In a move to modernize land record management, the Government of Assam sanctioned โน48,65,148 on 25th June 2016, as per Letter No. RRG.77/2015/11. This funding was based on a proposal submitted by NIC (National Informatics Centre) for implementing BHUNAKSHA, a specialized software designed to digitize cadastral (land parcel) maps in revenue circle offices across the state.
From the approved amount, โน37.50 lakhs was released in advance to NICSI to hire support staff on a Free of Cost (FOC) basis. The project is being overseen by Sri Hemanta Saikia, Senior Technical Director at NIC, who was also informed about the selection of 21 assistants for the implementation of the BHUNAKSHA project in Assam.
Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP)
The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP) is a flagship initiative of the Government of India aimed at transforming land record management across the country. Launched in 2008 and later integrated with the Digital India campaign in 2016, DILRMP seeks to:
- Digitize and update land records
- Reduce property disputes
- Improve land governance and transparency
- Enable easier access to land data
Through DILRMP, the government is working to ensure secure, tamper-proof, and citizen-friendly land records for all.

Bhulekh โ All Land Record Portal
In addition to individual state portals, the Bhulekh โ All Land Record portal has been launched by the State Revenue Council to centralize and simplify access to land records. Previously, important documents like Khatauni, Jamabandi, and other land registers were maintained manually. With the new system in place, all such land record operations are now completely digital.
The portal offers:
- Lagan details (tax/dues)
- State-wise land record summaries
- Stamp duty and registration information
- Digital cadastral maps (Bhunaksha)
It is now easier for citizens to search and verify their land information from anywhere, at any time.
Record of Rights (RoR) and Cadastral Map Access Made Easy
RoR, commonly known as Jamabandi or Khatauni in some states, is a crucial document that details land ownership, liabilities, and land use.
Thanks to digitalization, users can now:
- Check RoR details online
- View parcel-wise land maps
- Track application status
- Download land documents instantly
This transformation has not only reduced the burden on land offices but has also brought greater transparency and accessibility for landowners and buyers.
