Correct Answer: Option D

The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), initially known as the National Land Record Modernization Programme, was revamped into a Central Sector Scheme effective from April 1, 2016, with 100% funding provided by the Central Government. Hence statement 1 is correct.

The DILRMP aims to establish a modern, comprehensive, and transparent land record management system, ultimately developing an Integrated Land Information Management System.

The program's core components include:

  • Computerization of Land Records
  • Digitization of Cadastral Maps
  • Computerization of Registration Offices
  • Integration of Sub Registrar Offices (SROs) with Land Records Hence statement 2 is correct.

Key innovative initiatives under DILRMP:

  • Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN) or Bhu-Aadhar: A 14-digit alpha-numeric unique ID for each land parcel, based on geo-coordinates and adhering to international standards.
  • Transliteration of Land Records: An initiative to transliterate Records of Rights from local languages into any of the 22 languages listed in Schedule VIII of the Constitution. This is done with the technical support of the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune. Hence statement 3 is correct.

Therefore, all statements are correct.
