has been the lack of accurate surveys.

The limitations and lengthy procedures of the old survey system have created complications for the common people. However, this problem is finally going to be solved.

Land Surveying: Past Limitations and Present Challenges
When you hear the word 'land survey', many people think of a complex, time-consuming and uncompetitive process. The CS survey completed during the British period in 1888 is still used as the basis in the country, which took 52 years to complete. At that time, the owners of Dhaka district were mainly the Nawab and Bhawal families, but it took half a century to complete the survey.

Later, even though SA, RS, BS surveys came,

they were based on old foundations, which were not up to date. This complexity related to the survey has created irregularities, fraud and litigation in land management. One of the biggest reasons for harassment of citizens is the ambiguity of this survey.

Use of modern technology: An unprecedented transformation in surveys
According to the announcement by the Land Secretary, a breakthrough in surveying has been achieved due to the amazing advancement in technology. Drone technology now makes it possible to take 500 to 600 images per minute and analyze them in automated software to create maps instantly.

South Korea is one of the partners in this technology-based survey system. The country will provide support of 800 to 900 million US dollars in the initial phase. Notably, this support is being provided initially at no cost and with a grace period of 28 years, which is a huge opportunity for the country.

This initiative will ensure transparency,

speed, and accountability not just in surveys, but in the entire land management process. This will make it easier to verify land ownership and reduce the chances of false claims.

Potential impact on the country's land management
Through this modern surveying program, it will be possible to collect and store accurate land information in the fastest possible time. As a result, it will help in the implementation of various government projects. Development activities will progress rapidly and a transparent environment will be created for investors.

This initiative will play a significant

role in resolving land-related cases and disputes in rural and urban areas of Bangladesh. In addition, citizens will be able to easily access land-related information online, which will
