BhuNaksha: source of cadastral maps

[Sharad Lele]

Dear All,

I have discovered a source of cadastral maps for several states. This is mostly under the BhuNaksha initiative of NIC. They seem to have created separate websites for each state. Don't know for how many. I have found:

Maharashtra: https://mahabhunakasha.mahabhumi.gov.in/bhunaksha/27/index.jsp

Madhya Pradesh: http://www.mpbhuabhilekh.nic.in/

Chhattisgarh: https://bhunaksha.cg.nic.in/#home-pane  (DOES NOT WORK RIGHT NOW)

Odisha: http://bhunakshaodisha.nic.in/bhunaksha/

The BhuNaksha websites have a common format: you can choose district, taluka and village, and then the village cadastral map shows up (its in png format). You can click on a plot/parcel, and it will show the details of that plot: area, owner name, etc. You can generate  pdf report for that parcel.

Maharashtra version had added ability to show you the cadastral map in geo-rectified mode on top of a google-earth-like satellite image--quite useful.

CATCH: a) the names of district, taluka, village etc are IN THE STATE SCRIPT: so devanagari for MP & Maha & CG, but Odiya for Odisha. So if you don't read that script--you are sunk

b) in most states (except Maharashtra!), it is not enough to know the district, taluka and village name. Within a taluka, you have know Revenue Inspector and then something called 'halka', and then choose from the villages within that halka. If you don't know this (RI and halka), you have to do brute force: search in each halka in each RI! (typical sarkari rubbish: not wanting common people to actually use the website!).

Karnataka seems to have its own initiative: https://www.landrecords.karnataka.gov.in/service3/

Here, you can actually download pdfs of each cadastral map, and in some cases, even the KML! And searching for the village is district, taluka and then village.

Hope this helps.

I am sure there are more such websites for other states. Please look up and share.

Dear Sharad, 

Have you looked at Bharatmaps...

They have all the census villages all marked up and much more. 

https://bharatmaps.gov.in/map.aspx

They have all the SOI layers on the map as well. 

Good to visualize.

Dear Prabhakar:

Thanks for the link. I looked it up. It is rather awkward to use, and I could not see SOI layers. Most important, there is no cadastral information, only village boundaries. And of course, like in the other cases, the boundary is not downloadable.

Best,
Sharad

Dear All,

A followup question addressed to everyone on the DATAMEET group:

Can someone write code to help download a large number of cadastral maps from a Bhunaksha website (in our case Chhattisgarh)? As you know, the website /portal is awkwardly organized: not only are the maps in png format (which is okay) but they don't have individual file names, and one has to access each village separately by choosing it from a list within a taluka (and within that some Revenue Inspector category).

Can someone write code to download and tag a bunch of maps automatically? Say for one whole taluka?

Its quite possible. I've used python+selenium to automate browser for a horribly designed website. You can tweak it for your usage: https://github.com/dilawar/GreenWatchData

Dear Dilawar:

Many thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately, I am a complete ignoramus when it comes to Python, selenium or even accessing stuff from GitHub :-[

Is there any way that you (or anyone else) can help? (Sorry, probably asking too much here!)

The site is http://bhunaksha.cg.nic.in/

(It appears to have gone down today, should be up tomorrow or so).

Hello Sharad

Here you go: https://gitlab.com/dilawar/bhunaksha/-/tree/master

Currently only district images of MP are downloaded and added to repository above. You can browse them (link above) or download as a zip file from here: https://gitlab.com/dilawar/bhunaksha/-/archive/v2020.04.26/bhunaksha-v2020.04.26.zip .

Couple of samples are attached with this email. I am not sure what exactly is needed. If you can send couple of screenshots of what exactly is needed, I can tweak this script a bit over next weekend.

Note that canvas size is small since I was using a laptop.

PS: The script is released under GNU GPLv3. 

best,

The updated script is available publicly on Gitlab https://gitlab.com/snippets/1982028 . It has to be tweaked for different states.
