Abstract

India is an agrarian economy, agriculture is the back bone, which supports the nation. These farmers who shoulder the noble responsibility of feeding the nation have been exploited from time immemorial. Legislation such as ‘tiller is the owner of land’, ‘imposition of land ceilings’ or ‘movement such as Bhoodana’ during the era of independence has no doubt brought some relief to the farming segment, but the socio-economic condition of the farmers community has not witnessed drastic improvement. The poor land management practices identified have adversely affected the productivity. Therefore, to address this issue, a well defined, more structured land right system needs to be developed. Government of Karnataka has initiated e-governance through services like Bhoomi (computerization of land records), Kaveri (registration after verification), Mojini (measurement of properties). Out of all these ‘Bhoomi’ is definitely a mile stone service, its planning and implementation is being applauded and replicated all over the world as this was seen as more effective and promising approach to address land rights related problems.
