Odisha Cabinet Approves New Rules for Jagannath Temple Land Settlement
The Odisha Cabinet has approved the Shree Jagannath Temple Land Management Rules, 2026, to enhance transparency and efficiency in settling temple land holdings. The new rules replace earlier policies and introduce an online portal for application processing, with district-level committees conducting field verifications. Valuation norms use benchmark values or average land sale statistics, with special provisions for certain temple sites. Oversight will be maintained by the Shree Jagannath Temple Managing Committee, and digital mapping will support real-time record updates and fraud prevention.
