Karnataka Revenue Department Digitizes Land Records
The government in Karnataka is making land records digital.
This means they're stopping the old way of using paper and handwritten documents.
Now, people will get their land papers online.
If the papers are ready, you'll get them fast, maybe even in a day.
The government is scanning all the old paper records so they can be stored safely online.
This should make things faster and easier for everyone who needs to access land documents.
Karnataka's Revenue Department is discontinuing handwritten land records, switching to digital.
Digital land records will be provided across all 240 Tahsildar offices.
Digitization aims to reduce delays, potentially delivering records within one day if scanned.
The 'Bhoo Suraksha' project is digitizing land records, with scanning underway in numerous taluks.
Officials estimate over 100 crore pages need digitization, with 32 crore pages already scanned.
