Revolutionizing Land Management: Delhi's Bhu-Aadhaar Initiative Takes Off

The Delhi government has initiated a transformative step to resolve land boundary disputes with the introduction of the 'Bhu-Aadhaar' card, providing each land parcel with a unique 14-digit identification number.

As part of the Centre's Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme, this initiative aims to modernize Delhi's land records, officials said. High-resolution imaging and drone surveys will aid in creating a comprehensive digital land map, enhancing transparency and reducing fraud.

The implementation of the Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN) is overseen by the IT branch of the revenue department, in collaboration with the Survey of India. A pilot project in West Delhi has already demonstrated success, with the system set to expand city-wide under clearly defined timelines.
