(a) to (c) The National Land Resource Management
Programme (NLRMP) has been conceptualized as a major
system and reform initiative that is concerned not merely
with computerization, updating and maintenance of land
records and validation of titles, but also as a program
that will add value and provide a comprehensive tool for
development planning wherever location-specific
information is required. The primary focus of the
Programme will be on citizen services, such as providing
records of rights (RoRs) with maps to scale; other land-
based certificates such as caste certificates, income
certificates (particularly in rural areas), domicile
certificates; information for eligibility for development
programmes; land passbooks, etc. In addition, the
Programme will be of immense usefulness to the
governments - both Central and State Governments - in
modernizing and bringing efficiency to the land revenue
administration as well as offering a comprehensive tool
for planning various land-based developmental activities.
However, NLRMP is yet to be finalized.
