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).

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 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?

        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
        <https://mahabhunakasha.mahabhumi.gov.in/bhunaksha/27/index.jsp>
        Madhya Pradesh: http://www.mpbhuabhilekh.nic.in/
        <http://www.mpbhuabhilekh.nic.in/>
        Chhattisgarh: https://bhunaksha.cg.nic.in/#home-pane
        <https://bhunaksha.cg.nic.in/#home-pane> (DOES NOT WORK RIGHT NOW)
        Odisha: http://bhunakshaodisha.nic.in/bhunaksha/
        <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/
        <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.

        Sharad
