Bhoo Bharati Act 2025: A New Era of Transparent Land Governance Begins in Telangana
Gadwal: Bhoo Bharati Act Will Play a Key Role in Resolving Land Disputes Swiftly – District Additional Collector Jogulamba Gadwal: The Telangana State Government's newly introduced Bhoo Bharati ROR Act 2025 is set to become a pivotal reform in addressing and resolving land-related disputes swiftly and transparently. This was stated by District Additional Collector Lakshmi Narayana, who addressed farmers during an awareness seminar on Tuesday at the Mandal Parishad Office in Ittikyala Mandal. Participating in the awareness session focused on the new Bhoo Bharati Act - 2025, the Additional Collector provided a detailed explanation of the Act's features and benefits, helping farmers understand how it would safeguard their land rights and bring justice in land matters. He stated that the government's intention behind enacting the Bhoo Bharati ROR Act is to ensure clear ownership rights to farmers and eliminate long-standing land disputes. He gave a historical overview of the evolution of land administration — from land surveys and tax systems introduced during the reign of Akbar, to the first land survey in 1923, the issuance of Pattadar Passbooks in 1971, the implementation of the original ROR Act in 1978, and new regulations in 1989. He also highlighted the launch of the Dharani portal in 2020, which, despite its initial success, had several shortcomings. Bhoo Bharati replaces Dharani with enhanced transparency and protection for landowners. The Act was officially launched on 14th April 2025, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, by the Hon'ble Chief Minister. Under this Act, citizens can now apply through the Bhoo Bharati online portal for a range of services including correction of land records, generation of survey maps, registration of succession rights, and resolution of "Sada Bainama" (informal land sale agreements). Farmers can now access quick services for registration, mutation, name changes, and land conversion processes. According to Section-8 of the Act, documents such as Civil Court decrees, Lok Adalat judgments, Revenue Court decisions, Government/Ceiling/Assigned lands, Inam ORCs, and 38-E or 13-B certificates will be reviewed and verified by the RDO. Applications submitted online will undergo field-level verification and be resolved accordingly. He emphasized the two-tier appeal system introduced under the Act, which allows disputes to be resolved by Tahsildars, RDOs, and District Collectors without the need to go to Civil Courts, ensuring timely decisions. The Additional Collector also mentioned that future services such as land maps in passbooks, Bhudhaar card issuance, and free legal aid for resolving land disputes will greatly benefit the farming community. Based on the land value, disputes will be addressed in a phased manner by RDOs and District Collectors. He noted that out of 4,000 land applications filed under Dharani in the district, 3,000 have already been resolved. With the new Bhoo Bharati Act in place, the remaining 1,000 pending applications are expected to be cleared quickly. He urged all farmers to approach their local Tahsildar offices to resolve their land issues under the new system and assured that village-level awareness sessions will be held to accelerate the dispute resolution process. He called upon farmers to understand and utilize the Bhoo Bharati Act effectively for protecting their land rights and ensuring long-term security. Also present at the event were Ittikyala Tahsildar Veerabhadrappa, Market Yard Chairman Dodappa, Vice Chairman Kumar, MPDO Ajar Mohinuddin, along with several farmers and officials.

Bhoo Bharati Act 2025: A New Era for Transparent and Secure Land Ownership
Gadwal: District Additional Collector Highlights Importance of Bhoo Bharati ROR Act in Resolving Land Disputes Swiftly Itikyala (Jogulamba Gadwala District), April 22: District Additional Collector Lakshmi Narayana emphasized that the newly introduced Bhoo Bharati ROR Act by the Telangana State Government will play a crucial role in resolving land disputes promptly and ensuring ownership rights for farmers. Participating in an awareness seminar held at the Mandal Parishad Office in Itikyala Mandal on Tuesday, the Additional Collector addressed farmers and officials about the importance, features, and benefits of the Bhoo Bharati Act – 2025. He stated that the state government introduced this Act with the goal of eliminating land-related disputes and providing complete ownership rights to farmers. Tracing the evolution of land administration, he said it began during the Mughal period with land measurement and tax systems. He highlighted milestones such as the first land survey in 1923, the introduction of Pattadar Passbooks in 1971, the ROR Act in 1978, and the new amendments in 1989. He pointed out that the Dharani portal, launched in 2020, was a significant step in land record digitization, but due to its shortcomings, the Bhoo Bharati Act has been introduced in 2025 to further strengthen land rights, transparency, and security for landowners. The Act was officially launched on April 14, 2025, on the occasion of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's Jayanti by the Chief Minister of Telangana. Key Features of the Bhoo Bharati Act: Farmers and citizens can apply for corrections in land records, survey map generation, regularization of informal agreements (Sada Bainamas), and recording of inheritance rights through the Bhoo Bharati Portal. It offers quick access to services such as registration, mutation, name changes, and land nature conversions. Under Section 8, legal documents such as civil court decrees, Lok Adalat rulings, revenue court orders, land grants, Inam ORC records, 38-E, and 13-B certifications can be uploaded and verified online. These applications will be reviewed and resolved by the RDO at the field level. A two-tier appeal system has been introduced, removing the need to approach civil courts. Decisions will now be made in a time-bound manner by Tahsildars, RDOs, and Collectors. Lakshmi Narayana also mentioned that in the future, services like land maps in passbooks, Bhoodar cards, and free legal aid for land disputes will be extended to farmers. He added that the Bhoo Bharati Act would ensure dispute resolution based on land value at RDO and District Collector levels in a phased manner. From the 4,000 applications received under the Dharani system in the district, 3,000 have already been resolved, and only 1,000 remain pending, which are expected to be completed quickly under the new Act. He urged all farmers with land-related problems to visit their local Tahsildar offices instead of waiting and assured that village-level awareness camps will be conducted to expedite resolutions. 'This law is a valuable initiative to protect land rights and prevent future conflicts. Farmers must understand and utilize the provisions of this Act,' he concluded. The event was attended by Itikyala Tahsildar Veera Bhadrappa, Market Yard Chairman Dodappa, Vice Chairman Kumar, MPDO Ajar Mohinuddin, farmers, and other stakeholders.
