Deepika Jha has a Masters in Planning with specialisation in Regional Planning from the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi. Over the past three years, Deepika has been part of an IIHS team studying land records modernisation and e-governance initiatives in different states/ union-territories of India. She has worked on issues around land records management, their modernisation, related technical and institutional aspects, and their linkages to planning and municipal practices in urban and peri-urban areas. As part of various projects, she has also worked on identifying the good practices followed by different states in land records administration, as well as any persistent gaps in the systems. Her work cuts across the rural-urban continuum, and in the process she has engaged with various officers from the urban administration and land records departments of various states, and found the experience enriching and humbling.

 

Trained as a physical and regional planner, Deepika’s research interests are around land governance and planning practices. She enjoys data visualisation, especially through simplified maps and graphics.
