In a bid to give a fresh impetus to the land management system, the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) has introduced a state-of-the-art Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and a scanning machine imported from Germany.
The newly installed DGPS is designed to enhance the accuracy of positional data obtained from global navigation satellites. This technology can improve positional accuracy by approximately one thousand times, reducing error from an estimated 15 meters to an impressive range of 1 to 3 centimeters (1/2 to 1 1/4 inches).
The new system operates through a network of fixed-position, ground-based reference stations. Each reference station measures the discrepancy between its known accurate location and the less precise satellite-derived position, subsequently broadcasting this correction data locally through ground-based transmitters with a limited range.
This installation marks the inaugural use of such technology in India, reflecting KAAC’s dedication to leveraging innovation for administrative excellence.
