Slum Land Titling

Govt. of Odisha recognized the contribution of the urban poor and took the help of SPARC to map slum-occupied lands, using advanced drone technology to create detailed maps and integrating them into a GIS system.

The result was a comprehensive assessment of land rights for more than 2 million slum dwellers, covering 3000+ slums across 114 ULBs (Urban Local Body) of Odisha - all accomplished in just 6 months. This transformative process has been praised for its transparency and is a first of its kind globally.
