re-Survey as per the policy. In these 75 + 50 = 125 districts the Survey / re-Survey would be possible at the proposed enhanced rates of [a]: High-Resolution Satellite Imagery (HRSI) and Ground Truthing by TS and DGPS ₹ 25550/sq km, [b]: Hybrid methodology using aerial photography and Ground Truthing by TS and DGPS ₹ 27600/sq km and [c]: Pure ground method using TS and DGPS Manual ETS / DGPS ₹ 34050/sq km for the three methods. These rates have been recommended on 11-08-2016 by the Core Technical Advisory Group (CTAG) chaired by Secretary DoLR with inter alia DG NIC, DG C-DAC, SGI, RGI and Director, Soil and Land Use Survey of India M/ A&FW as members.
All committed liabilities and ongoing sanctioned works under survey / re-survey may be implemented out of the unutilized funds. In no case, any new activity under this head would be carried out from DILRMP funds. Efforts may be undertaken to ensure that unspent balance at the State level/IA level are reduced to the optimum extent possible through “just-in-time” release of funds through PFMS platform.
