The Digital Cadastral Map/Layer Generation and Conclusive Titling of Land Parcels Using Hybrid Technology (Aerial/High-Resolution Image (HRSI) and DGPS and ETS Survey) Adopted by Govt. of Odisha Under Digital India Land Record Modernization Programme (DILRMP), Govt. of India—The Technical Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

To bring efficacy in survey, creation, and updation of Land Records within a short time span with perfection and accuracy compared to the old method of survey and record preparation, the High-Tech Survey involving High-Resolution Satellite/Aerial Orthoimage, Differential Global Position System (DGPS) and Electronic Total Station (ETS) has been initiated in the State under the umbrella of Digital Land Record Modernization Program (DILRMP), a Govt. of India flagship program. The Odisha Special Survey and Settlement Act, 2012 has been enacted by the Government of Odisha to facilitate such Survey. The four costal Districts and five Western Districts of the State were taken in the first phase using HRSI and Aerial Survey Methodology, respectively. Odisha Space Applications Centre (ORSAC) is the technical collaborator to Revenue and Disaster Management Department (R&DM), Govt. of Odisha for this activity. A Standard Operating procedure (SOP) is prepared to facilitate the revenue officials in the field to overcome the technical challenges faced during execution.
