Karnataka University to Use Drones to Reclaim Encroached Land
Karnataka University in Dharwad is using drones to find and protect its land that has been taken over by others.
The university has a lot of land, about 880 acres, but some parts have been taken over and buildings have been built there.
The new leader of the university, Prof. A.M. Khan, wants to make sure all the university's land is safe.
They will use drones to take pictures and make maps of the land.
