Hyderabad: The Bhubharati Act one year milestone highlights Telangana’s efforts to rebuild its land administration system and improve transparency in governance.
Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, Minister for Revenue, Housing and Information, reviewed the progress at the Secretariat. He said the reform marked a major shift toward protecting land rights and strengthening service delivery. As a result, the government positioned it as a long-term structural change.
He noted that the earlier system had weakened over time. Therefore, the government introduced the Bhubharati Act to restore accountability and simplify revenue processes. The new framework improved access to services and reduced dependency on multiple offices.
The minister also pointed out that the previous Dharani portal and Record of Rights system created challenges for landowners. People often struggled to prove ownership. In contrast, the updated system streamlined procedures and reduced disputes.
The government launched the Bhubharati portal on Ambedkar Jayanti last year. Since then, it has helped resolve long-pending land issues and gained wide public usage across the state.
Officials reported over 5.20 crore visits to the portal and around 67 lakh user logins. In addition, authorities issued nearly 3.80 lakh passbooks, reflecting increased adoption of digital services.
Bhubharati Act one year drives digital reforms
To improve efficiency, the government integrated Revenue, Survey and Stamps departments into a single platform with support from the National Informatics Centre. The integrated system began on a pilot basis in five mandals and will expand further based on feedback.
Each land parcel will receive a unique Bhudhar number, which aims to provide a permanent solution to disputes. This initiative is expected to bring clarity and consistency in land records.
The minister said 378 villages lacked proper maps since the Nizam era. Authorities have started resurvey operations using modern rover technology. They replaced outdated methods with advanced tools to improve accuracy.
The government procured 411 rovers and plans to add 400 more. It also trained and deployed over 5,520 licensed surveyors. Survey operations will gradually cover all 10,984 revenue villages across Telangana.
He added that survey numbers increased significantly over decades. Therefore, the government plans to assign Bhudhar numbers to all land parcels in phases.
The Bhubharati Act one year milestone reflects the state’s focus on ensuring land security for farmers, reducing disputes, and building a transparent land governance system.
