Revenue, Housing and Information & Public Relations Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy announced that the Congress government has rebuilt the completely collapsed revenue system of Telangana in just two years, introducing revolutionary reforms for the people’s convenience.

Addressing a press conference at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat on Wednesday, the Minister said that under the guidance of Hon’ble Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, the new comprehensive single-window digital platform — Bhu Bharati portal — will be launched by the end of January 2026. This portal will fully integrate Revenue, Survey and Registration departments and completely replace the controversial Dharani portal and its app. A new mobile app with all features will also be rolled out next month. Unlike Dharani, Bhu Bharati will include survey maps and records even for gunta lands without maps, ensuring dispute-free and fully secure land records.

The Minister revealed that steps have been initiated to assign unique Bhudhaar numbers to all 2.29 crore survey numbers in the State. A pilot project has already been successfully completed in five villages across four regions among the 413 revenue villages without Naksha- Bhudhaar cards — similar to a bank passbook containing complete records, survey maps, boundaries, coordinates and full security features — are ready for these villages and will be formally launched by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy after the local body elections. The rollout will be in phases: first the 413 naksha villages, second phase starting December in 373 rural no Naksha villages, and third phase covering 70 villages per district. Surveys in remaining Naxal-affected villages will commence post-elections.

All eligible land applications received under the Bhu Bharati Act (over 9 lakh) will be cleared by January-end; 6.45 lakh applications have already been resolved. Forensic audits to expose past irregularities are complete in two districts and will be extended State-wide shortly. Land, Survey and Registration departments are being brought under one umbrella for seamless service.

Dharani portal management has been shifted from foreign firm Terasis to the central government’s NIC, bringing records of 1.56 crore acres of Telangana farmers’ land under secure indigenous control. Over 9 lakh applications received during the three-phase Bhu Bharati Revenue Sadassus are under active resolution. As promised, 10,954 revenue villages have been reorganised into clusters with Gram Panchayat Officers appointed. Nearly 3,500 licensed surveyors have been deployed, with another 2,500 joining this month.

Slot booking and Aadhaar-based e-signatures have been implemented across 144 Sub-Registrar offices, ending long queues. Modern integrated Sub-Registrar offices are being constructed in phases.

Responding to BRS criticism on the HILTP (Industrial) policy, the Minister accused the previous regime’s Municipal Minister of arbitrarily converting land after accepting bribes and assured that all conversions done during the BRS tenure will be made public.

Revenue Secretary Lokesh Kumar, Stamps & Registration Secretary Rajiv Gandhi Hanumanthu and other officials were present.
