The land ministry yesterday signed an agreement with an Indian FT firm for implementation of Digital Land Management System (DLMS) in seven districts in the country.
Once the project is completed in 18 months, owners of land under the scope of the project would be able to see all information related to the pieces of land online, said land ministry officials.
They further said that once the digital system was launched, good governance would be established in land administration as scope for
corruption and forgery would be reduced.
The agreement was signed under the Asian Development Bank funded project "Strengthening Governance Management Project", which began in 2011 and was to be finished this year. However, due to several complexities, the land ministry could not make progress in the project.
Initially, the project would be imple-
mented in 45 upazilas in seven districts - all upazilas under Gopalganj, Gazipur, Sherpur, Pabna and Dinajpur; Bagha and Puthia under Rajshahi district and all upazilas except sadar upazila under Jamalpur.
Regarding implementation of the system in other parts of the country, Zillur Rahman, the project director who signed agreement on behalf of the ministry, told The Daily Star, "Eventually all upazilas of the country will come under the system after successful completion of the project."
"Digital land management system is one of the
most important projects as it is going to establish transparency and good governance in land management system," said Land Minister Shamsur Rahman Sherif.
Ashes Kumar, assistant vice president of the IT firm, signed the agreement on behalf of the company at the land ministry. Sandeep Chakravorty, Indian deputy high commissioner, among others, was present.
