Question

Which technologies are utilized by the SVAMITVA SCHEME to map land parcels?

• A. Satellite imagery and GPS
• B. Drones and GIS technology
• C. Aerial photography and surveying equipment
• D. Ground-penetrating radar and seismic surveys

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Drones and GIS technology

The SVAMITVA Scheme utilizes a combination of advanced technologies for accurate land parcel mapping in rural inhabited areas:

1. Drone Technology (UAVs): Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drones) are the primary tool used to capture high-resolution aerial images of the village residential areas. This helps in precisely demarcating property boundaries and generating large-scale, accurate maps.

2. Geographical Information Systems (GIS): The high-resolution data and images collected by the drones are processed and integrated into a GIS database. This system manages, analyzes, and visualizes the spatial data to create the final, geo-referenced digital maps and the Property Cards (Record of Rights).

3. Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS): The CORS network, a ground-based reference system, provides real-time kinematic (RTK) corrections. This ensures the drone data and subsequent mapping are highly accurate, achieving centimeter-level precision for ground control points and demarcation.
