Pune: The Land Records Department has launched the e-Survey Version 2.0 across the entire state, an upgraded digital platform designed to streamline land survey processes for landowners.
This system will enable landowners to apply for surveys online, pay fees digitally, and receive SMS updates on the status of their applications.
Additionally, survey maps, complete with latitude and longitude coordinates of land boundaries, will be accessible online.
Named e-Survey 2.0, this new system handles tasks including land demarcation, sub-divisions, non-agricultural surveys, court-related distributions and commissions, and land acquisition for various projects. Utilizing GIS-based rovers, the system aims to reduce errors caused by human inaccuracies and minimize disputes or complaints arising from boundary discrepancies.
The rollout follows a successful pilot phase initiated a year ago in Nandurbar and Washim districts, which was subsequently expanded to one taluka per district, including Velha taluka in Pune.
In the third phase, the system was extended to more districts and talukas. Kamalakar Hattekar, Deputy Director of the Land Records Department, has ordered full-scale implementation of the system statewide.
Features of e-Survey Version 2.0:
Online application for land surveys.
Facility to pay survey fees online.
Current status updates of applications via SMS.
Availability of online copies of survey maps.
Survey maps will include latitude and longitude details.
Information about the exact location of the land will be available.
Surveys for land applications will be conducted using GIS-based rovers, providing latitude and longitude data for the boundaries of each land parcel on the survey map. This will help reduce errors caused by human mistakes in boundary delineation and disputes or complaints arising from discrepancies in boundaries due to multiple surveys.
