Assam’s Bodoland becomes first tribal council to digitise land records

GUWAHATI

The Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) in Assam has become the first tribal council under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution to fully digitise its land records.

Officials said the digitisation of more than 15 lakh land documents, including texts and maps, across the 8,970 sq. km BTR was completed a few weeks ago, ending decades of manual record-keeping.
