“Land services will now be available to the public efficiently and transparently without having to go through various offices,” he said.

He pointed out that the survey of 4.8 lakh hectares of land across 35.2 lakh parcels in 212 villages has been completed thus far. The services of the Ente Bhoomi portal will be extended across all the digitally surveyed 212 villages, commencing with the Ujarulvar village, within three months.
