Chandigarh Advances NAKSHA Project with Over 13,000 Properties Mapped Digitally
The NAKSHA pilot project in Chandigarh has mapped over 13,000 properties across urban sectors and five villages, aiming to create a GIS-based digital land record system. Sectors 2 to 17 (excluding Sector 13) have near-complete survey coverage, while villages have completed ground truthing but await formal linkage to ownership records. The project, implemented by the Department of Land Resources, is in its final stages and seeks to improve land administration, reduce disputes, and enhance urban planning through digital records.
