The Delhi government has instructed all land-owning departments to submit detailed information on their land parcels and immovable properties for inclusion in a centralised online system, the Delhi Asset Management Information System (DAMIS). Developed by Geospatial Delhi Limited under the IT Department, DAMIS aims to create a reliable, digitised inventory of government assets, enabling better planning, utilisation, and monitoring. Officials have appointed nodal officers, provided training, and issued user credentials. The system seeks to improve transparency, curb unauthorised occupation, and address scattered and inconsistent land records across departments.
The Delhi government has intensified efforts to manage its land assets efficiently and prevent encroachments by directing all land-owning departments to urgently submit property details for a unified online database. This initiative comes after earlier instructions failed to secure complete data from various departments, highlighting the need for a more coordinated approach. Advertisement
The information collected will be incorporated into the Delhi Asset Management Information System (DAMIS), an online platform designed to map and manage all government-owned immovable assets. DAMIS records include property location, size, ownership details, and usage status, offering a comprehensive overview for administration and planning. The platform has been developed by Geospatial Delhi Limited under the Department of Information Technology and is intended to replace the fragmented records currently spread across departments.
All divisional heads have been instructed to nominate nodal officers responsible for accurate and timely data submission in the prescribed format. Officials emphasised that the system will not only support better policy planning and asset utilisation but also enable efficient monitoring and reduce unauthorised occupation.
DAMIS addresses challenges caused by the absence of a centralised database, such as duplication, inconsistencies, and delays in record retrieval. Once fully operational, it is expected to act as a single source of information, improve transparency, and allow coordinated decision-making across departments.
Departments were trained on using the platform during a demonstration session earlier this month, and user credentials have already been issued to officials. Senior officers, including the chief secretary, have reiterated the importance of timely and accurate data entry to ensure the success of the system.
By providing a clear, digitised picture of government land, DAMIS is expected to help policymakers identify available land efficiently and plan for future infrastructure, public services, and other development projects. The system also establishes accountability in land management, ensuring departments adhere to standardised procedures for record maintenance and reporting.
