PROJECT REPORT TOPIC: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HITECH SURVEY AND TRADITIONAL SURVEY HOW IS HI-TECH SURVEY BEING CONDUCTED. ROLE OF REVENUE OFFICIALS IN VERIFICATION, VALIDATION, AND PREPARATION OF ROR AND MAPS UNDER ODISHA SPECIAL SURVEY AND SETTLEMENT ACT & RULE 2012 Submitted To : Deputy Director Revenue Officer Training Institute Submitted by Sambit Sangramjeet Sahoo Addl Tahasildar, Morada,Mayurbhanj
Hitech Survey Hitech Survey is a process of survey through Modern Technology like Aerial Photography, High Resolution Satellite Imagery,Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS), Electronic Total Station (ETS). In Odisha it is carried out under Odisha Special Survey and Settlement Act and Rule 2012. Difference between Hitech Survey and Traditional Survey In traditional Procedure Survey were being made manually using Gunter chain, Plane Table method, Prismatic Compass and Theodolite. It was time consuming and more cost and man power required. Limitations of Traditional system of surveying Survey operations are not regular- gap between records and field reality Associated with human errors Out dated method- Low level of accuracy Areas above 10 degree slope can not be surveyed Time consuming- gap between measurement takenand final output Maps in paper form- difficulty in updation Reference point of land were subject to displacement. Through Hi-Tech Survey the map is prepared digitally with highest level of accuracy which can be preserved and updated digitally and Re-Survey is not required. The map is Co-ordinate based having latitude and Longitude of each point or location of the village which helps in post survey demarcation. This Survey Process is less Time Consuming, Cost effective, and map prepared through it is of high level accuracy. Land is the mainstay of all developmental activities. It is impossible to conceive development without land. Now, it is being widely regarded that efficiency in land management is one of the indices of developmental status in the State. In our society, ownership of land has an emotional and social value. In an agrarian economy like ours, it is treated as an instrument for economic growth.
Ownership of land not only provides socio- economic security but also invests its owner with certain privileges. In view of the above, survey, preparation and maintenance of record of rights are important facets of revenue administration particularly for odisha which is predominantly an agricultural economy. The survey and settlement operations are being carried out in the State by following conventional methods which are time consuming, cumbersome and exorbitantly expensive. The very purpose of survey and settlement is defeated if the operation takes a long time as changes in the ownership and status of land are a continuous process. In this electronic age, as the State embarks on e- Governance initiatives, it is necessary to revamp the survey and settlement system to keep pace with the time to provide service that are fair, efficient and transparent to the land owners of the State. The Govt. of India has launched a flagship programme called "National Land Records Modernization Programme" which inter alia provides for computerization of land records including mutation, digitization of maps, survey/re- survey using modern technology including aerial photography, computerization of registration and its integration with land records maintenance system, training and capacity building of concerned officials and functionaries. Keeping the above facts in view, the Odisha Special Survey and Settlement Act, 2012 has been enacted which provides for undertaking survey and settlement operations in the State by adopting modern technology to minimize the time span without compromising quality, transparency and grievance redressal. Instead of traditional methods like gunter chain, Plain Table or Thedolite Survey, modern technology is being adopted which includes Aerial photography, High Resolution Satellite Imagery, Differential Global Positioning System and Electronic Total System During the stage of preparation of preliminary record of rights, a team of persons shall be constituted to update and prepare basicrecord of rights with the assistance of licensed surveyors. The team of persons shall physically verify each plot of the concerned revenue village with the map and shall take in to account the ground realities, changes, transfers, subdivisions. partitions, hereditary devolution, exchanges and the like in matters of determining right, title and ownership of the land holdings.during the field verification, the team of persons shall identify and demarcate lands, government lands, lands treated as common property resources and record the same in
Preliminary Record of Rights. After preparation of preliminary record of rights land owner wise, claims and objections are invited from the land owners and interested persons and the same are disposed of within a maximum period of thirty working days of filing such claims and objections by an officer not below the rank of Tahasildar after following the prescribed procedure. The draft record of rights including map prepared and attested by the Tahasildar shall be published for a period of thirty days in the prescribed manner inviting claims and objections. The claims and objections shall be disposed of in a summary manner by an officer not below the rank of Addl. Sub- Collector within a maximum period of sixty days. In order to prepare the record of rights and map of a village correctly, the 'Recess' in introduced where the final checking of records, fair copying, comparing and arrangement of records alphabetically according to the names of land owners are carried out in the prescribed