Bhoomi: Karnataka Land Records

Karnataka Land Records

The online land conversion process is a unique and fantastic idea that brings transparency and accountability in the process and restrict delays and corruption in the system. Corruption is one of the major issues that affect the economic system of our nation. Government of India has taken many initiatives to stop the corruption process. Karnataka has been at the forefront ever since the introduction of this scheme. This is the first state in India that has digitized all the land-related records through the Bhoomi project.

Digital India Land Record Modernisation Programme (DILRMP) – This was launched by the centre in 2008. The main target of initiating such programme was to make sure about better maintenance of the land records, along with improving transparency in the entire process. The programme has taken the below measures:

Computerisation of land records
map digitalisation
conduction of surveys
setting up of modern record rooms
