Data available on the app
The Dishaank app provides information about the land, which has the name of the landowner, the extent of land, sort of ownership, variety of land, litigations, land category, and it is also reported that the other active transactions being done on the land.
Advantages of Dishnaak app
Citizens can easily avail themselves of the data about the land as recorded within the Bhoomi database. this may help in reducing land disputes and can bring transparency within the maintenance of land records. However, consistent with the Karnataka government, the Dishaank app’s purpose is merely to produce clarity on the first status of land and therefore the app shouldn’t be used for legal purposes in any land-related disputes.
