The National e-Governance Award will be conferred upon District Administration, Gurugram for the project G-Triangulation at the two-day 20th National Conference on e-Governance to be held at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh on January 9 and 10.
An official spokesman said that the project has been awarded Gold under category VI innovative use of GIS Technology in e-Governance for the national awards on e-Governance 2016-17.
He said that no other state in the country has arguably done so many experiments in used records management as Haryana has done. The revenue estate of Manesar was taken up as a pilot for implementation of the project. The revenue records of 14 out of 37 villages were fully processed. The results have shown remarkable consistency in moving to a system for adoption of the method of conclusive titles.
The project aimed at providing complete spatial referencing of the land holdings across the district and further validating the land holding details in Manesar. This is expected to reduce errors in land records that crept in during the period 1957 to 2016, the spoeksman added.
He said that triangulation is a simple concept where at least three points are necessary to identify an area and hence 35 points of Survey of India were used to create infinite number of references. Incidentally, a majority of these reference points established during Todarmal era had got vanished. In order to re-establish, a cluster of 24 satellites were used in tandem for further refining the reference point network. These reference points were superimposed on high resolution digital maps with in-built tolerance for undulations. Further, cadastral maps or Musavis were also superimposed, he added.
For creating these digital maps Unmanned Aerial Vehicles were used. The spokesman said that the future course of action involves linking several databases involving land and land records. Using these digitised maps for property taxation management and various other applications.
