✨ Knowledge-Packed Session on Registration Bill 2025 ✨
Recently, I had the privilege of attending an insightful session on the Registration Bill 2025, led by none other than Mr. V.V. Naidu (Retd. Deputy IG, Revenue & Stamps).
He is truly a luminary in this field—highly respected across the department and regarded as an authority on registration in Telangana. His expertise and clarity made this session invaluable.
A big thank you to Prithvi Raj @1516aptg for organizing such a wonderful and enlightening session! 🙏
