Introduction :
Not long ago, using computers involved specialized knowledge and skills, but today even the technologically challenged can get the information and utility they need from a personal computer with little or no assistance. Similarly, land use & infrastructural development analysis once involved pouring over statistics and interpreting reams of tabular data. Today there is a better way. Using a geographical information system (GIS) anyone who can point and click can analyze sophisticated demographic information and prepare a reasoned analysis in an easy-to-read, graphically interesting format.
Vision
The administration and Community will be able to access and use spatial data needed to achieve its environmental, socio-economic and infrastructural development monitoring expectations.
Mission
To establish, maintain and disseminate integrated, reliable and relevant spatial data for whole of government and community use.
Objectives
- Promote community awareness of the availability, use and benefits of spatial data.
- Provide equitable local access to spatial data through appropriate means.
- Achieve economies through the integration and sharing of data.
- Ensure consistent, accurate, reliable and current data services to meet community needs.
- Stimulate growth in the spatial data industry.
- Lead the State in spatial data industry.
- Support State Government administration in decesion making.
The Theme:
Land is a natural resource with a fixed location and a limited size. It forms a base for most of the human activities. With the continued migration of people from villages to the cities the pressure on land has increased. Therefore the management of land has acquired added importance for more production, intensive and scientific cultivation and profitable land use. Land and its ownership is a matter of concern to all landowners large or small. With growth of population and rapid industrialization, pressure on land is on the increase resulting into increasing encroachment on land belonging to and those set apart for public purpose. Hence, both the state and individual owners of land need to know with certainty and accuracy the boundaries and extent of their property.
Land information is vital for a larger number and groups of user. The information has value and therefore, is marketable. Moreover, the availability of the information to public is in keeping with the transparency that the government is looking for at present. Key features, which are required to be addressed in making Land Information available to all users across the spectrum and provide near real-time updating facilities together with data security, are the key features. In addition, keeping in mind the Indian rural environment, the state of communications today and the likely scenario in the near future, the solution must have adaptability to upgrade.
What is JAIPUR-GIS ?
JAIPUR-GIS, Interactive Distributed Spatial Land Record Information System is a client-server tool designed for Intranet/Internet sites. The system provides a user friendly GIS front-end to enable multiple local and remote clients to perform routine Land related queries for its ownership, holding, lease and ceiling details including full details of Zamabandi. The software has the capabilities of viewing, query and spatial analysis functions, on distributed geographic data. The combination of Web technologies coupled with a commercially viable GIS software will help enable land use and natural resource managers to analyze GIS data that resides across the Internet.
Objective of JAIPUR-GIS:
Objectives of the proposed system is as under:
- To enable the government to create, update and maintain important land information in an efficient, cost effective and secure manner.
- To make the information available to selective user(s) for a price.
- To enable the system to use the presently available technology optimally and resources available in terms of communications, hardware and software yet enable easy upgradation with enhanced facilities available in future.
- To keep track on land resources
- To generate land use database for further planning
- To resolve the land ownership issues.
- To stop the encroachment of govt. land.
- To enhance the power of Resource planners.
- To increase the govt. revenue through proper tax planning.
