UP Selects 10 ULBs for Land Record Update Under NAKSHA Program
Imagine the government is updating its records about who owns what land in cities.
They're using a program called NAKSHA.
This program is like a super detailed map.
They are using special aerial cameras and ground checks.
They're doing this in 10 cities in Uttar Pradesh.
This helps solve arguments about land, helps the cities plan better, and makes it easier to build new things.
The goal is to make sure everyone knows exactly who owns what land.
This will make things fairer and clearer.
10 ULBs in Uttar Pradesh are selected for land record updates under the NAKSHA program.
The NAKSHA program aims to create an up-to-date database of urban land records.
Aerial mapping has been completed in seven of the 10 ULBs, with ground verification underway.
New land records are expected to resolve various land-related disputes.
The program is part of the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme.
