Center of Excellence in Land Administration and Management

Land administration, as it is understood, falls under the jurisdiction of the states. All aspects related to land, such as ownership, tenure, land revenue, conversion of use, restrictions on transfer, acquisition of land, survey, and settlement, are governed by state-specific laws and are implemented by the bureaucratic machinery of the state governments.
The work of land administration can be broadly categorized under the following heads:
i. Creation of New Records: Survey and settlement
ii. Maintenance of Land Records: Updates and changes in the land records
iii. Transfer of Land: Registration of deeds for land property transactions
iv. Dispute Resolution: Taking quasi-judicial decisions in revenue courts by the revenue authority
