It has been my honour and privilege to serve in the Revenue Department. This work added real meaning to my public life.

Together, we were able to deliver better services and good governance to the people. We went to their doorsteps and accomplished what many believed was impossible. We addressed issues that had remained unresolved for decades. It was, in many ways, a silent revolution.

The journey was tough and challenging, but that is what made it all the more satisfying. We demonstrated that meaningful change is possible, even in the Revenue Department.

We took it upon ourselves to solve people’s problems instead of waiting for them to come to us with applications. While we have not eliminated corruption entirely, we plugged loopholes, fixed systemic issues at their source, introduced online systems and automatic approvals, and significantly reduced opportunities for corruption. Through technology and digitisation, we brought governance to people’s fingertips.

To the people we served: I hope our work made even a small difference in your lives. I hope we were able to resolve some of your long-pending problems. It has been my great fortune to have had the opportunity to serve you. The quiet affection and trust I received from the people are priceless the greatest asset one can earn in public life.

I sincerely thank the public for their unwavering support. Your encouragement was my driving force. I also thank my team of officers, whose dedication made all of this possible.

Finally, I thank my party, Shri @siddaramaiah , and Shri @DKShivakumar for their support and guidance throughout this journey.

ಕಂದಾಯ ಇಲಾಖೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬದಲಾವಣೆ ತರಲು ಮತ್ತು ಜನಪರ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡಿದ್ದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.

Storm Water Drain development in full swing. Capacity of #SWDs to carry rain water is being increased by remodelling earthen drain or old inefficient masonry drain to RCC drain to prevent recurring floods in chronic flood prone areas. One of the many reasons for floods was the missing links in large SWDs. These missing links were causing bottle necks in moving rain water and hence causing frequent floods. To mitigate floods Govt has taken up construction of 264 kms of primary and secondary RCC SWDs in Bengaluru at a cost of 2000Crore. These are designed and built to carry large quantities of rain water. Funded by Revenue Dept with a loan from World Bank, this is the single largest ever investment to improve the SWD network in Bengaluru and reduce floods. This is the largest investment in SWD network of Bengaluru.
Over the last 15 years 596 kms of SWDs were developed. With this project we will achieve completion of all the 860 kms of primary and secondary drains that exist in #Bengaluru.
Part of the work is taken up in #Byatarayanapura constituency also. I visited the work site to inspect design, work quality and to speed up the work.

140 families get their houses.

Handed over house key/allotment letter to the families. Built by Govt with the Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corp under the CM One Lakh Multi Story Housing Scheme, good quality 1 bedroom apartments are a boon to working class families. Comfort and security of own house at very affordable price. In the same area, private developers are selling same size apartments for ₹30-35 lakhs. In Govt scheme houses are allotted for a cost of about ₹7.70 lakhs after Govt subsidy of about ₹3 lakhs. Easy installment-loan facility is also provided with bank tie-ups. These homes are major step to serve the housing needs of working class families who do not have their own house and are living in rented houses. Rented houses are very small and are inadequate for family and children. CM One Lakh housing is a major step to provide affordable housing in BLR Urban limits.
I was happy to welcome 140 families and wish their families a bright future with the help and security of their own home.
Same houses are available in different location. Interested families can apply at https://t.co/RTKzmPNOab
and take the major step towards their own home.

Benefits for B Khatha are Property Owners

The enabling provision for auto-conversion provides a legal framework to convert B Khatha properties into A Khatha, helping lakhs of property owners who purchased unauthorised sites in the past. Obtaining A Khatha:
•Strengthens legal ownership
•Enables access to bank loans
•Increases property value
•Simplifies transactions and approvals

By integrating auto-conversion with E-Khatha and digitised land records, the Government aims to reduce litigation and provide greater certainty in property ownership.

Supporting Planned Urban Growth

As urbanisation accelerates, demand for urban properties will continue to rise. The Government remains committed to facilitating planned development while ensuring affordable access to land and housing.

Auto-conversion under the Master Plan is a bold and transformative reform that simplifies one of the most complex and corruption-prone processes in land development. By addressing the problem at its source, the Government is strengthening governance, improving compliance, and laying the foundation for sustainable urban growth.

Ease of Governance and Compliance

To promote planned development and improve ease of doing business, the Government has introduced auto-conversion in Master Plan areas. Earlier, even lands falling within the Master Plan required separate conversion, despite the concept of “deemed conversion.” This process typically took 4–6 months and often led to delays, harassment, corruption, and increased costs due to middlemen.

These inefficiencies ultimately burdened site buyers and brought disrepute to government institutions, particularly the Revenue Department.

With the rollout of auto-conversion in GBA, the Revenue Department has taken a decisive step to:
•Eliminate delays and harassment
•Reduce corruption and discretion
•Cut development costs and timelines
•Promote transparent, time-bound processes

This reform supports faster, legal, and more affordable land development, benefiting both developers and public site buyers.

[Krishna Byre Gowda @krishnabgowda]

Auto-Conversion of Land in GBA: A Major Governance Reform

The Government has done away with the requirement for separate land conversion in areas covered under the Published Master Plan (CDP) within the GBA. Landowners who are developers can now directly apply for plan approval as per the Master Plan, and land conversion will be carried out automatically as part of the plan approval process.

As per the Master Plan provisions, conversion from B Khatha to A Khatha for existing individual property owners is also now enabled by law, bringing significant relief to lakhs of GBA B Khatha site owners.
