Finally, a Plan That Brings Peace of Mind to Landless Families!
In a bold and heartwarming move, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has shared some truly game-changing news — the Karnataka government is launching the ‘Bhoo Guarantee’ scheme that aims to hand over land ownership documents to more than 1 crore people across the state!
Let’s break it down in a friendly, simple way
What’s New?
For years, thousands of families in Karnataka have been living on land without official documents. Now, the state government is changing that story — for good.
Under the Bhoo Guarantee scheme, the government will provide official land records to those who have built homes on revenue or private lands — especially benefiting the Scheduled Castes, Backward Classes, and landless citizens.
Why It Matters
Now, with this scheme:
- Over 1.11 crore land documents are being prepared.
- People will get official title deeds through the Tahsildar’s office.
- Once registered, these lands cannot be sold for 15 years, ensuring safety and preventing exploitation.
- And guess what? Even the registration fees are being waived for now!
When Will This Happen?
The scheme is already in motion!
During preparations for the government’s two-year celebration event in Hosapete, Vijayanagara, DK Shivakumar proudly revealed that land records are being handed over very soon, taluk-by-taluk.
a massive 1,11,11,111 property documents are already ready.
Who Is It For?
- Families living on revenue or private land without official documents.
- Especially targeted at Dalits, Backward Communities, and those who’ve been homeless on paper for decades.
- Farmers too are seeing benefits — in Vijayanagara district alone, over 79,000 farmers have already received proper documentation!
Smart Governance: A New Model for India
Shivakumar proudly stated:
“We are doing what wasn’t done even in 100 years… This isn’t just a celebration of two years in power, this is about repaying people’s trust with real change.”
What’s the Process Like?
Here’s how the plan works:
- The government identifies lands where people have lived for years.
- These lands are taken under government ownership.
- Tahsildars are made temporary owners on behalf of the state.
- Land is then gifted to the people via official registration, all done in a legal and secure way.
- No selling allowed for 15 years – protecting people from land sharks!
