The Land Reforms (LR) Division was implementing two Centrally Sponsored Schemes viz.: Computerization of Land Records (CLR) & Strengthening of Revenue Administration and Updating of Land Records (SRA&ULR). Later on 21.8.2008, the Cabinet approved the merger of these schemes into a modified Scheme named Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). The main focus of DILRMP are to usher in a system of updated land records, automated and automatic mutation, integration between textual and spatial records, inter-connectivity between revenue and registration, to replace the present deeds registration and presumptive title system with that of conclusive titling withtitleguarantee. The DILRMP has 3 major components - (a) Computerization of land record (b) Survey/re-survey (c) Computerization of Registration. The District has been taken as the unit of implementation, where all programme activities are to converge. It is hoped that all districts in the country would be covered by the end of the 12th Plan period except where cadastral surveys are being done for thefirsttime. The Revenue Department of Maharashtra had to install a client and create a VPN every time while accessing the Government portal. 2
- 3. Challenges & Needs The Revenue Department of Maharashtra was facing many problems due to the old-age methodology of carrying out the work. When using VPNs for the LR and IGR projects, they had to repeatedly install a client software in their computer and then work on it. This was tedious and time-consuming. Revenue dept. wanted secure remote access for applications to all the officials across Maharashtra. They were working in 36 districts, 358 sub- districts, and 43,722 village-level offices, which needed to connect to access the required web portals for land record related services. The need was to have connectivity irrespectiveofthedeviceandlocation. The officials didn't want to use client-based VPN technology for over 15,000 users, which would keep growing over time. Revenue dept. officials were facing several performance issues like server speed and accessibilityovertheoldclient-basedVPN.
