Pilot project for digital survey of lands likely soon
The Hindu
23 agencies, including 15 major players, selected
The pilot project for conducting digital survey of 27 villages for fixing the borders and bringing down disputes to a considerably low level is set to start soon. The government has zeroed in on 23 agencies for conduct of the pilot project, including 15 firms that have good experience in the field. Conduct of digital survey to permanently fix boundary disputes was contemplated by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao last month. Digital survey of lands forms part of reforms contemplated in the Revenue department with particular emphasis on land administration. The Chief Minister favoured the process as it would make land records non-tamperable and it was decided to cover every inch of land across the State with geo-coordinates as giving longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates was easy if latest technology was leveraged.More Related News
