Thus, Information Technology Development has been synonymous with good governance in India. This study cognizes the land dependency of the agrarian economy and its related disputes, thereby affirming the various e-governance initiatives for land administration. However, this study primarily deals with the Bhoomi Project and how it serves to be a best practice for fostering democratic principles in Land Administration at the South Asian Region and the Global Level, thus elevating India's Global Stature. Therefore, this study moots the concern of what are the lacunas concerned with the Bhoomi project in Karnataka's land administration? Thus, this paper argues that the Bhoomi project is a best practice stemming from South Asia, which serves for a vibrant and objective land administration, thus facilitating Ease of Doing business.
