Revolutionizing Land Records: Telangana’s Bhu Bharati Portal Set for Grand Launch
In a transformative move for digital governance with BhuBharati.gov.in, Telangana’s Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced the official launch of the Bhu Bharati Portal on 14th April. Designed to streamline land-related transactions and empower farmers, this portal promises to redefine transparency and accessibility in land record management. During a high-level review meeting at his residence, the CM emphasized the portal’s role in resolving decades-old land disputes and simplifying bureaucratic processes.
Pilot Project in Three Mandals: A Blueprint for Statewide Success
To ensure seamless implementation, the state government will initiate a pilot project across three mandals post-launch. These mandals will serve as testing grounds to identify challenges and optimize the portal’s functionality. District Collectors will oversee awareness programs to educate farmers and citizens about the BhuBharati.gov.in platform’s features, from checking land ownership details to filing grievances. The CM stressed, “Every query raised during these sessions must be addressed promptly to build public trust.”
Awareness Campaigns in Every Mandal: Bridging the Digital Divide
Recognizing the need for grassroots engagement, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy mandated statewide awareness drives in all 600+ mandals. Local officials, including Revenue Department teams, will conduct workshops, leveraging pamphlets, videos, and live demonstrations. Key focus areas include:
- User-friendly navigation for farmers with limited digital literacy.
- Multilingual support (Telugu, Urdu, and English) to cater to diverse communities.
- Real-time updates on land mutations, transactions, and dispute resolutions.
Strengthening the Portal Through Public Feedback: A Collaborative Approach
The Bhu Bharati Portal isn’t just a static tool—it’s a dynamic platform evolving with citizen input. The CM directed officials to integrate a public feedback mechanism to gather suggestions and address technical glitches. “Farmers know their pain points best. Their insights will shape this portal into a truly people-centric solution,” he remarked. Additionally, the accompanying Bhu Bharati mobile app will undergo regular updates to enhance accessibility for smartphone users.
High-Level Collaboration: Key Stakeholders Driving the Initiative
The review meeting saw participation from top officials, including Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Principal Secretary V. Sheshadri, and Revenue Secretary Jyoti Budda Prakash. Their collective expertise will ensure coordination between revenue departments, cybersecurity teams, and local administrations. The CM also highlighted the need for data security measures to protect sensitive land records from breaches.
Why the Bhu Bharati Portal Matters for Telangana’s Future
- Transparency in Land Transactions: Reduce corruption by digitizing records.
- Empowering Farmers: Instant access to land titles reduces dependency on intermediaries.
- Economic Growth: Clear land ownership boosts investor confidence in rural and urban projects.
Looking Ahead: Scaling Up for a Digitally Inclusive Telangana
Post-pilot, the government plans to expand the portal’s features, including integration with Aadhaar-linked authentication and GIS mapping for precise land demarcation. With its launch, Telangana joins states like Karnataka and Maharashtra in pioneering Agri-tech innovation, setting a benchmark for smart governance in India.
