Proud Moment for NLCS!….The National Land Commission Secretariat (NLCS) has been awarded 3rd Place at the Civil Service Innovation Day for its innovative proposal to scale up myNLCS into a government-wide digital correspondence and citizen service platform.

What started as an in-house document tracking system has evolved into a powerful digital solution that has transformed the way NLCS manages official correspondence—eliminating lost documents, improving accountability, reducing postage costs, and enabling real-time tracking of cases and services. Today, the system has processed tens of thousands of official correspondences and serves hundreds of users across the land sector.

The proposed next phase envisions a unified government platform where agencies can securely exchange documents, citizens can submit applications online and track progress in real time, and decision-makers can monitor performance through integrated dashboards.

This recognition reaffirms the power of homegrown innovation in driving a more efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric public service. Congratulations to the team behind myNLCS for contributing to the vision of an Enlightened Entrepreneurial Bureaucracy (E2B)!

Strengthening Trust, Certainty, and Accuracy in Bhutan’s Land Governance
Today, we proudly launched three important initiatives that will strengthen Bhutan’s land governance system:
✅ Consent Management Module (CMM) in eSakor – enhancing security, transparency, and trust in land transactions.
✅ Strata Rules and Regulations 2026 – providing a clear framework for the ownership, management, and governance of strata properties.
✅ DrukRef23 – Bhutan’s new National Geodetic Datum, establishing a modern and accurate foundation for surveying, mapping, infrastructure development, and land administration.
While different in purpose, all three initiatives contribute to a common goal: strengthening trust in transactions, certainty in ownership, and accuracy in information.
As Bhutan advances towards smarter governance and digital transformation, we remain committed to delivering public services that are more reliable, transparent, and citizen-centric.

📢 Public Announcement

The National Land Commission Secretariat (NLCS) is pleased to announce the pilot rollout of the Consent Management Module (CMM) under the eSakor system in Thimphu, Phuentsholing, and Paro starting from 2nd June 2026. Accordingly, all land
transactions in these three Dzongkhags will be required to obtain consent before processing, with effect from 2nd June 2026.

The Consent Management Module (CMM) is a new feature that enables landowners, family members, and witnesses to provide their consent digitally during land transactions. This ensures that all parties involved are informed and have formally agreed before any transaction is processed.

🎯 Why it matters

✔️Protects landowners’ rights
✔️Improves transparency & accountability
✔️Ensures no stakeholder is left uninformed

⚙️ Key Features
✔️ Mandatory consent from all parties
✔️ Additional verification before transactions
✔️ Secure access via National Digital Identity (NDI)
✔️ Inclusive system for those without digital access

📢 Further information and guidance materials will be made available on our official platforms, including our website and Instagram, to guide citizens on how to use the system.

The National Land Commission Secretariat (NLCS) is pleased to announce that a comprehensive 5-day Geospatial Training Program officially commenced today at Hotel Thimphu Deluxe.
​This intensive program brings together over 40 participants from diverse professional backgrounds, including members of the ILUSP Technical Working Group (TWG) and key officials from multiple sectors.
​Building Expertise and Collaboration
​The training is specifically designed to enhance practical skills in ArcGIS Pro and Quantum GIS (QGIS). By focusing on advanced spatial analysis and GIS concepts, the initiative ensures that sectoral data and plans are effectively integrated into the broader Integrated Land Use and Spatial Planning (ILUSP) framework.
​Beyond technical skill-building, this program serves as a vital platform for:
​Networking: Connecting GIS practitioners across various government agencies.
​Coordination: Fostering long-term collaboration on national spatial priorities.
​Knowledge Sharing: Encouraging a unified approach to data management.
​Expert-Led Technical Support
​To ensure a high-quality learning experience, the engineers, GIS officers, and technicians of the Geoinformatics Division are facilitating the sessions. They are actively engaged throughout the week as both Resource Persons and technical support leads, providing hands-on guidance to all participants.
​Aligning with National Goals
​This initiative is a critical step toward a data-driven future, aligning with the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) to promote sustainable development and efficient land governance across the Kingdom.
