UT collects data of 15 Chandigarh sectors, 5 villages under NAKSHA project

The UT Administration has completed the drone flying and data collection activities across 15 sectors and five villages of Chandigarh on a pilot basis under the National Geospatial Knowledge-based Land Survey of Urban Habitations (NAKSHA) project.

“The high-resolution data collected has been processed to create accurate digital base maps,” said Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav after reviewing the implementation of the NAKSHA pilot project with all stakeholders during a meeting here today.

The Administration has advanced towards data validation, integration of ownership records and generation of urban property cards through field surveys. This ongoing phase emphasises citizen verification, enabling property owners to confirm and update their details through a transparent, digital platform.

During the meeting, it was stated that substantial and time-bound progress had been achieved under the NAKSHA project, a flagship initiative of the Government of India aimed at transforming urban land governance.

Implemented in a systematic and time-bound manner, the Chandigarh Administration has successfully achieved key milestones of this transformative project, reaffirming its commitment to transparency, efficiency and citizen-centric governance in land record management. The phased implementation and progress of the project were discussed in detail and reviewed by the DC.

Once fully implemented, the NAKSHA project will provide numerous advantages to the citizens of Chandigarh, including comprehensive digital urban land records with GIS-based accuracy, reduction in land disputes and legal ambiguities among other things.

With the vision of “one click, accurate land records, anywhere, anytime,” The NAKSHA initiative guarantees that property information will be accessible, secure and transparent.
