Bhu-Aadhaar to assign unique 14-digit identifier to every land parcel in Delhi; end boundary disputes: CMO | India News

The Delhi government has launched an initiative to issue a ‘Vhu-Aadhaar’ card, a unique 14-digit identification number for each land parcel in the city, in a move aimed at ending land boundary disputes, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Sunday. A new digital land map of Delhi will be created using drone surveys and high-resolution imaging, he said, adding that Vu-Aadhaar is a “revolutionary step” towards realizing the Prime Minister’s vision.Digital India‘ The Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN), known as Bhu-Aadhaar, was launched in 2021 as part of the Centre’s Digital India Land Records Modernization Program (DILRMP). The move is part of the government’s push to modernize Delhi’s land records, freeing citizens from long-standing land disputes, the Delhi CMO said in a statement. The implementation of ULPIN has been entrusted to the IT Wing of the Revenue Department, which will also be assisted by the Survey of India. Around 2 TB (terabytes) of high-quality geospatial data and drone-based Ortho Rectified Image (ORI) are being sourced from Survey of India to generate accurate ULPIN for all areas of Delhi, including 48 villages already under SVAMITVA project, the statement said. Earlier, Rs 1.32 crore was allocated for the project, with financial management under the supervision of the IT wing. The government will now expand the system across Delhi in a phased manner under a standard operating procedure with fixed deadlines, it said. A pilot project has already been completed in Tilangpur Kotla village in West Delhi district, where 274 Yulpin records have been successfully generated. The land tenure system will ensure complete transparency in land ownership. The 14-digit code will be geo-referenced, thereby reducing land boundary disputes, the CMO said. This will facilitate coordination of land information between various government departments and effectively prevent fraudulent transactions and multiple registrations, it said. For citizens, the move is expected to bring comfort and convenience. Instead of navigating through multiple documents to establish land ownership, a single number will provide comprehensive details of the property, the statement added.
