Karnataka: Dakshina Kannada, Udupi Taluks Lead in Land Title Deed Sanction

Dakshina Kannada, Udupi taluks have secured top positions in Karnataka’s claim paper sanction rankings. Kadaba ranked first in the State, Belthangady second, and Karkala sixth, reflecting strong digital implementation. 

Karkala taluk has secured the sixth position among 236 taluks across Karnataka in the implementation of the State government’s ambitious Revenue Department initiative on land title deed sanction and the Podi (plotting) scheme. The achievement highlights the taluk’s efficient adoption of digital processes, transparency in administration, and prompt delivery of public services.

The ranking reflects the consistent efforts of Revenue Department officials in streamlining land records and ensuring the faster disposal of applications. The initiative aims to simplify land title regularisation and subdivision procedures through technology-driven solutions.

Successful Digital Implementation

In Karkala taluk, Annexure-1 documents were issued to 7,578 account holders across 2,251 survey numbers through a software-based system, without requiring any additional physical documentation. Officials stated that the seamless and transparent digital process significantly reduced delays and improved service efficiency.

The success has been attributed to effective coordination among officials, proper utilisation of digital tools, and a citizen-centric approach in implementing the scheme.

Recognising the achievement, the Revenue Commissioner congratulated Karkala Tahsildar Pradeep R. The staff of the taluk Revenue Department were also honoured with awards and letters of appreciation for their commendable performance.
