The Maharashtra government will launch a Rs 4,000 crore satellite imaging project soon. It will enable to map all land in the state and prepare digital records of land holding.
This project is expected to be ready in a span of five years and will be implemented under a centrally funded scheme. The satellite imaging will consist of land used for agriculture, and industry, along with urban land. Satellite imaging technology will bring about transparency in land transactions.
After completion of the project, the entire Maharashtra land data will be computerised and available online.
The government has decided to review the land mapping system used in Bengaluru civic body limits, and also the one used in the UAE, before taking the final call on a vendor for the project.
