Itikyala Mandal in Telangana's Jogulamba Gadwal district has been chosen as the starting point for a new initiative aimed at settling long-pending land disputes. The state government launched this effort under the Bhu Bharati Act to make handling land issues quicker and easier for farmers.
At a recent Bhu Bharati Revenue Conference held in Gopal Dinne village, District Collector B.Y.M. Santosh explained the importance of the program. He said that instead of forcing people to travel to government offices, officials are now visiting villages directly to collect and resolve land-related complaints.
During the event, the Collector personally accepted grievances from local farmers. He highlighted that similar meetings are taking place in 28 districts across the state. This approach is designed to save time and reduce hassle for people seeking resolution to land problems.
One major benefit of these conferences is that submitting applications is completely free. Normally, filing such requests at Mee Seva centers involves a fee. But at these village events, farmers can submit their applications without paying anything.
Officials are available on-site from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM to help with form filling and answer any questions. Special help centers have also been set up in each village to guide people through the process.
The Collector promised that every application would be carefully checked and that valid cases would be resolved within one month. He encouraged all farmers with land issues to participate and make use of this unique opportunity.
Other officials present at the conference included Additional Collector Lakshmi Narayana, Itikyala Tahsildar Veerabhadrappa, Erravalli Tahsildar Naresh, MPDO Azhar Mohinuddin, and several local farmers.
This new outreach model under the Bhu Bharati Act marks a big step in making land administration more accessible and transparent for rural communities in Telangana.
