Major Step Toward Land Governance Reform

The Telangana government has taken a significant step toward reforming land administration by launching the Bhu Bharati portal in five mandals on a pilot basis. The initiative aims to improve transparency, simplify land services, and resolve long-standing land disputes through a comprehensive digital system.

The pilot project has been introduced in five selected mandals across different districts to test the platform before expanding it across the state. Officials believe this phased rollout will help identify challenges and ensure smooth implementation statewide.

Single Platform for Land Services

The Bhu Bharati portal brings multiple land-related services under one digital platform. Citizens can access land records, ownership details, mutation services, and other revenue-related information online. This move is expected to reduce the need for repeated visits to government offices and speed up land-related processes.

The portal also aims to create accurate and updated land records, reducing errors and disputes over ownership. By digitising records and integrating various departments, the government intends to make land administration more efficient and transparent.

Benefits for Farmers and Landowners

Farmers and property owners are expected to benefit significantly from the new system. They can apply for corrections, track applications, and access land information through a simplified digital process. The portal is also expected to improve accountability and reduce delays in land transactions.

Officials said the reform will help streamline services and ensure quicker resolution of issues related to land ownership and records.

Statewide Expansion Planned

Following the pilot phase, the Telangana government plans to expand the Bhu Bharati portal across all districts. Feedback from the initial implementation will be used to refine the system and strengthen its functionality.

The launch of Bhu Bharati marks a major step in modernising land governance in Telangana, with the goal of improving transparency, reducing disputes, and providing better services to citizens.
