The Delhi government has inaugurated the ‘Bhu-Aadhaar’ project, which aims to assign each land parcel in the city a unique 14-digit identification number. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced this initiative on Sunday, stating that it is intended to resolve ongoing land boundary disputes.
According to Gupta, the introduction of Bhu-Aadhaar signifies a significant advancement towards fulfilling the Prime Minister’s vision of a ‘Digital India’. A comprehensive digital map of Delhi will be created utilizing drone surveys and high-resolution imaging techniques.
Launched in alignment with the Centre’s Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP) back in 2021, the Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN), known as Bhu-Aadhaar, is part of broader efforts to update and modernize land records in the capital. This move is anticipated to relieve citizens of the burdens associated with longstanding land disputes, as stated by the Delhi Chief Minister’s Office.
Implementation responsibilities for ULPIN will fall to the IT division of the revenue department, which will work in collaboration with the Survey of India. Approximately 2 terabytes of high-quality geospatial data and drone-generated Ortho Rectified Images will be acquired to create precise ULPINs for all regions of Delhi, including the 48 villages already integrated into the SVAMITVA scheme.
Initially, an investment of Rs 1.32 crore was allocated for the Bhu-Aadhaar project, with financial oversight provided by the IT branch. The initiative will now be rolled out gradually throughout Delhi according to a standard operating procedure that includes defined timelines.
A successful pilot project has been executed in Tilangpur Kotla village, located in the West Delhi district, where 274 ULPIN records were generated effectively. This new system is expected to promote transparency in land ownership, with the 14-digit code being geo-referenced to significantly reduce land boundary conflicts.
The Bhu-Aadhaar initiative is designed to enhance data coordination among various governmental departments, thus tackling fraudulent land transactions and preventing multiple registrations. For citizens, this system promises improved convenience, allowing them to access complete property details with a single unique number, rather than navigating through numerous documents to verify land ownership.
