SIH26001AI-Based early warning and landslide Risk Monitoring System in NER

The North Eastern Region of India frequently suffers from landslides that cut off villages and cause damage. This problem asks for an AI system that uses various data sources like weather and satellite images to predict where and when landslides might happen. The system should then warn people and authorities in real-time to help save lives and property.

SIH26010Survey/Resurvey of Rural Agricultural Land in lndia

Rural Indian land records are outdated and inaccurate, leading to many disputes and hindering development. We need to build a modern, tech-driven system to accurately map agricultural land, update ownership records digitally, and make land administration transparent and efficient.

SIH260113D ULPIN Generation and vertical Property Mapping SYstem

Traditional land records only show flat 2D maps, making it impossible to legally define who owns which floor in a high-rise building or who owns underground spaces. This system builds a smart 3D digital map of properties (above and below ground) and assigns a unique digital ID (3D ULPIN) to every single flat, basement, or utility space. This ensures clear ownership, prevents property disputes, and helps cities plan infrastructure better.

SIH26012AI-Based Automated Urban Parcel Mapping and Cadastral Feature Extraction System using Drone lmagery

Currently, mapping land boundaries and buildings in crowded cities is done manually by drawing lines on drone photos, which takes months. We are building an AI-powered web platform that automatically traces land boundaries, buildings, and roads from drone images in minutes, and lets surveyors easily fix any errors on an interactive map.

SIH26013Automated lntegration and lntelligent Harmonization of Multi-source Geospatial Data for urban Land Record Management.

Different government departments hold separate, conflicting map layers and tax records for the same urban land parcels. This platform automatically ingests drone maps, legacy land surveys, and utility lines, aligns their boundaries, fixes geometric errors, and unifies them into a single accurate master land map.

SIH26014An lntegrated GIS-based Digital Public lnfrastructure for Land Governance

India's land records are currently scattered across different state departments with incompatible systems, causing land disputes and slow public services. Land Stack solves this by creating a unified GIS map platform where every land parcel gets a unique digital ID (ULPIN) linked to its ownership, tax, zoning, and utility records. This acts as a single source of truth for both government officials and citizens.

SIH26015Application of Geospatial Techniques for visualization and analysis to interpret Geo-Coded lmages to enhance watershed Development Outcomes.

Currently, field workers take photos of rural water and land conservation projects, but these photos are only stored as plain evidence without deeper analysis. This project builds a smart mapping tool that connects ground photos with satellite maps to track environmental changes like increased water levels, crop growth, and soil health over time. It transforms simple field photos into a live interactive map for monitoring rural development projects.
