Bhu Suraksha: Karnataka goes paperless for land records
"If the documents people require are not digitised so far, the department will digitise them on priority and issue them to the applicants within seven days," revenue commissioner P Sunil Kumar said.
For the land records already digitised, applicants will receive the documents on the same day of requisition. The shift is aimed at reducing the dependency on govt offices and ensuring quick and easy access to documents.

Revenue minister Krishna Byre Gowda said all certified A and B category records are now available digitally at nadakacheris. "Category A records are very important documents of lands that should be stored permanently, and category B records should be stored for up to 30 years," he added.
Gowda added the department will soon extend the digital document issuance service to Bapuji Seva Kendras located in gram panchayats to ensure accessibility across rural areas.
"We will make necessary arrangements to issue the digitised land documents at Bapuji Seva Kendras in rural areas within the next six months," he said.
Taking a serious note of the poor performance, Gowda criticised the district authorities. "Under the Bhu Suraksha scheme, Bengaluru Urban district issued only 27 pages. Being the capital of IT industries, it is shameful," the minister told officials at a recent review meeting.
He instructed the revenue commissioner to issue a notice to the Anekal tehsildar for failing to implement the scheme and not issuing a single document despite a clear directive.
Citizens unable to access the portal directly can still approach nadakacheris or taluk offices to obtain the digitised records. The department has also planned assistance programmes to help those not familiar with online services. As of Thursday, 53 individuals applied online and received 217 pages of documents. The govt aims to expand the reach by linking the service with all taluk and gram-level service centres.

Trump is either blind or ill-informed: Former PM HD Deve Gowda
NEW DELHI: Amidst the govt's strong assertion in the wake of US's 25% tariff imposition that the country will protect its interests, former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Friday reacted angrily to American President Donald Trump 's remarks on India, calling him the most "volatile, uncivil and irresponsible" head of state in modern history. In a statement, the JD(S) leader said he was "surprised" by Trump's "baseless and ill-tempered remarks" on India and the Indian economy. "I don't think modern history has seen another head of state who has been so volatile, uncivil and irresponsible. Mr Trump has behaved badly not just with India, but with every other country across the world. He has not spared his own longstanding allies," Gowda said. Responding to Trump's characterisation of Indian economy as "dead", the former prime minister said, "India has been the fastest growing economy and is the fifth largest economy in the globe. Mr Trump must either be blind or ill-informed to designate our economy as 'dead'." He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's govt for standing firm against Trump's "bullying". "I am very happy and proud that India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has not compromised our national interest. It has not blinked to Mr Trump's bullying and has shown that it will never be dictated by threat." Gowda also rebuked some opposition leaders who had "rejoiced" at the statements of Trump and "jumped to be his deluded spokespersons in India".

Deve Gowda terms Trump's statement on Indian economy ‘volatile, uncivil and irresponsible'
Bengaluru Terming the recent statement of the U.S. President Donald Trump on India and Indian economy as 'volatile, uncivil and irresponsible', the former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda on Friday said that India would never succumb to bullying or threats from any country. Mr. Trump took a sharp jab at India and Russia and their economies recently, calling them 'dead economies'. 'Fundamentally wrong' 'Like everybody else, I too am surprised by Mr. Trump's baseless and ill-tempered remarks on India and Indian economy. I don't think modern history has seen another head of state who has been so volatile, uncivil and irresponsible,' Mr. Gowda said in a statement. 'Mr. Trump has not just behaved badly with India, but with every other country across the world. He has not spared his own longstanding allies. There is something fundamentally wrong with him which reason, diplomacy or statecraft cannot diagnose and address,' Mr. Gowda said. He said that even a small trader and a poor farmer in India, who conducts his business with great dignity, integrity and humanity, can teach many lessons to the U.S. President.

While appreciating Prime Minister Narendra Modi for 'not comprising national interest', Mr. Gowda said that the nation had not blinked to Mr. Trump's bullying tactics and had shown that it would never be dictated by threat. On opposition Taking on the Opposition, Mr. Gowda said, 'Some Opposition leaders have rejoiced Mr. Trump's statements and have jumped to be his deluded spokespersons in India.

The Janata Dal (Secular), headed by Mr. Gowda, has two seats in Lok Sabha and one in the Rajya Sabha and is a constituent of the BJP-led NDA. Mr. Gowda's son and former Karnataka Chief Minister H.D.
