Bihar’s Revenue Department has begun training rural youth in operating drones for land survey and digital mapping under the Swamitva Yojana. In Nalanda and Bhojpur, 300 youths have received hands-on training in flying drones, capturing parcel data, and using GIS software. The data helps update land records, resolve disputes, and issue property cards. Drones can cover 2–3 villages a day, increasing efficiency over manual surveys. Youth receive a monthly stipend and future employment priority in government survey projects. The initiative promotes transparency, skill-building, and income opportunities in rural tech sectors.
