Telangana's Bhu Bharati Portal: Digital Land Records, End to Irregularities

• Telangana government launches new Bhu Bharati portal (https://bhubharati.telangana.gov.in) to digitize land records and prevent irregularities.
• The portal provides comprehensive land information, including survey maps, cultivable/uncultivated land status, and boundary details, reducing the need to visit multiple departments.
• Services like property registration, mutation, and obtaining Encumbrance Certificates (ECs) will be available, with full implementation expected from January.
• Officials can now easily verify land use, preventing unauthorized conversion of cultivable land, thus curbing irregularities in the Stamps and Registrations Department.
• From January, Bhudhaar cards, similar to Aadhaar, will be issued to farmers, enabling easier bank loans and mortgages, with bankers verifying land details via Bhu Bharati.

Why It Matters: Telangana's Bhu Bharati portal digitizes land records, curbing irregularities and simplifying land services.
