Uttar Pradesh launched a state-wide technology-based land survey and demarcation drive, using modern GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping, drones, and digital records. The initiative aims to eliminate land record disputes, prevent encroachments, and create accurate, tamper-proof digital land records across UP's vast rural and urban areas. UP has one of India's highest incidences of land disputes. This aligns with the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP) and e-Governance initiatives of the Centre.
