Modernizing the Land Information System (LIS) is an important task of the present world. Without cadastral mapping the aim of LIS could not be achieved. Cadastral Maps should be treated as base maps for all the land related information .At present the cadastral maps are hand made maps on cloth paper and can not take it granted that these maps are fully corrected due to various reasons. So the prima-facie task of all the modern methods of information technology should be focused on to correct these maps . In other terms the area shown on the maps in the required scale should be error free. The basic problem in mapping computerization is the availablity of maps in good condition with required scale. Secondly the availabilty of cost effective solution of the information technology for the purpose.
An approach can be made towards consolidation maps to be considerd as base map which are already existing every where in the State. It should be corrected through all technical inputs like digitization at the time when consolidation completes under section 21 and the plot boundry should be corrected according to the entry made in khataouni (Record of Right). This process will take approximately 5 years to complete the task in the State. Once the maps are corrected as far as area of plots and village are concerned, LIS starts. This approach will reduce the pendancy of section 28 of ZA , 302 and 107/116 of CRPC. Corrected digital maps will save many acres of govt land and actual benefit will go to land holders .
The use of GIS , GPS and total stations stands no meaning at this juncture or consider these instruments for re-survey which is another time taken process. Authors feel that there is no need of re-survey the land through buying and holding such sophasticated instruments like total station , GPS and Aerial photography. However the use of GPS can be considered for fixing village boundries by georeferencing.
