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

17. ROLE OF THE PANCHAYATI RAJ INSTITUTIONS & NGOs
Gram Panchayats (GPs) can play a significant role in updation of land records and identification of property owners in the course of the settlement operations. The Gram Sabha could be involved to facilitate survey/re-survey, wherever necessary. The States/UTs can think of giving the power of doing undisputed mutations to the gram panchayats subject to making necessary provisions in revenue laws. Where GPs are involved in carrying out undisputed mutations, interconnectivity with tehsils may be worked out by the States/UTs with their own funds or by dovetailing funds from other sources. The District Administration may take help from the Panchayati Raj Institutions and reputed NGOs in building up awareness about the Programme. The District Monitoring and Review Committee, of which the CEO/EO of Zila Parishad is also a member, may give due weightage to the recommendations of the PRIs in the implementation of the Programme.
