For now, the project will be implemented in Kharkhari Nahar area of Nazafgarh in South West Delhi and it will be extended in the next few months to other areas.
The project was launched by Chief Secretary P K Tripathi.
"The government has initiated digitization of land records to stop tampering of land records and to make the process of mutation of land more transparent and efficient," a senior official of the Revenue department said.
The land records in the rural areas will be digitised first.
The software for digitisation of the land records has been developed by National Informatics Centre.
"The digitization of land records has been taken up on a pilot basis for Kharkhari Nahar area of Najafgarh," said a senior official of the Revenue department.
