2. Agenda Digitization of Mouja Map Updating a map
Integration of digital map with ROR
Computerised Map Services to citizen

3. Digitization of Mouza Map A brief past of Land Records & Maps in West Bengal
Land records prepared as per Permanent Settlement Regulation in 1793
First series of cadastral maps [CS maps] prepared in 1888 – 1940
2nd series of cadastral map [RS maps] prepared in under Revisional Settlement Operation
3rd series of cadastral map [LR maps] are being prepared by updating RS maps since 1972 & is nearing completion

4. LR Mouza Map ( scanned copy)

5. LR Mouza Map All the Mouza maps are prepared following a scale
Total No of Mouza: 42041
Total Mouza maps: 67,436
All the Mouza maps are prepared following a scale
Scale: 16’’= 1 mile (1:3960) mostly also
32”= 1 mile (1:1980) & 64’’= 1mile (1:990)

6. The Digitization Process of maps involves
(i) Scanning of maps using precision scanners
(ii) Redrawing points, lines, polygons on image
of map-also called layers
(iii) Topology building
(iv) Data integration
(v) Map composition from different layers and
(vi) Integration on Bengali Script for labeling

7. Inclusion of various non-map features as
A digital updatable Map is developed by the composition all the components listed
Point layer
Line layer
Area layer and
Inclusion of various non-map features as
legend
the label of the map
bata plot information
various geographical features (the alamaths) / conventional signs, in-situ points which are represented by symbols and
integration on Bengali Script as label

8. Output of Digitization process
Print Copy of Map
Softcopy in .SHP format along with all relevant image files & dbf files and other files related to non-map features

9. Quality Checking Manual Checking (Glass Table)
Automated checking process with ROR data (with Map management application software)
Error reporting

10. Digital Mouza Map (Final output)

11. Zoomed view of the digital map

15. Composed Mouza Map

16. Zoom In of a Mouza Map

17. Auto checking of plot area with area in ROR

18. ROR Checking Report

19. Updating of Mouza Map based on field measurement data

20. Plot Extraction

21. Plot-2360 is being extracted for division

22. Single Plot
Plot-2360

23. Creating a bearing Node
Plot-2360
Node-13:
60 ft from node 5 & 35 ft from node 6

24. Creating a perpendicular Node
Plot-2360
Node 14:
At a perpendicular distance of 35 ft from line 6,12 at the point 12

25. Creating Parallel Node
Plot-2360 9
Nodes 15, 16
Parallel to line 8,9 at a distance of 25 ft

26. Joining Nodes
Plot-2360

27. Calculating Area
Plot-2360
System calculated area: Acre

28. New Plot
Plot-2360
A new plot is created from 2360

29. Completion of updation of Map
New plot is placed in the Mouza map

30. BHUCHITRA Integration of Mouza map with ROR text data

31. BHUCHITRA: Functionalities
Village level Land Records Management
Cadastral Mouza Map Management
Map enabled Query/MIS report generation
Generation of derivative maps
Citizen Services
On-line Up-dation of Land Records & Map *
Administration

32. BHUCHITRA Village/ Mouza Based Information
Map enabled query/MIS report
shows query results shown on the map itself.
Cadastral Mouza Map based information
includes displaying a mouza map, showing plots owned by a raiyat, coloring plots with specific land class, area, possession , owner

33. Mouza map information can be available from the main menu of the BHUCHITRA

34. Interface to select a particular Mouza for which information is required

35. On selection a mouza map is displayed
On selection a mouza map is displayed. The map can be zoomed in or out by pressing buttons

36. The zoomed out view

37. On clicking a particular plot within the map plot details are displayed with a different color mark along with owner(s) details

38. In the ROR information option any plot number can be searched within the map in enlarged view and adjacent plots will be shown.

39. The plots with a specific range of area (in acre) can be displayed with a different color mark.

40. The plots of a specific land classification can be viewed in the map
The plots of a specific land classification can be viewed in the map. Different land classifications can be viewed in the mouza using different color legends.

42. Different types of Possessor existing in the plots can be viewed using different color legends on selection of the type of possessor.

43. Map information details with relevant court fee is displayed along with normal ROR copy.

44. Plot maps with table of measurements for a khatian is shown and be printed use Laser printer for delivery to citizen.

45. Generation of Map Service to Citizen
Plot Map along with the neighboring plots
Printing of Mouza Map in pdf format with 1:1
scale
Printing of zoomed image of a plot showing
dimensions of the sides of the polygon

46. Thank You
