Farmers Flock to Bhubharati Program in Ija Mandal Seeking Land Issue Resolutions
Gadwal: A Bhubharati grievance redressal program held at the local Rythu Vedika in Ija Mandal witnessed a heavy turnout of farmers seeking solutions to various land-related issues. The event was formally inaugurated by Alampur Market Yard Chairman, Doddappa. During the program, several farmers from across the mandal approached Tehsildar Jyothi with petitions regarding disputes, corrections, and clarifications related to their agricultural lands. Tehsildar Jyothi patiently listened to their concerns and took immediate action on some issues, offering on-the-spot resolutions wherever possible. In several cases, farmers were advised to submit formal applications through the MeeSeva portal, while others were directed to seek legal redress in court due to the complexity of their cases. Although a number of farmers expressed satisfaction with the responses, some left the venue disappointed due to unresolved grievances. Speaking at the event, Market Yard Chairman Doddappa emphasized that the Bhubharati initiative is a continuous and evolving process. 'This is not a one-day event where everything gets resolved at once,' he said. 'Farmers must remain patient as the system identifies and rectifies discrepancies. The Bhubharati Act is being implemented to ensure it becomes a beneficial and fair system for all landowners.' He further assured that the full implementation of the Bhubharati Act would be achieved soon, offering long-term relief to farmers. 'There is no need for farmers to worry going forward,' he stated confidently. The event saw participation from a large number of farmers, along with agriculture and revenue department officials. The Bhubharati program continues to serve as a platform for farmers to raise and resolve critical land-related issues, aiming to bring transparency and justice in land management across Telangana.

Address mismatch stalls farmer ID drive in Telangana
Hyderabad: A new initiative to assign unique identification numbers to farmers for accessing central govt schemes has hit a major roadblock in Telangana, leaving thousands unable to register due to a mismatch between their Aadhaar and land passbook addresses. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to senior officials, the issue arises when a farmer owns agricultural land in one place — often a remote village — but resides in a town, city, or in Hyderabad. Their Aadhaar card lists the urban address, while the land passbook reflects the village location. This discrepancy is causing the agriculture department's software to reject applications, preventing successful linkage of land records to the new farmer IDs. Even when farmers manage to receive the OTP (one-time password) required for verification, upload errors are commonly reported. The system currently mandates that addresses on both documents match exactly, a condition many farmers are unable to meet. Frustrated applicants are now calling for relaxation of the rules, fearing that continued technical hurdles could exclude them from key central schemes such as PM Kisan, crop insurance, and a 60% subsidy for fruit, vegetable, and silk farming. While 19 states have already completed the registration process and submitted data to the Centre, Telangana lags far behind. As per official figures, only about 30% of eligible farmers have successfully registered. Agriculture officers are now working to complete registrations by June 6, after which MeeSeva centres will also facilitate the process. The goal of the unique farmer ID system is to streamline benefit delivery, reduce fraud, and ensure faster compensation— especially in cases of natural calamities or crop failure. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Officials say the ID will help verify eligibility without requiring farmers to visit government offices during emergencies. In Telangana, there are more than 70 lakh landholding farmers, of whom around 40 lakh currently receive Rs 2,000 in three annual instalments under PM Kisan. The state agriculture department has clarified that the unique ID will not affect state-run welfare programmes like Rythu Bharosa or loan waivers, which will continue to rely on data maintained by the revenue department. Still, officials are urging all farmers to proactively register with local agriculture offices to avoid missing out on central benefits.
