BhuNaksha (Integrated Solution for Mutation of Digitized Cadastral Maps and FMBs Digitized using CollabLand)
Bhu-Naksha is a cadastral mapping software developed by NIC using Open source applications and libraries to facilitate management of digitized cadastral maps. The scanning, digitization, verification of cadastral maps are the pre-processes and input to BhuNaksha application. BhuNaksha has been integrated with CollabLand which is a software product for Digitization and Mosaicing of Land Survey Maps for computerization of Land Records under Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). It is purely developed using open source technologies and tools. It is being developed and maintained as a single product that supports various survey systems and catering to needs ranging from digitization of individual land parcel maps to mosaicing and geo-referencing of village maps. The integrated solution has been customized for states like TamilNadu, Puducherry, Lakshadweep and Andhra Pradesh. This facility has enhanced the BhuNaksha Application as a single software product to cater the needs of varying surveying methodologies prevailing in the Country.
With proper customization BhuNaksha can be integrated with existing Land Records application of any states that deals with textual data. ROR database can be virtually in any RDBMS. For overcoming diverse structure of ROR database in different states BhuNaksha defines certain interfaces for talking with ROR database. The interfaces are implemented differently for different states based on the structure of that state’s ROR database. In this way the same BhuNaksha application workbench can be used for any state just by plugging the particular state's implementation of ROR interfaces. Various operations like storage of the maps, display of village maps, display of a land parcels related to owners, division of land parcels, import of ETS data and updation of plots because of mutations. It also has an Android based light version for smartphones.
