About Square Mile in Uttarakhand

A Square Mile is a large unit of area measurement commonly used in countries that follow the Imperial system, such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

Historical Background in Uttarakhand

The Square Mile was introduced to India during the British colonial period but never became a standard unit for local land measurement.

However, Square Mile remains relevant in academic, environmental, and international contexts where large territorial assessments are conducted. It is often used in demographic density analysis or when referencing data aligned with global standards.
