Bhoomi Project
When the computerization of land records started by the government of India in 1988-89, several states also showed some interest in the scheme. Bhoomi project also falls under the same category which was started by the government of Karnataka in the year 1991 and got competed in March 2002. Supported with Central Government funding, resources from the Revenue Department of Karnataka, and software designed by the Bangalore-based National Informatics Centre, the project’s data processing achievements are quite staggering. About 10,000 officials worked for 18 months for the computerization of 20 million land records which belonged to 6.7 billion landowners in 27,000 villages across Karnataka. All this was done to reduce the frauds done with the farmers due to the inaccessibility of the records to them. Available at https://landrecords.karnataka.gov.in/
