While stating this today, a spokesman of Haryana Revenue Department said that the geo-referenced 0.5 meter resolution World View (WV) satellite data has been acquired by HARSAC for the entire state which will be overlaid on the digitized cadastral maps used to correct inaccuracies in the data. This overlaying would also create the latest database about the land use, forestry, geomorphology, soil, water prospects and land degradation etc. for each acre of land in the state.
He said that under the newly launched Centrally sponsored program known as National Land Record Modernization Programme (NLRMP) being funded by Union Ministry of Rural Development, revenue records of Ambala district are being digitized and updated using the high resolution satellite imageries. The project includes digitization of mussavies, integration of maps with Records of Right (ROR), digitization and management of old revenue documents and survey and resurvey ofunconsolidated areas.
He said that integration of the spatial database to be created in the current project would streamline the land revenue administration as the system would be temper proof with easy availability of data at the Tehsils or Sub-Division or District or State level.
Under the project all the cadastral maps (mussavies) available at the district headquarters have been digitized and the same are being updated by the respective village Patwaries using the Sajra maps and other land records available with them. The updated maps would be geo-referenced using the benchmark Ground Control Points (GCP) which have been fixed in the entire state using advanced technology of Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). These ground control points would act as the virtual Murabba Stones and Shehdas fordemarcation of land. Finally a seamless database of the land records would be prepared for the entire state.
This integration of spatial and non-spatial information would greatly aid in village level planning. This will enrich the utility of cadastral maps in the present day context. Besides the preservation and permanence of records, this information can be used in land value assessment, field level soil health cards, smart cards for farmers to facilitate e-governance and e-banking, settlement of compensation claims, land acquisition and rehabilitation, crop insurance, grant of agricultural subsidies, community or village resource centers and precision farming.
He said that Kurbanpur village has been selected as a pilot village in the district todemonstrate the proof of concept of the project. Entire database envisaged under the project was digitized, properly linked and printed land record maps alognwith the ownership details were distributed to the all the land owners in the village by the Revenue Department and their objections were invited. In a function held in the village today, HARSAC demonstrated the outcome and usefulness of theproject for the farmer through presentation and exhibition. Officials of Revenue Department invited objections and provided solutions to the farmers based upon the database created. Villagers evinced great interest in the exhibition anddemonstration. Easy availability of these type of updated records could be a great relief in solving many an important problems in the state.
