Bodoland Region Pioneers Land Record Digitization
Imagine a place called Bodoland that's part of India.
They used to keep all their land records on paper, which was slow and sometimes led to problems.
Now, they've put everything online!
This means it's super easy to find your land information using computers, phones, or special kiosks.
This new system helps prevent mistakes and makes things faster for everyone, like farmers who need documents.
The government is even helping people learn how to use these new digital tools.
This change is like giving Bodoland a modern upgrade, making things quicker and fairer for its residents.
The Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) is the first Sixth Schedule autonomous council to digitize land records.
Over 15 lakh land documents have been digitized and made accessible.
An e-Office system has been implemented for real-time file tracking and paperless decision-making.
The initiative started in 2023 with ground surveys across several districts.
Limited internet access and digital literacy pose ongoing challenges.