manner. There after record of rights of a revenue village are published finally under the hand and seal of the collector.any land owner or any person who has an interest in land may file claims and objections against the entries of the finally published record of rights including the map within three months from the date of final publication. The claim and objections so filed shall be heard and disposed of by an officer not below the rank of Addl. District Magistrate in the prescribed manner. The Act provides that every entry in the record of rights prepared and finally published shall be evidence of the matter referred to in such entry and shall be presumed to be correct unless it is proved by evidence to be incorrect. Presumption of correctness shall be attached to the later settlement entry till such presumption is dispelled or rebutted by convincing evidence and wherever there is conflict between the previous entry and latter entry, the latter entry must prevail. In order to ensure efficient, accurate and transparent delivery mechanism and conflict resolution in ownership of land, an inbuilt computerized and digital system of maintenance of record of rights including map is essential. To accomplish this task, adequate provisions are made under the Act for engagement of technically qualified persons (Licensed surveyors) on outsourcing basis to prepare maps to scale, update maps prepared in course of cadastral and revisional survey, prepare record of rights in post mapping stage, facilitate inter
connectivity among revenue offices etc.the Odisha Special Survey and Settlement Rules, 2012 provides elaborate procedure to carry out the purposes of the Act and also envisages to issue technical guidelines with regard to method of survey by modern technology, works to be done during different stages of survey and settlement operations, the manner of maintenance and making available the record of rights and map of a revenue village in digital form to interested persons and the technical aspects of work of the Licensed Surveyors. Advantages of re-survey using modern technologies Maximum use of machines-errors due to human factors in survey and map preparation are negated Availability of modern techniques which are more accurate, less time consuming and cost effective. Coordinate based ground control points- no fear of misplacement. Final output in digital form- further updation How is Hi-Tech Survey being conducted. Role of Revenue Officials in verification, validation, and preparation of RoR and maps under Odisha Special Survey and Settlement Act & Rule 2012 Methods used in Hi-Tech Survey These are of Three type Pure ground method using ETS & DGPS. Hybrid method using Aerial Photography and ground truthing by ETS & DGPS. Hybrid method using High Resolution Satellite Imagery and ground truthing by ETS & DGPS. STEPS FOR RESURVEY
1. Ground control point (gcp) establishment monumentation 2. Aerial photography or Tasking and acquisition of worldview stereo satellite data, digitization of existing cadastral maps and authenticated up-to-date record of rights (ror) 3. Orthoimage generation and ground validation 4. Georeferencing of cadastral map for village boundary and area confirmation 5. parcel vector generation from ortho-image 6. Field validation of image derived parcel vector 7. Obscured area survey 8. Vectorisation and integration of mutation data up to the date of survey notification 9. integration of field survey vector with image derived vector to 10.Generate the draft cadastral map 11.Finalisation of draft cadastral map Establishment of Ground Control Point Network Primary GCPs- 16 km x 16 km Secondary GCPs- 4 km x 4 km Tertiary GCPS- 1 km x 1 km Primary and Secondary GCPs have permanent value and hence need to be preserved.
Appointment of Vendor/ Agency The Director Land Record and Survey will appoint one or more vendor/agency having technical qualification of Survey and Preparatin of map and ROR. Acquisition of Stereo Satellite Data/ Aerial Photographs Satellite data need to be procured from National Remote Sensing Agency, Hyderabad. In other case the aerial photographs need to be taken by low flying aircrafts loaded with GPS and high resolution camera. Geo-referencing of Sabik Digital Cadastral Map and delineation of Village boundary on the ortho-image After completion of Geo-referencing, the Survey Team will delineate the Village Boundary on the ortho-image; adjust, if required, the boundary vector at, Edge Plots to ensure that it runs on the physical demarcation features and finalize the Village Boundary on the image. The area computed from the newly generated Village Boundary should be confirmed by the competent authority.

CONCLUSION : After successfully piloting high-tech land survey in nine districts, the State Government has decided to roll it out to other districts.the Revenue department has been asked to work out a detailed project report (DPR) for undertaking high-tech survey of the land in the entire State. A sub-committee was formed under the chairmanship of Principal Secretary IT P.K. Jena to look in to storage, security and usability of the data. Representatives from National Informatics Centre (NIC), Directorate of Land Records, Odisha Remote Sensing Application Centre (ORSAC) and Odisha Computer Application Centre (OCAC) are members of the committee. Meanwhile, Record of Rights (RoR) of all 51,675 revenue villages have been computerised and put online in Bhulekh website. Maps of 51,612 villages have been also digitised and uploaded in the website..presently, re-survey work of the land records through modern technologies have been taken up in 9 districts namely Cuttack, Khordha, Ganjam, Keonjhar, Deogarh, Sundargarh, Bolangir, Subarnapur and Sambalpur.
