NCAER Land Records and Services Index (N-LRSI) 2021: Overview

The NCAER Land Record & Services Index, N-LRSI 2020-21 is the second edition of the Index, based on NCAER's Land Policy Initiative, which has been supported by Omidyar Network India, through its Property Rights Research Consortium initiative which aims to enable evidence-based solutions for securing land, housing and property rights in India. It provides a measure of the digitisation and quality of land records and services based on a number of parameters for the states and Union Territories of the country. This second edition of the index also helps us track the progress made by the states and UTs over the year, based on a comparison with N-LRSI 2019-20. It also presents a new index on accessibility of records that was measured using a rigorous set of indicators provided in the Guidelines for Indian Government Websites 2.0 (GIGW 2.0), prepared by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
