About the Bhu-Drishti

“Bhudrushti is Jalna District’s pioneering GIS-powered Decision Support System for transparent and data-driven land governance. Developed under the leadership of the District Collector, Jalna, this platform integrates spatial and textual land records, satellite imagery, and automated validation to create a single source of truth for all land-related data across 970 villages and municipal areas.”

Bhudrushti unifies and extends the district’s key innovations:

  • PAVITRA

    – Property Card Audit and Validation using Information Technology, Remote Sensing, and GIS Applications

  • Geo Bhumi Jalna

    – GIS-based Government Land Bank and Asset Management System.

Together, these modules form a dynamic, responsive ecosystem that supports sustainable planning, resource management, and citizen-centric governance.
