Digitisation of land in 3yrs
Finance Minister AMA Muhith in his budget speech yesterday hoped the land management digitisation process across the country would be completed within three years.
“The whole land administration -- record preparation and preservation, change of land category, mutation and accounts of land revenues will be done in one office and land owners will be able to access related information from their homes,” Muhith told the parliament.
Reiterating his commitment to establish a digitalised land management system, the minister said the government has taken the initiative to roll out the digitisation of land administration throughout the country under the public-private partnership.
He said as part of the digitisation programme, 191 mouza-registers and mouza-maps of Dhaka city have been digitalised and posted on the website.
Muhith proposed an allocation of Tk 2,189 crore for fiscal year 2011-12 comprising both development and non-development budgets for land management and housing sector.
