Govt to digitise land records of Goa's urban areas
Panaji: State govt has decided to digitise land records of Goa's urban bodies to ensure accurate and reliable documentation of ownership. Towards this end, a survey under the National Geospatial Knowledge-Based Land Survey of Urban Habitations (NAKSHA) programme will be conducted. The initiative is expected to empower citizens, improve ease of living, enhance urban planning, and reduce land-related disputes. State govt, under the NAKSHA project, has invited qualified bidders for the appointment of a consulting agency to establish a state project management unit (SPMU) that will be responsible for the effective and efficient implementation, monitoring, and management of the NAKSHA project, with specific focus on land administration, geospatial technology, GIS, and remote sensing. The SPMU will be entrusted with the planning and coordination of project activities. 'It will ensure project implementation aligns with objectives and timelines. It will also provide technical and administrative support to all stakeholders,' a senior official said. 'The unit will be coordinating with relevant stakeholders, including govt bodies, local authorities and other project partners, and monitoring and evaluating the progress of project activities and outcomes. ' The IT-based system for property record administration is expected to foster transparency, efficiency, and support sustainable development. Survey of India — the technical partner for the NAKSHA programme — will be responsible for conducting aerial surveys and providing orthorectified imagery through third-party vendors to state and Union Territory govts. Orthorectification is a process in remote sensing that corrects distortions in aerial or satellite imagery to create a geometrically accurate, map-like representation. The states are scheduled to conduct field surveys and ground truthing using orthorectified imagery, ultimately leading to the final publication of urban and semi-urban land records.

Chandigarh gears up for urban land survey under NAKSHA
CHANDIGARH : A meeting was held Monday to review the implementation of NAKSHA project in the UT on a pilot basis. Chaired by the deputy commissioner-cum-nodal officer for the project, it saw key stakeholders, including representatives from the revenue and urban planning departments, the municipal corporation, and the State Project Management Unit (SPMU), in attendance. The meeting focused on accelerating the preparatory activities crucial to the commencement of the urban land survey under the NAKSHA initiative, which forms a critical component of the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP). Emphasising directives and action points, including capacity building of field survey teams, DC Nishant Kumar Yadav said, "The training of the 20 field survey teams must be expedited. The training will cover technical procedures, use of geospatial equipment, survey protocols, and public engagement guidelines to ensure uniformity and precision in field data collection." The deputy commissioner directed the officials concerned to take immediate steps to issue formal notifications pertaining to the commencement of the survey, along with clearly demarcated areas to be covered. In addition, he said, the constitution and deployment of field survey teams must be formalised to ensure the smooth execution of the survey process. Furthermore, appellate authorities should be appointed to address grievances and disputes, thereby establishing a clear and accountable mechanism for public participation and resolution. Regarding the acquisition and processing of foundational maps, the departments concerned have been instructed to collect existing cadastral plans of the five identified villages — Sarangpur, Burail, Kajheri, Palsora, and Attawa — and layout plans of sectors 2 to 17 (excluding sector 13). These maps form the cartographic foundation for the geospatial survey. The collected maps will be scanned, geo-referenced, and digitised to develop GIS-compatible layers. These digital layers will serve as critical base reference data to guide the survey operations and ensure accuracy in mapping and recording land parcels. The deputy commissioner underscored the importance of synergy among departments and strict adherence to timelines. He highlighted that the successful implementation of the NAKSHA project in Chandigarh will lay the groundwork for transparent, accurate, and citizen-friendly urban land governance. The initiative is poised to reduce property-related disputes, enhance infrastructure planning, and improve service delivery by urban local bodies.
