New Land Disputes Resolution System Introduced Through "Bhoo Bharati Act": District Collector B.M. Santosh
Gadwal: District Collector B.M. Santosh stated that the Telangana State Government has introduced a revolutionary new system under the "Bhoo Bharati Act-2025" to resolve land-related disputes at the district level itself. On Saturday, the Collector attended an awareness conference organized at Gattu Mandal regarding the "Bhoo Bharati Act-2025" as the chief guest. Speaking on the occasion, he elaborated on various aspects of the Act and provided a clear understanding of the law to farmers. Addressing the gathering, Collector B.M. Santosh emphasized that the Telangana government has introduced the Bhoo Bharati Act to resolve long-pending land disputes faced by farmers. He explained that the new law has been implemented in place of the earlier "Dharani" system to secure land rights. He further detailed that services such as land transactions, registration, mutation, rectification of prohibited lands, Record of Rights (RoR) amendments, inheritance issues, simple sale agreements (Sada Bainamas), and services like ORC (Online Record Corrections) will now become much easier and faster under the Bhoo Bharati Act. Just as individuals have Aadhaar cards for identity, land will now be assigned a unique "Bhoodhaar" number, ensuring protection against encroachments, the Collector informed. He also added that farmers can apply at MeeSeva centers for any land-related issues, and solutions would be provided within a specified timeframe. Unlike the previous Dharani system, where disputes had to be taken directly to civil courts without appeal provisions, the new Bhoo Bharati Act-2025 introduces a formal appellate structure. Farmers can now appeal from Tahsildar to RDO, RDO to Collector, and Collector to the Land Tribunal. The Collector assured that, under the new law, land disputes would be resolved within a fixed timeframe. Despite Gattu Mandal receiving the highest number of applications in the district, 90% of the cases have already been resolved, and efforts are underway to address the remaining cases promptly, he said. To further strengthen the system, the government will soon appoint Village Administrative Officers (VAOs) at the village level to resolve land disputes more effectively. Following these awareness programs, revenue officers will conduct village-wise revenue conferences to accept applications and resolve issues. Collector Santosh encouraged every farmer to learn about the new Bhoo Bharati Act and the updated Record of Rights (RoR) system, making the best use of this opportunity to safeguard their land rights. During the program, doubts and queries raised by several farmers were addressed and clarified. Additional Collector Lakshmi Narayana, Gattu Tahsildar Saleemuddin, MPDO Chennayya, officials from various departments, and a large number of farmers participated in the program.

Bhoo Bharati Act 2025: A Game-Changer for Resolving Land Disputes, Says Additional Collector
Gadwal: Additional District Collector Lakshmi Narayana emphasized that the newly introduced Bhoo Bharati Act - 2025, launched by the state government, is a significant step toward resolving long-standing land disputes and urged farmers to gain a complete understanding of its provisions. Speaking at an awareness seminar on Wednesday held at the Rythu Vedika in K.T. Doddi mandal, the Collector informed farmers about the key features and implementation process of the new law. He stated that the government had formulated the Bhoo Bharati Act with the sole aim of addressing land-related issues. The Act was designed by a team of experts and senior officials, taking into account the evolution of land administration and previous efforts such as land surveys, passbooks, and the R.O.R. Act. Lakshmi Narayana explained that the Bhoo Bharati Act aims to resolve various unresolved issues that were not addressed by the Dharani portal. The Act was formally launched by the Chief Minister on the occasion of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti, incorporating the opinions and concerns of farmers to ensure their welfare. Highlighting a key difference, he noted that while the Dharani system had 33 modules—causing confusion among farmers—the Bhoo Bharati system simplifies the application process by limiting it to just 6 modules. This, he said, will help farmers apply easily according to their specific issues. A comprehensive appeals system has also been introduced, allowing farmers to escalate land disputes from the Tahsildar level to the CCLA (Chief Commissioner of Land Administration) level. The new law also provides provisions for correcting errors in land records. As part of the registration or mutation process, a mandatory land survey and preparation of maps will be required, allowing updates to land extent and ownership details. He also assured that pending Sada Bainamas (unregistered agreements of sale) would be resolved under this Act. Tahsildars are directed to investigate such applications within 30 days, after which automatic mutation will occur. Furthermore, like an Aadhaar card for individuals, each land parcel will be assigned a unique Bhoodhar number, which will help prevent encroachments. Lakshmi Narayana also mentioned that village-level awareness programs would be conducted to resolve local land issues quickly. Initially, the Bhoo Bharati Act will be piloted in four mandals across the state, followed by one mandal in each district. Necessary changes will be made based on feedback before the law is rolled out across the entire state. He called on all farmers to understand and make use of the Bhoo Bharati Act, as it would serve as an important tool in protecting land rights and ensuring justice in land-related matters. The program was attended by RDO Srinivasa Rao, Library Corporation Chairman Neeli Srinivasulu, Gadwal Market Yard Chairman Nalla Hanumanthu, K.T. Doddi Tahsildar Hari Krishna, along with several farmers and officials.
