Karnataka Amends Land Law for Coorg's Unique Jamma Bane System

The Karnataka government has changed its land laws to help people in the Coorg (now Kodagu) district.

This area has a special way of recording land ownership that goes back to the time of the British and local kings.

The old records still show the names of the original landowners, even though the land has been passed down to new generations.

This made it hard for people to sell their land or get loans.

The new law will let local officials update the records to show the current owners.

This will make it easier for people to manage their land and solve problems that have come up over time.
