West Singhbhum was among these distinguished districts.

Chosen for this honour, West Singhbhum stands among nine districts in the state engaged in the DILRMP.

Other districts include Chatra, Dumka, Giridih, Gumla, Khunti, Lohardaga, Seraikela-Kharsawan, and Simdega.

These nine districts have successfully completed more than 99% of the task of digitizing sale deeds, Khatiyans, and other land-related documents.
