With reference to the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme, consider the following statements :
- 1.To implement the scheme, the Central Government provides 100% funding.

Show answer
Answer: D. Statement 1 is correct: since 2016 the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme is a Central Sector scheme with 100% central funding. Statement 2 is correct: digitising cadastral maps (village land maps) is a core part of it. Statement 3 is correct: it has an initiative to transliterate Records of Rights into any of the 22 Eighth Schedule languages. So 1, 2 and 3.
Watch for: Land is a State subject, so students assume States must share costs, but DILRMP is fully centrally funded.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Statement 3 is also correct.
- B. Wrong because Statement 1 is also correct.
- C. Wrong because Statement 2 is also correct.
