The Uttar Pradesh government launched the Digi Rover Special Land Survey Campaign from Saharanpur on July 1, 2026, to modernise land demarcation using GNSS technology.
Key Points
- Digi Rover (GNSS) replaces traditional 'jareeb' measurement for faster, more accurate land demarcation.
- The campaign will run in all districts till August 15, 2026, targeting 79,157 pending cases under Section-24.
- The Board of Revenue is the nodal agency, with implementation by District Magistrate, Tehsildar, Revenue Inspector, and Lekhpal.
- Aim: transparent, time-bound land services and reduced land litigation.
Exam Connect
- Board of Revenue (UP) → highest revenue administrative and judicial body → established 1831 → headquarters at Prayagraj (Judicial) and Lucknow (Administrative)
- GNSS → satellite-based geo-positioning → examples: GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), NavIC (India)
