In Telangana, the state-wide ‘Revenue Sadassulu’ or Revenue Conferences held at the village level during the past over 15 days to resolve long-pending land disputes have received more than eight and a half lakhs applications. The state government has taken the initiative as part of the implementation of the Bhu Bharati Act to resolve agricultural land issues at the village and mandal levels.

In three phases, about 10 thousand Revenue Conferences have been held in three phases across the state. Revenue officials were stationed in every village to receive complaints and grievances directly from people. The programme was designed to correct lapses in the state’s revenue records, especially in the Dharani portal brought during the BRS regime and bring transparency to land administration.

Revenue Minister P Srinivas Reddy has directed the revenue officials to upload all the applications online for quicker processing and resolution. In a review meeting held yesterday in Hyderabad, the minister stated that the revenue system is now undergoing a comprehensive reform. He called the Bhu Bharati Act a cornerstone of this transformation. The Bhu Bharati Act, which replaced the earlier Dharani System, was launched in April this year and is being implemented in phases. The minister emphasised the government’s commitment to addressing farmers’ issues through transparent and accountable governance.
