A survey becomes necessary when a plot has multiple owners and the boundaries need to be determined.
In what promises to be a major reform, Karnataka has issued an order allowing citizens to survey their lands on their own without having to wait for a licensed or government-employed surveyor.
According to an order issued by the Revenue Department, private lands can be surveyed and sketched by citizens themselves using the Swavalambi app.
The self-survey facility will be available for lands under single, multiple and joint ownership.
