Recent Partner Reviews

We are thrilled that low literate village youths and women self help group members are confidently using the mobile application to map parcels for claim submission under IFR and CFR. Community volunteers are very happy to be able to instantly show a display of the area and edit parcel boundaries on satellite imagery.

The Cadasta team has worked closely with the Tata Trusts field team in addressing day-to-day challenges of data collection and technological improvement. Consistent support from Cadasta team has encouraged the field team to improve the process on regular intervals, as per the requirement. It was a great help when the team visited the field and collaborated to address critical issues faced by data collection team.

What a great tool, I am thrilled because this system works very fast and without any programming language to make a questionnaire. I started using QGIS and the STDM tool developed by GLTN. These Cadasta Tools are the latest and perhaps the practical tools that communities can use to secure their land rights.
