This video discusses new Kerala land laws, India, and highlights the importance of landowners being aware of them to avoid losing their land. Key points include:
Revenue Card: A Revenue Card with a 10-digit number and QR code will be available from November 1st in villages where digital resurvey is complete, providing easy access to land and building details.
Digital Survey: Kerala is undergoing a digital survey to create accurate and transparent land records using modern equipment for precise boundary definitions.
“Ente Bhoomi” Portal: The “Ente Bhoomi” (My Land) integrated government portal has been launched by the Revenue, Registration, and Survey departments to offer land services through a single window.
Survey Process & Public Involvement: The process involves Gazette notifications, ward-level survey meetings, confirmation of landowner details, field surveys with landowner presence, phone number linking to land records, public inspection of records, and a complaint redressal system.
Importance of Landowner Participation: Landowners are urged to attend survey meetings, register on the “Ente Bhoomi” portal, provide ownership documents, ensure clear boundary markers, and verify details during and after the survey to ensure accuracy and avoid future complications.
The “Ente Bhoomi” portal and the ongoing digital resurvey are revolutionary steps by the Kerala government to modernize land administration. This integrated system aims to bring unprecedented transparency and efficiency to land records, significantly reducing disputes and manual errors.
While the digital resurvey is still in progress and expected to miss its initial 2026 completion deadline, with approximately one-third of the target covered so far, the “Ente Bhoomi” portal already offers a range of services including online land registration, tax payment, pre-mutation overview, e-maps, and encumbrance certificate issuance. This initiative positions Kerala as a pioneer in digital land management, serving as a model for other states in India to adopt similar comprehensive digital land information systems.
