In a bold stride toward digital governance, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has unveiled the ‘Bhu Aadhaar’ program, assigning a unique 14-digit code to every land parcel in the city. Dubbed ULPIN, this identifier will digitize and safeguard property records, slashing disputes and corruption at their roots.
Speaking on the launch, Gupta hailed it as a cornerstone of PM Modi’s Digital India campaign. ‘Land disputes have plagued families for generations. This system will bring clarity, speed, and trust to ownership,’ she stated. Long overdue, the initiative revives a 2016 central scheme neglected by previous governments.
The revenue IT division, backed by the Survey of India, is utilizing advanced geospatial data—nearly 2TB worth—along with drone imagery for accurate mapping. Targeting rural pockets and 48 villages in the ownership scheme, the rollout follows a structured SOP with phased timelines. Success in the Tilangpur Kotla pilot, with 274 ULPINs issued, underscores its potential.
Key benefits include geo-referenced codes that resolve boundary conflicts, unified data across departments, and curbs on fake deals. Citizens gain instant access to property info via one number, sparing them bureaucratic hassles.
Gupta connected the dots to national priorities: ‘PM Modi envisions technology empowering the last mile. Bhu Aadhaar delivers that for land security.’ She highlighted how unclear records often victimize hardworking families, turning dreams into courtrooms. With Rs 132.07 lakh already allocated, the government is fully committed to citywide coverage, ensuring every plot is digitally anchored and dispute-proof.
