Challenges and Opportunities of Surveyors Profession in India
Surveyors Profession has greatly transformed over the years. Off late a sense of rear has grappled surveyors as they are not able to perceive the fate of profession in the coming years. Uncertainty has taken over as IRDA has not been able to do justice with the surveyor’s profession.
Though some measures of Compulsory membership, training, online licensing, categorization has been announced but that needs to be completed in time bound manner. Many measures are being announced in part with considerable delay which dilutes its importance.
The profession is beset with several teething problems which is a matter of great concern. I could like to identify challenges for the surveyor’s profession and suggest Opportunities ahead of Surveyors.
Problems :
1.Apathy of IRDA towards Surveyors Profession
2.Surveyors Profession not being taken seriously
3.Surveyors independence at stake
4.Non recognition of importance of Surveyors Profession
5.Lack of unity among surveyors
6.Lack of scope for news aspirants to become surveyor
- Categorization process not fair
- Limitation of department
- Contract Survey and Employee Surveyors in Private Companies
- Lack of any consistent training programme for Surveyors
- Remuneration not upto the mark.

As writer is saying young blood should let in but in reality motor surveyor don’t accept new trainees they just want to create and maintain monopoly over this market and field. May be the senior diploma holder surveyors are feeling insecure because of new B.E holders.
