Nilam is a Malayalam word that means wetland or paddy land. Purayidam is a Malayalam word that means dry land. To convert nilam to purayidam, you will need to apply to the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) in your district. The RDO will assess your application and determine if it is eligible for conversion. If your application is approved, you will be required to pay a fee. The fee will vary depending on the size of your land and the location of your land. Once you have paid the fee, the RDO will issue a certificate of conversion. This certificate will allow you to build on your land or use it for any other purpose that is permitted by law.

Here are the steps on how to convert nilam to purayidam:

1. Collect the following documents:
   • A copy of the title deed for your land
   • A recent survey plan of your land
   • A copy of your identity proof
   • A copy of your address proof
2. Fill out the application form for land conversion.
3. Submit the application form along with the required documents to the RDO in your district.
4. Pay the conversion fee.
5. Wait for the RDO to approve your application.
6. Once your application is approved, you will receive a certificate of conversion.
7. You can now build on your land or use it for any other purpose that is permitted by law.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when converting nilam to purayidam:

• You may not be able to convert all types of nilam land to purayidam. For example, if your land is located in a flood-prone area, you may not be able to convert it to purayidam.
• You may need to obtain permission from the local panchayat or municipality before you can convert your land.
• You may need to comply with certain environmental regulations before you can convert your land.

It is important to consult with a lawyer or a land surveyor before you begin the process of converting nilam to purayidam. They can help you understand the legal requirements and ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
