The state has gone through a series of distinct Land reforms which have resulted in the
fragmentation of holdings.
The massive and drastic changes and fragmentation in the holdings made the exact
reflection of these changes impossible to be implemented on the 100 year old Cadastral
Maps. The net effect came as inevitability of fresh Survey and Settlement Operations.
The cutting edge technology of land parcel survey Estate holdings to “mm“ accuracy with
Electronic Total Station was introduced in 1998. Six Electronic Total Stations of make
Topcon and Sokia were procured to start Pilot survey on same number of villages. The
departmental staff with the Patwari as surveyor were trained by the machine vendors. The
pilot projects/schemes of six villages were successfully completed through the
departmental staff.
The successful completion of the pilot paved way for the procurement of about Hundred
ETS machines upto the year 2005. Hundred Survey teams with the following
composition were trained to the job by organizing a number of training programs where
Surveyors from Japan, Singapore and Swizerland imparted the Survey training through
ETS to staff.
1. Surveyor (Patwari/GQ) 1
2. Settlement Assistant (Prism-man) 2
For the team supervision and management Naib-Tehsildars were trained.
