In a recent budget speech, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that the state would use rover machines to speed up the measurement and clear land survey applications within the next ninety days. The use of rover machines began last year to cope with the application pile up during the Covid pandemic. Currently, the state has around 1,500 rovers, and the budget has allocated funds for procuring an additional 1,500 rovers for all 3,000 land surveyors in the state.
According to an official statement captured by ET Realty, the state department as cleared 2.12 lac applications in the last then months with an average clearance of 20,000 applications per month. With the help of the rover, they expect to clear 30,000 pending applications per month, thus ensuring all the 99,000 applications are cleared within three months.
A rover machine can be used to survey land by using a combination of sensors, cameras, and other instruments to collect data about the terrain, topography, and other features of the land. It may also have cameras that can take high-resolution images of the land and the surrounding area.
To conduct a survey, the rover is typically controlled by a remote operator who sends it commands and receives data back from the rover's sensors and cameras. The operator can use this data to build up a picture of the land and identify any features of interest, such as geological formations, vegetation, or bodies of water. In addition to collecting data, a rover can also be used to take samples of soil or other materials for further analysis. This can be useful in a range of applications, such as environmental monitoring, geology, or mining exploration.
In this case, officials say the rovers will not only help with the land measurement activity but also with land acquisition, alignment of roads, and other related activities in a swift, transparent, and accurate manner. It apparently takes a minimum of one day to carry out conventional measurement of land by a team of land surveyors. Making the final map takes about a month's time before it is given to the applicant. However, with a rover all of this can be done within a day’s time.
The use of rover machines in land surveying has the potential to revolutionize the process of land measurement and acquisition in India. The traditional methods of land surveying are time-consuming and often fraught with errors, leading to disputes and legal battles. The use of rover machines will make the process faster, more accurate, and more transparent, reducing the likelihood of disputes.
The move also has significant implications for land acquisition for infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, and canals. These projects often face significant delays due to disputes over land acquisition, which can be resolved with the use of rover machines.
Moreover, the use of rover machines will enable more efficient planning of development work, ensuring that the land is used in the most effective way possible. This will have important implications for the economic development of the state and the country as a whole.
In conclusion, the use of rover machines in land surveying is a significant development that has the potential to transform the process of land measurement and acquisition in India. With the help of these machines, the pending applications for land survey in the state of Maharashtra will be cleared within the next three months, marking a major milestone in the modernization of India's land surveying infrastructure.
