The state of Telangana is undergoing many changes. Recently, as a historic decision, the Telangana State Legislative Assembly on Friday approved the new Revenue Bills giving way for developments in land administration and registration in the State. Many bills such as The Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Bill 2020, the Telangana Abolition of the Posts of Village Revenue Officers Bill 2020, the Telangana Municipal Laws Amendment Bill 2020 and the Telangana Panchayat Raj Amendment Bill 2020 were given a nod after discussions for more than five hours.
New Revenue bills get approved by the Government of Telangana
Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was quoted saying, “These bills are only the first step in ushering revenue reforms in the State. Though providing conclusive titles to landowners could put an end to land disputes in the State, we still have a long way to go to establish complete reforms which will require the enactment of some more laws and abolition of others." Chandrashekhar Rao was explicit in asserting that the new Revenue Acts were motivated at reducing the problems of people, but were not the last resort to the problems.

Quoting an example, he stated the State government increased the benefits of Rythu Bandhu scheme to about 57.9 lakh farmers totally owning 1.45 lakh acres. He added, “We distributed Rs 7,279 crore within 48 hours. Some farmers may not have received financial assistance, but there were no complaints from farmers that their money was given to some other person. This indicates that there are no major disputes pertaining to these lands. Let us focus on these lands and start streamlining the system using the new Acts.”
