1. The drone survey is preceded by intensive IEC (Information, Education and Communication) activities to create public awareness and build confidence among rural landowners.

2. States and UTs undertake Chuna marking for property demarcation to clearly define property boundaries on the ground.

3. States and UTs have laid down inquiry processes for the settlement of claims and objections on ground verified maps as per their respective Acts before finalizing ownership.

4. Furthermore, the use of high-resolution maps for ground verification provides a visual aid to both landowners and revenue officials, thereby facilitating the identification and resolution of property disputes effectively.
