Project Narrative
This study was to identify ways in which the accomplishments of the successful computerisation of land records in Karnataka could be built upon and expanded. The study also had the objective of capturing a broader set of lessons that may benefit other Indian states. It was designed to provide very specific and concrete suggestions on how shortcomings in the legal, technical, and administrative area can be addressed. This was then translated into a long-term strategy and concrete five-year action plan.
