About Kanal
Symbol: Kanal
Unit of:
Area
Unit system:
Non SI Unit (Locally use in India measure of area)
According to
etymologists, the word "kanal" is first referenced in 1674. Kanal is
a measure of length, but it's not unique to India! In neighboring Pakistan and
other countries located across Northern Africa, the word actually means a
different measurement altogether.
Though the use of globally accepted units of measurement is quite common in India, the use of local units is equally prevalent. “Kanal” could be counted as one such indigenous unit of areas measurement in India. The unit is primarily used for land measurement in northern parts of the country including Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir. Even though its use is on the decline because more popularly used measurements like acre and hectare are being more widely adapted, kanal continues to be part of everyday conversation in rural areas where this traditional unit has been long traditionally used.
