What is Maa Bhoomi?

Today technology has reached everywhere and there is hardly any sphere of life which is untouched by it. India being one of the fastest developing country is getting digitalized day by day and recent internet growth in India is unlike anything in the history of commercial internet and even as the rate at which people are coming online is not very fast, India is working towards making internet more affordable for its people to scale continuous growth. Both the state and central government are working on digitization of their departments in order to provide most of the services online to the general mass and Telengana State Government has walked one step further in the direction of digitization of its departments by taking an initiative by the name of Maa Bhoomi.

Maa Bhoomi Telangana Land Records

The Government of Telangana is working round the clock for the benefit of its people and very oftenly comes up with schemes to make life of the Telengana people easier and comfortable by arranging the facilities and making them accessible as well and since majority of Telengana population belongs to the agricultural background, Telengana State Government has come up with Maa Bhoomi to make life easy for the farmers and making their job easy if they want to know about their land without visiting MeeSeva centre. Telengana State Government in association with NIC Hyderabad has developed Maa bhoomi i.e. an online land record website for the state and it was launced in February 2016.

The prime reason behind the launch of Maa Bhoomi website was that maintenance and upkeep of physical documents in files and folders need proper maintenance, storage and manual labour. Also it is difficult and at times impossible to find data stored in the physical files and folders and Telengana being a big state was facing problem in storing its land records and to give information to people about their land was another uphill task Telengana State Government was not willing to do and thus it came up with the solution of digitising all land records and thus the idea of Maa Bhoomi was conceptualised and implemented and to add one more feather to its cap Telengana State Government has also launched the app version of Maa Bhoomi which is available for all android users and thus they can access and Maa Bhoomi, as appears from its name means our land and was launched with the objective of helping landowners and cultivators to go through the government records of their own land online rather than approaching the concerned office everytime for getting information. Telengana State Government launched Maa Bhoomi website and it was launched by then Chief Minister Sri. K.Chandrasekhar Rao. Land records of 10 Telengana States i.e. Rangareddy, Medak, Hyderabad, Mahaboobnagar, Nalgonda, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Warangal and Khammam are available on Maa Bhoomi website and same can be accessed by the common people. Also details like extent of land, survey number, owner name/Pattadar name, tax, nature of the land and crop and other relevant details related to land is available and can be accessed by its people.
