How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act, 1993 governs the three-tier panchayat system in the state, including Gram Panchayats.
- E-Swathu is a digital property record issued through the rural local body system, not through the revenue department's land records alone.
- Gram Thana areas are settled village habitation areas where properties may lack formal documents.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper II (local governance, e-governance) and KPSC Karnataka governance. Many rural properties in habitation areas lack formal records, which blocks credit, transfers and welfare access; e-Swathu under the Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act, 1993 digitises records through Gram Panchayats and brings such properties into the formal system. Way forward: ensure transparent verification, resolve disputes, build panchayat capacity and integrate records with land and registration databases.
