Drone-Based Survey to Be Part of Bhu Bharati Pilot Project
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|June 04, 2025
According to officials, all lands will be mapped and QR codes sent to farmers to access details.
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Tuesday described the Bhu Bharati initiative as a historic and rare legal reform in Indian history. He said that the law's primary objective is to comprehensively survey agricultural lands, clearly define boundaries and resolve all disputes related to land ownership.
The deputy CM, along with Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy and Agriculture Minister Thummala Nageswara Rao, formally launched the Bhu Bharati survey pilot project at Mulugumadu village under the Madhira Assembly constituency.
The trio initiated a drone-based survey in the village as part of the launch. The state government has chosen five villages for the pilot phase of the Bhu Bharati initiative, with Mulugumadu being one among them in Khammam district.
The survey process involves the use of drones to map land boundaries, satellite imaging to gather geospatial data, and the application of DGPS (Differential GPS) and rovers to assess ground reality.
