The Department of Land Resources (DoLR) announced the launch of the National Geospatial Knowledge-based Land Survey of Urban Habitations (NAKSHA) on September 25, 2024. This pilot program aims to modernize urban land records in over 152 cities across India.
The NAKSHA program aims to create and update land records in urban areas to ensure accurate and reliable documentation of land ownership. This initiative will empower citizens, improve ease of living, enhance urban planning, and reduce land-related disputes. The IT-based system for property record administration will foster transparency, efficiency and support sustainable development.
