Karnataka Revenue Department Digitizes Land Records Across State
The Revenue Department in Karnataka is switching from old, handwritten land records to new, digital ones.
This means that instead of paper documents, people will get their land records online.
This change is happening in all taluk offices and will soon include the citizen service centers.
If the records are ready, people will get them quickly, within a day.
The government is also working to scan all old records, with millions of pages already digitized.
This makes it easier and faster to get land records and keeps the records safe.
Karnataka's Revenue Department has replaced handwritten land records with digital ones.
Digital land records are now mandatory across all 240 taluk offices.
Citizens will receive digital records within a day if already scanned and verified.
The 'Bhoosuraksha' initiative aims to digitize all land records.
Over 32 crore pages have been scanned out of an estimated 100 crore.
