New land survey begins across the state 

The state government of Andhra Pradesh has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Survey of India (SoI) for the biggest land survey in India. The survey will be conducted using high-end technology, such as CARS, drones, rovers, etc., to eliminate measurement errors. A land titling card, which consists of a unique identification number, measurements of the property, name of the owner along with the photo and the total area, would be given after the survey. Digitised cadastral maps would be prepared after the survey. All details of the lands in villages will be on the maps. The title will be displayed in the respective village secretariat for two years, to invite objections, if any. A permanent land title will be provided after two years, upon finalisation. If there are any objections after this process, the government will take responsibility and provide compensation, accordingly. The programme was launched on December 21, 2020.
