Bhu Bharathi to streamline records, make State land-dispute-free State: Ponguleti
Telangana Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy announced the Bhu Bharathi Act, 2025, aimed at digitizing land records and eliminating disputes. The initiative replaces the previous Dharani portal and introduces unique 'Bhoodhar' identification numbers for land parcels.
Why it matters
Land record modernization is critical for economic stability and reducing litigation in rural India, serving as a key political benchmark for the state government.
Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has said the implementation of Telangana Bhu Bharathi (Record of Rights in Land) Act, 2025, would serve as a “referendum” on the Congress government’s performance in the next elections.
Speaking at a land resurvey awareness meeting at Narayanapuram village in Sathupalli mandal of Khammam district on Thursday, he said re-surveys were being conducted using advanced rover technology in a transparent and accountable manner to streamline land records within a year. The exercise is aimed at transforming Telangana into a land-dispute-free State, he added.
The Minister alleged that some BRS leaders were resorting to false propaganda against the Congress government over the “Section 22A lands” for political gains. He alleged that they were trying to protect land parcels that had been illegally acquired through transactions on the Dharani portal during the previous BRS government.
