The Bihar government has initiated a comprehensive land survey for 2026, aiming to create updated cadastral records that will help resolve longstanding property disputes across the state.
Patna, Aug 22 — The state administration announced the commencement of a statewide land survey slated for 2026, with the objective of producing a fresh set of cadastral maps and ownership records. The exercise will cover all villages, towns and urban parcels in Bihar, employing satellite imagery, GPS and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to ensure precision.
Officials said the updated database will be digitised and made accessible through an online portal, allowing landowners, banks and courts to verify titles quickly. By providing a single authoritative source of land information, the government expects a marked decline in the number of property disputes that currently clog the judicial system.
The survey, reported by Realty Plus Magazine, is part of a broader effort to modernise land administration in the state. Authorities have earmarked several months for field verification and data consolidation, after which the new records will be issued to stakeholders.
Stakeholders, including real‑estate developers and agricultural communities, have welcomed the move, citing greater confidence in land transactions and reduced litigation costs. The administration has pledged regular updates on progress and has urged citizens to cooperate with survey teams.
