Section 1: Introduction
Haryana is one of very few states, where property Registration and the Land
Records Administration work have been merged with a single department and a
single Revenue officer “designated as Tehsildar / Naib-Tehsildar” functions
as Sub-Registrar while handling the work of property registration and he
functions as CRO while handling the work of Land Records Administration.
The workflow based Property Registration Information System (HARIS- Haryana
Registration Information System) and Land Records Management system
(HALRIS - Haryana Land Records Information System) were developed by NIC-
HSU, implemented, standardized and stabilized across the state. The computer
printed copies of RORs are issued with the seal and signatures of Patwari posted
at the HALRIS Centres. Two-dimensional bar code is also being used to secure
the computer generated RORs.
After development & implementation of dynamically integrated Property
Registration System (HARIS) and Land Records Management system (HALRIS)
in Haryana, NIC Haryana has further dynamically integrated the HALRIS #
HARIS Bridge (Textual data of Jamabandi Records) and Spatial (digitized
Cadastral Maps) data, using customized Bhu-Naksha Software.
The HARIS # HALRIS # Bhu-Naksha linkage provides a complete integrated
solution for the management of Land Records and Property Registration work in
the State as per major goals & objectives of NLRMP.
Now under the centrally sponsored scheme, National Land Record
Modernization Programme (NLRMP), this project is envisaged for Digitization
and Updation of existing Cadastral maps and complete document management
of old records.
This project is to be implemented by the Department of Revenue, Disaster
Management.
Section 2: Objectives
   1. Digitization of cadastral maps using existing Musavis, High Resolution
      Satellite Imagery (HRSI) and integration with Records of Rights (RoR) in
      GIS layers depicting Geographic information (the property co-ordinates,
      the actual measurements as per ground reality and musavi), attributes
      information (based on RoR Survey Performa), its interlinking with optimum
      precision.
   2. To generate integrated, Geo-referenced village/tehsil/District mosaic of
      cadastral maps.
                                                                              2
   3. The citizens should be able to obtain the drawing of their land alongwith
      dimensions, area (as on ground and also as per RoR), attributes and
      neighborhood details.
   4. The property maps should be able to integrate with the Record of Rights
      and web application.
   5. To enable better planning of resources.
   6. To enable better monitoring of Govt. lands such as shamlat lands.
   7. To identify the encroachments on public/private properties.
   8. Help in Disaster Management.
   9. Additional benefits like identification of properties for crop compensation,
      crop insurance, encumbrances etc.
The Expression of Interest is invited from interested and eligible parties to
present best possible methodology and technology to achieve the above
mentioned objectives of the project.
Section 3: Scope of work
The process of creation of Cadastral Information System (CIS) will involve Geo-
referencing of High Resolution Satellite Image (HRSI), Digitization/redrawing of
Mussavis, Field Verification, Public Validation, Attribute addition, linking with RoR
and fixing Sehadda stones. After the successful completion of this job, the
vendor should provide support for 3 years for maintaining record, updation,
imparting training etc.
The detail scope of work is given below and will subject to change based on feed
back from vendor.
Digitization:
       Revenue department will provide the existing musavies and vendor
agency will scan the musavies and give the hard copy to the revenue department
for updating. Revenue department will return the updated copy of the Musavi to
the vendor agency for digitization. Digitized musavies will be geo-referenced with
the help of High-resolution satellite imagery (HRSI). Vendor will also do the
ground truthing of digitized musavies using the ETS/GPS.
                                                                                     3
Methodology for digitization
   1.    Scanning of the village map to create a computer image of the map,
         which is known as a raster map. The maps to be scanned at 300 dpi
         Colour (as per requirement) mode for normal cases, and 400 dpi on
         24-bit color for damaged or destroyed musavies whose boundaries are
         not clear.
   2.    The next step involves going over the outline of the village boundary
         on the computer image of the map with the mouse and marking the
         outlines of each plot. This process, known as vectorisation, provides
         the coordinates of each point on the map.
