This is the tenth volume in a major series which studies the status of land reforms throughout the country. It examines the progress achieved and the difficulties ecountered in the computerization of land records in various states. The basic system of land records in India was developed under British rule and has not yet been modified in accordance with present day requirements. The ill equipped and outdated system of maintaining these records is partially responsible for the limited success of land reform initiatives in the country. In 1988, the central government sponsored the Computerisation of Land Records scheme to tackle the recurring problems thrown up by the inadequate land record system. The aim of the scheme is to create a database of records; facilitate the issuing of copies of records; management information system. Even though the scheme has been in operation for more than 15 years, progress has been highly skewed. Providing a critical appraisal of CoLR, the 20 articles in the volume are divided into the following three parts: Computerisation of Land Records, Digitisation of Cadastral Maps, Land Information System. Based on empirical data and field studies, this volume is an important contribution towards understanding the socio-economic realities and social dynamics of contemporary India in the framework of land reforms. It will be of considerable interest to government officials and those engaged in the task of computerizing land records, while being of equal interest to students of rural development, economics and e-governance.
