New Revenue bills get approved by the Government of Telangana
“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," Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao reported said. The CM was reverting to issues given by legislators during the debate on the Bills.

The Chief Minister also explained that the Dharani website which was getting launched as part of the new Revenue Act will be administered by Telangana State Technology Services (TSTS) under the view of the State government and will not be outsourced to any private corporation. On safety of the data, he emphasized that the land records will be kept in three forms – e-records, digital records and also in the form of physical documents. Similarly, the data will be stored in different servers in safe locations across the nation and all measures will be taken to safeguard them.
