System Launch

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.
