EconomyNext reports that Sri Lanka has allocated Rs800 million for Bimsaviya and Rs140 million for land digitisation. The reports do not provide a date for the allocation.
EconomyNext says the digitisation plan is to integrate plans for 3.5 million land parcels, currently held as hard copies by the Survey Department, into a land information system. Newsfirst also reports a government plan to digitise 3.5 million land records.
Newsfirst frames the initiative as an effort to address longstanding paperwork, delays and disputed land records, and says the government sees secure land rights and digital systems as potential support for economic activity. Neither report provides a timetable or further implementation details.
