Centre Surveys 17.78 lakh Acres Of Defence Land Using Modern Technologies:

 
For the first time since independence, the government has surveyed 17.78 lakh acres of defence land using cutting-edge technologies such as three-dimensional modelling, drones, and satellite imagery. According to the defence ministry, the massive effort of surveying roughly 1.61 lakh acres of defence land inside cantonments and 16.17 lakh acres outside cantonments began in October 2018 and is now complete.
 
Highlights:
 
♦ It is a significant accomplishment because, for the first time since independence, the entire defence land has been surveyed using cutting-edge survey technology, according to the report.
 
♦ According to the ministry, the size of the landholding, the placement of land in approximately 4,900 pockets, inaccessible terrain in many areas, and the involvement of many stakeholders make it one of India`s "largest" land surveys.
 
♦ To ensure "reliable, robust, and time-bound" results, modern survey technology such as the Electronic Total Station, Differential Global Positioning System, and drone and satellite imagery were used.
