A decade-old land issue in Narayanapuram village of Kesamudram mandal in the district was resolved in just six weeks thanks to the Dharani portal. To date, 225 farmers have received pattadar pass books for an extent of 484.03 acres.
This village has a total of 1827.12 acres of land and was formed as a Revenue village on May 31, 2018 under 43 survey numbers. However, due to technical difficulties, the new Revenue Village and its survey numbers were not visible on online revenue records.
Furthermore, a particular issue arose involving six survey numbers totaling 1420.12 acres, which initially had patta numbers, were later notified under forest and dis-reserved, and were then transacted through registration in 1963.
However, entries in ‘pahanies’ continued to be made in the name of Forest, and land possessors (farmers) were reflected under the occupant’s column the years. Only a few of the over 800 farmers in these six survey numbers were able to obtain physical (old) pattadar pass books.
After the village data was ported in May 2022, the administration uploaded the farmer applications in Dharani TM 33 in a camp mode, due to the large number of farmer interests involved.

With the Chief Secretary’s (CS) approval, the notice period, eKYC requirements, and charges were waived in order to expedite these requests.
“Following this, notices were generated for the applications received, obtained enquiry reports from the field, verified against available copies of PPBs / entries in ‘pahanies’, available enjoyment survey details and processed. Out of these, 366 applications have been processed (approved) pertaining to an extent of 688.05 acres of the land,” District Collector K Shashanka was reported as saying.
“All farmers’ applications in these six survey numbers with a copy of old PPB/ entry in ‘pahani’ were attended to. To enable a new PPB generation for these approved cases, a special camp was set up in the village to mobilise applications under the GLM module while completing the eKYC procedures.
The remaining 579 acres of the land is pertaining to more than 424 possessors who claim to have ‘Sadabainama’ and others without any documents,” he said, adding that they were verifying the current possessors’ documents to establish chain of ownership and process their claims accordingly.
“A long pending issue with a large number of farmers has been dealt through Dharani portal under the guidance of the higher officials in a time bound manner bringing relief to hundreds of farmers spread over a large extent as Dharani application has the flexibility to handle bulk issues wherein multiple issues like change of name, extent correction, changes in nature / type of land could be resolved by a single application from a farmer through the newly introduced TM 33 (PDC) module,” Shashanka said.
Since bulk applications were submitted by the end of September 2022, verification and further processing of applications were completed within three weeks.
According to the official, approved applicants were immediately directed to apply under GLM, and PPB was generated through approval within a week.
After a lengthy battle, MPTC Dharavath Ravi stated that the enjoyment survey of dis-reserved lands would be conducted in June 2021.
