Land Survey
Land surveys are being done in every case of sale or purchase of land by individuals and acquisition of land from the public by the Government. The Government also carries out land survey in routine to upgrade its maps and charts.
While buying and selling land it is essential to survey the land so that the exact measurement of the land can be arrived at. Since the rate of sale and purchase is known, it is quantum of land that will be used to arrive at the total price to be paid or received. The same logic applies when Government is acquiring land from the public for some project etc.
The government on its own carries out land survey so that the charts and maps can be updated. This is required to be done in order to ensure that the charts and maps are updated at regular intervals. Very often due to natural calamities the entire demography of the area is changed. In such cases it becomes imperative to redo the land survey.
