There were also other maps, being created by DLRS, such as the Thana map, District Map, Country and International boundary strip maps, which were drawn and printed on varying sizes of paper, can be from 23’X31” up to 36”X48” in size. Approximately, there were 3,000 (three thousand) such map sheets available in DLRS Record room. The objective of this assignment was 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 was maintained under an appropriately designed and custom-built Digital Cadastral Map Archive Management Software System. The Digital Archive had to be designed in such a way that under this Assignment, it would be established in DLRS Record Room, but later on it could also be deployed to 61 District's Deputy commissioner's Record Rooms, [No e: this Assignment did NOT include the task of deploying the Digital Archive to 61 District's Deputy Commissioner's Record Rooms.] Objective including the tasks were technical specifications, expected output prescribed technology and methodology (where appropriate) were described are as follows:
