Discover Bhoomi: Karnataka's Digital Land Records System

The Land Records Management System, known as Bhoomi, was introduced by the Government of Karnataka in 2000 to facilitate access to land records digitally, replacing the manual method with digital Records of Rights (RTCs).

Citizens, particularly farmers, can access Bhoomi offices to apply for RTCs by submitting the required documents. They can track their application status using an acknowledgment number. The platform also enables online access to Karnataka's land records.