   3.    A printout of this vectorised map is given to the Revenue Department
         by the digitizing agency (which could be the vendor if the work is
         outsourced) for thorough checking with the original cadastral map. The
         Revenue Department checks the vectorized map on a glass table with
         the original map placed below it. This process is known as the table
         check. Every line and point on the two maps has to match. The
         correctness of the digitized map is certified by the Revenue
         Department.    If any error is detected, the same has to be rectified by
         the vendor/digitizing agency.
   4.    The software used in the digitization process creates a number of files.
         Each of these files pertains to a GIS-based layer and each layer
         consists of three files. The GIS data are organized in layers. Each
         layer contains a subset of information that would be present on a
         regular map, such as (1) geographic information (where something is
         located), (2) attributes information (what is located at a specific
         location), and (3) its interlinking information. These three sets of
         information are represented in three physical files in the computer. All
         the files are put in a storage device (e.g., a CD) and given to the
                                                                               4
         Revenue Department for checking. If any error is detected, the same
         has to be rectified.
   5.    The GIS layers are of three types: point layers, line layers & area
         layers. Symbols used to record the legends to mark the objects such
         as wells, temples etc. are to be incorporated in all the three layers, i.e.,
         point, line and area layers.
   6.    Once the Revenue Department has cleared the vectorised map and
         the files, the digitizing agency proceeds to add each of the handwritten
         information on the original map except the signature at the bottom
         given out neatly typed.
Following points must be addressed during the digitization: -
   a) The missing (the features present on the ground but not on Mussavis) and
      invalid (the features present in Mussavis but not on the ground) features
      should be digitized and reflected in separate layers.
   b) Updated geo-referenced Mussavis should show the roads/canals/water
      bodies/railway lines as existing, missing or invalid features in separate
      layers.
   c) The property dimensions and area should be shown in the metric system
      as well as the traditional system.
   d) Vendor will also generate the field book of the village from the digitized
      musavies.
   e) The details of the plots should be shown in the attribute table (Area as per
      RoR, Ownership details etc) along with actual ground dimensions.
      Comparison of area and dimensions should be done.
   f) Encroachments, excess areas and measurement discrepancies should be
      highlighted (different color scheme) in the Mussavis.
   g) The precision in linear and area measurements should be 99%.
      Accuracy of 30 cm on ground should be achieved.
   h) Linkage with ROR: The vendor will provide the digitized musavies in the
      form of Shape files as per the format specified by the NIC. These shape
                                                                                   5
      files must contain the attribute data required to integrate with the HALRIS
      (Haryana Land Records Information System) of NIC. Separate shape files
      should be provided for each layer digitized by the vendor. If some
      discrepancies are there between the ROR data and digitized musavies
      then vendor will do the ground survey for removing the discrepancies.
   i) Sehda Stone: There should be one revenue stone (including Sehdas) per
      sq.Km as per the location of GCPs. The vendor will assign a unique ID
      and location coordinates to every revenue stone (including Sehadas). The
      data about the exact geo-referenced coordinates of Sehadas & other
      revenue stones should be communicated to the Revenue department. The
      Sehadas and revenue stones should be inscribed with unique code for
      access of coordinates.
Document Management of Old Records:
  a) Scanning of Misal Hakiyat copy of Jamabandi
   b) Scanning of all the deeds registered during last 12 years
   c) Cataloguing and indexing of all the scanned documents
   d) Storage of scanned documents in soft format
   e) Security of scanned documents
   f) Software for indexing and retrieval of scanned documents
Others details:
The agency should provide the mosaic output in shape file or geo-database
format for each village, each tehsil and district on DVD in duplicate.
Geo-referenced raster data of musavis also should be provided on DVD with
proper codification and index. Retrieval software should be provided.
The bidder will be bound by the guidelines issued under National Land Records
Modernization      Programme    (NLRMP)       available  at    their  website
http://www.dolr.nic.in.
