Patna, July 15, 2025: Taking a significant step in digital land management, Sanjay Saraogi, the minister of Revenue and Land Reforms Department, Bihar, launched the integrated Land Record Management System (ILRMS)—Spatial Mutation Portal on Tuesday.
The portal was launched at Survey Bhawan, Patna, with senior officials and IIT Roorkee experts present.
Sanjay Saraogi said that the Spatial mutation is a modern system for auto-updating revenue maps and title records during the sale, purchase, or inheritance of land.
It replaces the mutation, error-prone, and slow mutation process with transparent, accurate, and time-bound updates.
It will be used for pre-mutation sketches showing the exact land map before transactions, ensuring clarity and transparency.
Sanjay Saraogi elaborated portal’s key features:
It will provide an automatic update of land records and maps during transactions, reduction in land disputes and cases in revenue courts, actual map-based information to land owners online, protection of government land from encroachment, faster identification of eligible beneficiaries for government schemes like PMAY, crop insurance and integrated digital services on a single platform for citizens.
First in India:
Bihar has become the first state in the country to operationalize local spatial mutation under ILRMS, developed in collaboration with IIT Roorkee using Make in India GIS technology, replacing earlier dependence on costly foreign solutions.
Sanjay Saraogi stated, “The era of bags has ended, and the era of laptops has begun. Our goal is quick justice and quick work.”
The system will be rolled out in all villages where final rights records are published, starting with 80 villages across three districts,” said Dipak Kumar Singh, ACS of Revenue and Land Reforms Department, Bihar.
“IIT Roorkee’s technology will ensure transparent tracking of ownership within joint properties,” said Jai Singh, Secretary of Revenue and Land Reforms Department, Bihar.
Prof. Kamal Jain, IIT Roorkee, stated, “Our GIS solution will save recurring costs, ensuring affordability for the state.”
The launch aligns with CM Nitish Kumar’s vision for transparent, high-driven governance and is expected to transform land transaction efficiency and reduce corruption and disputes in Bihar’s land management system.
