Capacity Development of the Department of Land Records and Surveys and Modernization of Cadastral Maps’ Storing, Preserving and Retrieval System Project (DLRS)

Department of Land Records and Surveys (DLRS) is responsible for the preparation, production and supply of cadastral (Mouza) maps and boundary strip maps. DLRS’s Record maintains all cadastral maps being created through the CS, SA and RS operations since late nineteenth century. At present, there are about 1,15,000 (one lakh and fifty thousand) Mouza map present, which were originally drawn on P70 sheets (opaque gray paper) measuring about 23”X31”. There are also other maps, being created by DLRS, such as the Thana map, District Map, Country and International boundary strip maps, which are drawn and printed on varying sizes of paper, can be from 23’X31” up to 36”X48” in size. Approximately, there are 3,000 (three thousand) such map sheets available in DLRS Record room.

The objective of this assignment is to create a Digital Archive of about 1,15,000 CS, SA and RS mouza map sheets by building a database of map image using high-precision scanning and imaging technology, which will be maintained under an appropriately designed and custom-built Digital Cadastral Map Archive Management Software System.

The Digital Archive must be designed in such a way that under this Assignment, it will be established in DLRS Record Room, but later on it can also be deployed to 61 District’s Deputy commissioner’s Record Rooms.

Objective including the tasks are technical specifications, expected output prescribed technology and methodology (where appropriate) are described are as follows:
