In the second step the computerization of land records has also been completed at Tehsil level in all the districts. Under this program the works of, establishment of Data centre at the district headquarters, monitoring centre at the state level and of imparting Training to the personnel, have also been completed so far.

A committee is constituted to look after the account of the income through sale of the copies of khatoni.
DILRMP: - After discontinuing all the earlier schemes/program of computerization and modernization of land records, the Govt. of India has started a new scheme of National Land Record Modernization Program (NLRMP). This scheme envisages the preparation of error free digitized land records to make it available for the common public.
Programme has been renamed as Digital India Land Record Modernization Programme (DILRMP) 100% funding central Government, Department of Land resources.
Apart from this, the process of registration and mutation of the properties. is to be completely computerized under this program.
