Telangana To Launch Integrated Bhu Bharati Land Portal On Pilot Basis In 5 Mandals

Based on outcomes, necessary improvements would be made to the portal before its implementation across the state.

State Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, who held a teleconference with officials, said in a release on Wednesday that the portal has been designed with a farmer-centric approach.

He directed officials to ensure that the system functions smoothly without causing inconvenience to the public, especially farmers.

He stated that, unlike in the past, farmers would no longer need to visit 'Mee Seva' citizen-service centers for land-related services.

Through the Bhu Bharati portal, all services can now be accessed from home using a smartphone.
Once a farmer logs in, land details will be displayed, and requests for surveys can be made online along with fee payment.

After payment, the request would be forwarded to a licenced surveyor, who will issue notices to adjacent landowners within two days.

The survey date would be finalised within a week, and the survey would be completed using modern rover technology.

The data would then be verified by the Mandal Surveyor and approved by the Tahsildar, after which the applicant would be issued LPM (land parcel map) and Bhoodhar (a unique identification number for land parcels). All records would be stored in the portal.

Following the survey, a survey map would be generated and uploaded to the portal. Citizens would receive SMS alerts at every stage of the process, from application to completion, the release said.

Highlighting the significance of the initiative, Srinivasa Reddy said land issues have long been a major challenge in farmers' lives.

The Integrated Bhu Bharati Portal is a crucial step towards providing a permanent solution to land issues, ensuring transparency and enabling farmers to access all services from their homes, he said.
