Bhoomi online is a project jointly funded by the Government of India and the Government of Karnataka to digitize the paper land records and create a software mechanism to control changes to the land registry in Karnataka.

Bhoomi succeeded because there was a champion who worked a 15-hour day for over 12 months, devoting 80% of his time to the project.

Minimizing resistance from staff by harnessing political support was an important contributory factor.

"The idea to computerize land records was first mooted by Chief Minister of Karnataka S. M. Krishna in 1999.

It was reported in 2004 that the Bhoomi project included demographic and economic data and legal rights, and that it also had 47 information fields on owner, tenant, crops, yield, irrigation sources, mortgage details, nature of soil and bank loans.
