Bhopal: The Ministry of Rural Development’s Department of Land Resources, Government of India, has launched a pilot program called the National Geospatial Knowledge-Based Land Survey (MAP) for urban settlements in 152 urban local bodies across 26 states and 3 Union Territories. Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav and Union Minister of Agriculture Shivraj Singh Chouhan will inaugurate the programme on February 18 in Raisen.
