Maharashtra Government's Big Decision on Land Sub-divisions: Farmers to Benefit from New Mapping Project

• Maharashtra government launches a pilot project to create separate maps for each land sub-division, aiming to resolve fragmentation issues.
• The project will clarify exact boundaries, area, and ownership, providing relief to farmers and landowners.
• A significant discrepancy exists between land maps and 7/12 records due to unmeasured sub-divisions created between 1992 and 2024.
• Lack of accurate maps has led to boundary disputes, affecting farmers and hindering government schemes like loans, insurance, and compensation.
• Each land parcel will receive a unique geo-आधार (Alpin) number, ensuring precise matching of maps with 7/12 records and boosting agricultural schemes.
