भारत में भूमि माप इकाइयाँ अलग-अलग होती हैं। उत्तर भारत में भूमि का मापन बीघा, बिस्वा, मारला, कनाल, कट्टा आदि इकाइयों में किया जाता है, जबकि दक्षिणी राज्यों में उपयोग की जाने वाली इकाइयों में ग्राउंड, सेंट, अंकनम, गुंटा आदि शामिल हैं। बीघा, बिस्वा और कथा जैसी इकाइयों के आकार भी भिन्न-भिन्न हैं। एक राज्य से दूसरे राज्य में। यद्यपि स्क्वायर फीट, स्क्वायर यार्ड्स, स्क्वायर मीटर, एकड़ और हेक्टर जैसे मानक इकाइयों के उपयोग में वृद्धि हुई है, फिर भी भूमि की माप के लिए पूरे भारत में स्थानीय इकाइयों का उपयोग किया जाता है। हमने महसूस किया कि भारत में भूमि माप इकाइयों के बारे में ऐसी महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी खंडित है और इसे एक स्थान पर आत्मसात किया जाना चाहिए। इसलिए, इस गाइड में, हमने भारत में उपयोग की जाने वाली सभी प्रमुख भूमि माप इकाइयों को समेट दिया है और बेहतर समझ के लिए क्षेत्र रूपांतरण तालिका और लंबाई रूपांतरण तालिका प्रदान की है। क्षेत्र के त्वरित रूपांतरण के लिए, भूमि क्षेत्र परिवर्तक देखें।
