Making of a fence, or improvment is an exclusive possession and not adverse possession. Since you are not staying over that piece of land,  in the eyes of law you cannot claim a title of the adverse possessor that too when the land belongs to the state.however,you can still contest a civil suit claiming your title over the land.

Adverse Possession requires continuous possession in opposition to the world. Only Government can file a case of acquisition/ recovery of land.

Holding the possession of a land of government will not grant you a clear title,after years if the government officials comes to know they will seek the Poseidon from you .Till they do not know you can enjoy the possession ,there is no way you can claim it as a right.And if you contact that particular department which hold the land ,they will come to know that you are illegally occupying the land,best is to stay quiet.
