Kerala government’s ambitious digital re-survey project, Ente Bhoomi, has crossed a major milestone by covering more than eight lakh hectares of land across 58.65 lakh land parcels, Revenue Minister K Rajan announced on Saturday, 30 August.
Of the state’s 35 lakh hectares of land, excluding about seven lakh hectares of forest, nearly one-fourth has already been surveyed.
Field surveys have been completed in 334 out of the 529 villages where work began, with the remaining 195 progressing rapidly.
Kerala had started land surveys in 1966 but could complete the process in only 911 villages over the next 57 years.
“With the adoption of modern technologies such as CORS, RTK, Rover, ETS, drones, and LiDAR, we are now completing surveys at record speed,” the minister said.
He credited the achievement to the cooperation of the public, revenue and survey staff, local self-government institutions, people’s representatives, and Survey Vigilance Committees.
Once completed, the minister said, the project would help resolve boundary disputes and usher in a “Kerala of warm neighborly relations.”
Extending Onam greetings, Rajan said the state was on course to ensure “land for everyone and records for all land.”
