ABSTRACT
In their chapter, Ravinder Kaur and Venkatamallu Thadaboina argue that the focus of governments in the digital age is to provide good governance to citizens by adopting information and communication technology (ICT) tools in public sector management and public service delivery. In India, numerous initiatives have begun under their e-governance strategy. The government of India launched the National Land Records Modernization Programme (NLRMP) in 2008, which was revamped in 2014 as the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), with the aim of establishing a system of titles to ensure conclusive proof of land ownership. The chapter concludes with the policy changes required for effective implementation of the programme that ensures real-time updation of land records with the integration of all concerned institutions, including the departments involved in land registration, records management, financial institutions and the judiciary.
