Chandigarh gears up for urban land survey under NAKSHA
CHANDIGARH : A meeting was held Monday to review the implementation of NAKSHA project in the UT on a pilot basis. Chaired by the deputy commissioner-cum-nodal officer for the project, it saw key stakeholders, including representatives from the revenue and urban planning departments, the municipal corporation, and the State Project Management Unit (SPMU), in attendance. The meeting focused on accelerating the preparatory activities crucial to the commencement of the urban land survey under the NAKSHA initiative, which forms a critical component of the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP). Emphasising directives and action points, including capacity building of field survey teams, DC Nishant Kumar Yadav said, "The training of the 20 field survey teams must be expedited. The training will cover technical procedures, use of geospatial equipment, survey protocols, and public engagement guidelines to ensure uniformity and precision in field data collection." The deputy commissioner directed the officials concerned to take immediate steps to issue formal notifications pertaining to the commencement of the survey, along with clearly demarcated areas to be covered. In addition, he said, the constitution and deployment of field survey teams must be formalised to ensure the smooth execution of the survey process. Furthermore, appellate authorities should be appointed to address grievances and disputes, thereby establishing a clear and accountable mechanism for public participation and resolution. Regarding the acquisition and processing of foundational maps, the departments concerned have been instructed to collect existing cadastral plans of the five identified villages — Sarangpur, Burail, Kajheri, Palsora, and Attawa — and layout plans of sectors 2 to 17 (excluding sector 13). These maps form the cartographic foundation for the geospatial survey. The collected maps will be scanned, geo-referenced, and digitised to develop GIS-compatible layers. These digital layers will serve as critical base reference data to guide the survey operations and ensure accuracy in mapping and recording land parcels. The deputy commissioner underscored the importance of synergy among departments and strict adherence to timelines. He highlighted that the successful implementation of the NAKSHA project in Chandigarh will lay the groundwork for transparent, accurate, and citizen-friendly urban land governance. The initiative is poised to reduce property-related disputes, enhance infrastructure planning, and improve service delivery by urban local bodies.
