Maharashtra to Pioneer Geo-Mapping of Waqf Assets

Maharashtra is starting a project to map and keep track of properties owned by the Waqf Board, which manages religious and charitable assets.

This is like making a detailed map of all the land and buildings.

The goal is to make managing these properties easier and more transparent.

The project will involve mapping about 45,000 properties, which should help identify any problems like illegal use of the land.

This will help the government better manage these properties and potentially earn more money from them, with the goal of increasing annual revenue substantially.

This digital system will also help resolve disputes and plan for development of the properties.
