The Government has approved creation of three National Land Records Modernization Programme, NLRMP Centres at Salboni in West Bengal, Union territory of Puducherry and at Berhampur and sanctioned about Rs 196 lakh for each of the centres during the financial year 2011-12. The NLRMP centres shall be made operational within a period of one year from the date of sanction.

The National Land Records Modernization 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 programme that will add value and provide a comprehensive database for planning developmental, regulatory and disaster management activities by providing location-specific information, while providing citizen services based on land records data. The activities to be supported under the Programme, inter alia, include survey/resurvey using modern technology including aerial photogrammetry, updating of land records including mutation records, completion of computerization of the records of rights (RoRs), computerization of registration, automatic generation of mutation notices, digitization of maps, integration of the entire system digitization of maps and training and capacity building of the concerned officials and functionaries.

It must be recalled that in 2008, the Cabinet had approved the proposal of the Department of Land Resources, Ministry of Rural Development to merge the two existing Centrally-sponsored schemes of Computerization of Land Records (CLR) and Strengthening of Revenue Administration & Updating of Land Records (SRA&ULR) and to replace them with a modified Centrally-sponsored scheme in the shape of the National Land Records Modernization Programme (NLRMP), with the ultimate goal of ushering in the system of conclusive titles with title guarantee in the country.
