Svamitva - Empowering Rural Land Ownership through Photogrammetry
For years, rural land ownership in India has been plagued by disputes and confusion. The Indian government's Svamitva project aims to change that by creating a comprehensive land record system using modern technologies like RTK/PPK drones, and photogrammetry that documents ownership to potentially reduce land-related disputes. Svamitva stands for Survey of Villages And Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas, and covers almost all of the 660,000 villages in India.
