Sodic Land reclamation Monitoring system with Web based GIS as IT Tool
Web based MIS with GIS integration
For headquarters, MIS and related packages have been developed in Sybase RDBMS version 11.0.3.3 as backend tool and Power Builder 6.0 in front-end tool and SQL Anywhere 5.0 a multi-user PC based RDBMS is being used in districts.
The scope of the MIS systems involves capturing all physical activities that take place right in the field, from collection of baseline information to reclamation of the sodic land. Some of these activities are: (a) Collection of baseline information of farmers, and (b) Collection of plot-wise baseline information about B+, B or C land categories.
The village level project activities are monitored on the basis of reclamation year areas. The reclamation year is used for identify the list of villages, where the no. of activities during reclamation are going on. The package is designed to automatically generate different subsidies provided to farmers according to the plot area and type of land of each farmer, such as (a) Amendment (Gypsum), (b) Fertilizers (Urea, Zinc etc.), (c) Seed (Paddy etc.). The following are the main activities, which are captured in their MIS database at PMU level:
- Village profile
- PMU villages with district, Tehsil & Block year wise
- Beneficiaries profile
- Land allotment
- New
- Old
- Sodic area selected for reclamation
- WUG & A/c status
- Soil test
- Boring status
- Pump set status
- OFD activities
- Link drain
- Field Drain
- Irrigation Channel
- Leveling
- Bunding
- Gypsum distribution
- Press mud distribution
- Leaching
- Crop
- Horticulture
- Transplantation
- Input Kharif
- Paddy seed
- Paddy Nursery (Urea, DAP, Zinc)
- Paddy Basal (Urea, Zinc)
- Paddy Top (Urea)
- Input Rabi
- Wheat seed
- Wheat Basal (Urea, DAP, MOP, Zinc)
- Wheat Top
- Zaid-I (Dhaincha seed)
- Zaid-II (Dhaincha seed)
PMC
- WSHG village wise status
- MSHG village wise status
The above information is collected from the village field level and being fed into computer on regular basis at PMU computers. Now the question arises that how these information be utilized for monitoring purpose on day-to-day basis by various agencies, line departments and stack holders associated with UP Land Reclamation Project.
As today, IT has a very important role in communication and data manipulation in affordable cost, the answer of the question is web based GIS as IT tool that can be used for effective monitoring of the project.
The area of the project is vast and spread over on 17 odd districts. The minimum and maximum distances of the project district from head Quarter are 40 KM to 500 KM and project is covering approx 2600 village where work is in progress. The data is collecting from all project villages as stated above depending on activities schedules and selection year of the villages. These all MIS data collected from the fields are maintained on sophisticated Relational Data Base Management System at PMUs level and integrate with HQ database for monitoring and analysis purpose as required by various departments.
As the web based technology is available in affordable cost in all project areas and thus it can be utilized to integrate all information collected at PMUs computer on web on daily basis and thus database at web would be updated and integrate with digitized map as GIS. This is the base for location wise monitoring as per activities schedules.
At present, all 17 project districts maps are digitized with village boundaries and available on GIS server at HQ. Thus web-based query on the existing data would be possible at the three different levels:
- State level
- District level
- Village level
The main purpose of this query-based application is to establish a decision support and monitoring system for entire project. This would enable the user to set his/her own criteria based on different parameters and then come up with output that would be displayed on the map. The output would be in the form of the most suitable area displayed on the map and hence, ease decision making on the part of the user.
