Bhu-Aadhaar: Revolutionizing Land Records Digitization

The Hindu  

Bhu-Aadhaar aims to digitize land records, In the Union Budget 2024, the government planned to digitize the land records for rural and urban regions. There are five States in India that have separate land records for city and rural properties: They are Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. The State of Andhra Pradesh has the best practice of land records maintenance than other States of India as Bhu-Aadhaar is also linked with Aadhaar numbers of all owners of the land. A special question of such properties is that, for example, in many States, the details of plot layout approval and land geo-coordinate details are not indicated in title transfer documents. Currently, most of the rural land records in several States are measured in other vernacular terms such as bigha, biswa, biswani, kanal, marla, decimal, cents, guntas, etc.
