India is going to double the budget for the digitalization of land records. A senior official said that, India would extend the deadline for the process as lands were not mapped in a century. A consultant with the land records department, K.K. Phull said that, many states lack the means to survey lands and for nearly all states that had not been a top priority so far, hence the delays. He added, “The program aims to provide clear titles of ownership that shall result in government officials being able to monitor land more easily, speedier transactions and less corruption in administration”. Phull said that, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh had completed the process of digitalization; Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra were scheduled to digitize land records in few months.
