Agenda

This session will provide an overview of the new strategies and agenda detailing the fundamentals on which the DI-LRMP is based, including single agency handling property records, mirroring principle, curtain principle and guaranteed titling. It would also call for presentation by the private sector on secure, sustainable and scalable technology adoption for achieving these goals. The discussions will involve the implications of these fundamentals on the work in progress and new approaches and procedures to be adopted.

This session invites talks from senior land and revenue offices from Indian States and the private industry on the prerequisites for adopting new strategies to achieve conclusive titling as the end goal, including technological support needed for a) accurate description of property, b) assigning unique identification of property, c) clarity on re-boundaries of property, d) integration of transfer of property & record updation and e) alignment of record with reality

Integrated land information systems when applied as a strategic decision making tool can yield a variety of benefits for verticals such as banking and insurance, agriculture, utilities and infrastructure development, disaster management etc. It can also serve as a potent tool for governance in general and can be further provided as a base for applications development to start-ups and SMEs, which is already a common practice in several countries in Europe. This session will involve presentations by stakeholders on their vision or use of LIS for sectoral application and the potential states can reach by ensuring achievement of DI-LRMP agenda
