Answer:

C. Land Records

Read Explanation:

  • Digitization of Land Records: The primary function of the project, launched in the year 2000, was to computerize all the manual Record of Rights, Tenancy, and Crops (RTC) documents (also known as Pahani), which detail land ownership, area, soil type, and other agricultural information.

  • Online Access: It provides citizens, especially farmers, easy and quick access to their official, tamper-proof land records on demand through dedicated kiosks (or online), eliminating the need to interact with village officials for basic record copies.

  • Transparency and Accountability: Bhoomi introduced a system for the electronic management of Mutations (changes in ownership due to sale, inheritance, etc.), using a "First-In-First-Out" (FIFO) system and biometric authentication for officials, significantly reducing delays, corruption, and the manipulation of land records.

  • Model Project: Bhoomi is widely regarded as one of India's most successful e-governance initiatives and has served as a model for the computerization of land records in other states across the country.
