The two broad problems faced in regard to land law today are firstly, the problem of titling of land and secondly, the issue of digitization of land records. Even though these two issues might seem unconnected they are crucial for answering the larger question of effective land management especially from a developmental point of view. On one hand land parcels which have distinct ownership interests demarcated, the problem is that most of these land records are not accessible easily and a vast majority of these are in a dilapidated condition; on the other hand, there are large pockets of land which are in dispute over ownership and form a considerable portion of pending litigation. Dr. D.C. Wadhwa in his seminal article highlights the abysmal laziness on part of the government to maintain proper land records The firm McKinsey & Co. submitted a report titled “India: The Growth Imperative” to the Prime Minister in 2001 - the report clearly mentions “land market distortions” as one of the three major barriers which inhibit India’s Economic Growth. It is important for the state to ensure efficient planning, implementation and protection of rights related to land law as land is an important limited natural resource.
