Question map
With reference to the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme, consider the following statements : 1. To implement the scheme, the Central Government provides 100% funding. 2. Under the Scheme, Cadastral Maps are digitised. 3. An initiative has been undertaken to transliterate the Records of Rights from local language to any of the languages recognized by the Constitution of India. Which of the statements given above are correct ?
Explanation
The correct answer is option D because all three statements are accurate.
**Statement 1 is correct:** DILRMP was revamped as a Central Sector Scheme with 100% Central Government funding with effect from 1st April 2016.[1]
**Statement 2 is correct:** The scheme updates land records and integrates textual and spatial records.[2] Cadastral maps, which show property boundaries and spatial information, are digitized as part of this integration of spatial records under DILRMP.
**Statement 3 is correct:** The Government with the technical support of C-DAC Pune has undertaken an initiative to transliterate the Records of Rights available in local language to any of the 22 Schedule VIII languages of the Constitution, with pilot tests underway in 8 States.[3]
Since all three statements are verified by the sources, option D (1, 2 and 3) is the correct answer.

PROVENANCE & STUDY PATTERN
Guest previewThis question is a 'Knowledge Trap' that punishes reliance on standard heuristics (e.g., assuming all land schemes are 60:40 shared). While Statement 2 is static book knowledge, Statements 1 and 3 require tracking specific administrative revamps (2016 funding change) and recent PIB updates (transliteration pilot). It signals that for 'Digital' schemes, you must verify the funding model and recent tech add-ons.
This question can be broken into the following sub-statements. Tap a statement sentence to jump into its detailed analysis.
- Statement 1: What is the Central Government funding share for the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP)?
- Statement 2: Are cadastral maps digitized under the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP)?
- Statement 3: Does the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP) include an initiative to transliterate Records of Rights (RoR) from local languages to languages recognized by the Constitution of India?
- Official Department of Land Resources page stating the scheme was revamped into DILRMP as a Central Sector Scheme.
- Explicitly mentions the funding share as 100% by the Central Government effective 1 April 2016.
- MoU text from official guidelines declaring DILRMP implementation modality.
- Clearly states the scheme is implemented as a Central Sector Scheme with 100% funding by the Central Government.
- Presentation slide summarizing DILRMP background and status.
- Specifies DILRMP is a Central Sector Scheme w.e.f. 01/04/2016 with 100% funding by Govt. of India.
Explicitly identifies DILRMP as a 'Centrally Sponsored Scheme' (merged from earlier central schemes).
A student can infer that DILRMP funding likely follows central–state cost‑sharing norms used for centrally sponsored schemes and look up those typical ratios to test the statement.
Describes the historical CSS lineage (Computerisation of Land Records, SRA&ULR) that were merged into DILRMP, reinforcing that it inherits CSS funding structures.
One can use knowledge of how legacy CSS for land records were funded (central share percentages) to estimate the likely central share under DILRMP and then verify.
Gives an example (National Infrastructure Pipeline) where Central and State Governments are expected to have equal funding shares (39% each), illustrating one possible central–state split used for large programmes.
A student could use this as an example of equal sharing to consider whether DILRMP might follow a similar equal-share pattern or contrast it with other CSS ratios to narrow possibilities.
Notes that programme‑specific allocations occur under Centrally Sponsored Schemes and that States are principal implementers of many functions, implying shared funding responsibility.
This suggests checking typical programme‑specific central grant practices (e.g., central grant plus state matching) to assess plausible central share for DILRMP.
Mentions active central encouragement for states to digitize land records and lists states that have digitized, indicating central policy priority which may affect central funding generosity.
A student might combine this with knowledge that high‑priority national initiatives often have larger central shares to hypothesize and then verify the central share for DILRMP.
