Land Conference 2026
“Land is not just a resource we administer; it is the foundation of our livelihoods, our communities, and our future.”
As the Land Conference 2026 begins today, one thing is clear—land quietly shapes everything around us.
It feeds our farmers, supports our homes, protects our environment, and ultimately defines the future we pass on to our children.
But the context is changing.
With growing development pressures, expanding towns, and rising expectations, land governance today is no longer just about records and transactions—it is about systems, data, and better decisions.
This is why initiatives like ILUSP, NSDI, and NLUZ matter. They are helping us move toward integrated, coordinated, and future-ready governance.
Over the next three days, we look forward to meaningful discussions, shared learning, and practical solutions that can strengthen how we manage land as a nation.
Because ultimately—
How we manage land today will shape Bhutan tomorrow.
Let us use this opportunity to align, collaborate, and move forward together with clarity and purpose.

The National Land Commission Secretariat (NLCS) has completed the definition of the new National Geodetic Datum (DrukRef23), replacing the previous datum (DrukRef03). The update accounts for the Earth’s crustal deformation caused by tectonic movement over the past two decades since the definition of DrukRef03. NLCS has also finalized the parameters required for cadastral datum transformation, and the system is now ready for national rollout and implementation.
To support this transition, a three-day sensitization and awareness programme is being conducted for land surveyors and engineers including the private survey firms across the country.
These programmes aim to prepare technical professionals for the implementation of the new datum and to ensure a smooth transition in surveying and cadastral operations nationwide.
The first regional workshop is being held in Thimphu from 9–11 March, with over 50 participants from Thimphu, Chukha, Samtse, Paro, and Haa Dzongkhags.
Regional workshops for the remaining Dzongkhags will be conducted subsequently in Samdrup Jongkhar and Tsirang.

Background A conflict of interest has arisen among Dzongkhag land record officials due to their involvement in initiating land transactions on behalf of clients.

*Basic QGIS & Geo-Spatial Training for Land Record Officials*

The 5-day Basic QGIS & Geo-spatial Training for 20 Land Record officials from NLCS, Dzongkhags, and Thromdes was successfully conducted at NLCS from March 2nd to 6th, 2026. Funded by the Government of India (PTA), the program went beyond basic software use to cover the technical foundations of mapping, including Geodesy, GNSS principles, and the history of cadastral surveying in Bhutan. Throughout the week, participants practiced linking Thram records with digital maps, performing spatial analysis, and using mobile tools like QField for field data collection. By integrating these geo-spatial skills with the Bhutan NSDI system, our officials are now better equipped to manage land records with modern technology and greater efficiency.
