Govt to double land records digitisation budget
The government will almost double the allocated budget of ₹5,600 crore to ₹11,000 crore and extend the deadline to digitise land records, according to officials. However, the extension from 2016 to 2021 and the doubling of the budget needs Cabinet's approval. The land record digitisation programme was launched in 2008 to survey lands, upgrade records, and establish the ownership.
