[Talk-in] Koorachundu Grama Panchayat Mapping - reg.

[Jaisen Nedumpala]

 It has been decided to conduct an an OpenStreetMap mapping exercise in
Koorachundu Grama Panchayat from 22/12/2018 to 28/12/2018. Aim of this
programme is to map the remaining resources in Koorachundu Grama Panchayat.
The programme will be conducted with the coordinated technical support from
the GeoMinds, Swathanthra Malayalam Computing and the OpenStreetMap
community.
Approximately 180 NSS volunteers in total from the CKGM Govt. College,
Perambra and Govt. Engineering College, Kozhikode, will take part in this
exercise. The programme will be held with the minimum facilities, because

other major arrangements are yet to be done. We request everyone's help,
and involvement for this programme. Cheers..!

[Talk-in] Need a few GPS receivers - reg.

[Jaisen Nedumpala]

Hi all,

We are planning a mapping exercise here in Koorachundu village, after this
month of March. Those who don't know where is Koorachundu please follow the
links below.

Right now we don't have any handheld GPS receivers for this. Our
smartphones (with location facility, and installed tracking apps) have
limited usability here because, the battery drains up quickly.

Can anybody spare a few handheld GPS Receivers for this venture?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Talk-in] Boundary tagging scheme for India

Yes. Through legislation or through government notification. Changes in
Cadastral boundaries / Revenue village boundaries are usually done through
government notification.

These are the boundaries defined by the Election Commission of India and
Delimitation Commission of India. Usually the boundaries of Legislative
Assembly Constituencies are defined as the grouping of Local Self
Government Institutions.


>

Boundaries of Legislative Aassembly Constituencies are defined as the
grouping of Local authorities like village panchayats, and municipalities,
but in the areas of larger local authorities like Municipal Corporations,
those are defined as a grouping of Corporation Wards.

See:

http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/pdf/03-DELIMITATION/01-FO-KERALA.pdf

Legislative Assembly Constituency is defined as, that one will fit within
the boundaries of a revenue district. A revenue district will include
several such Legislative Assembly Constituencies. The Parliament
Constituency is defined as a grouping of Legislative Assembly
Constituencies and which may span through more than one revenue district.

See:

http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/pdf/03-DELIMITATION/03-DELIMITED-LAC.pdf
http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/pdf/03-DELIMITATION/02-DELIMITED-HPC.pdf


>

The boundaries of Local Self Government Institutions are defined by STATE
Election Commissions, and Delimitation commissions of each State.

See:
http://sec.kerala.gov.in/
http://delimitation.lsgkerala.gov.in/


>

Can be bifurcated too.

>
>
Neighbourhood is a smaller entity than ward/gram sabha in Kerala.
Approximately 20-50 numbers of neighbourhoods will be there in Ward / gram
sabha.


> Urban:
> 6=city/town municipal body, 8=sub city/municipal zones,
> 10=suburb/municipal ward, 11=neighborhood/colony mohalla
>

Also, The cantonment area are governed by cantonment boards, those areas
doesn't come within the rural / urban local bodies.

Hai,

Thank you Alex. I got some new insights from the shared post. Thank you
once again. :)


2015-03-22 9:25 GMT+05:30 Alex Barth a...@mapbox.com:

 This is a very impressive initiative, thank you for sharing. It is a
 living example of what Mikel is talking about in yesterday's post:

 For government, OpenStreetMap is more than just data, it's a
 transformation

Hai Shravan and Arun Ganesh,

Yes, definitely you people can join us. we really want to improve the
OpenStreetMap in our area. And experienced hands could contribute a lot in
this regard. But the Village Panchayat is unable to fund for it right now.
We are in search of some other ways to meet the expenses. If somebody come
forward to help us in this regard, we will manage the rest of everything.
Thank you..

 This is amazing. I would like to join in too!

 Thanks,

 Hai,

   I have discussed the idea with the president and secretary, and they
 offered their whole-hearted support for this plan. They suggested to
 conduct this programme in the next week, starting from 21/7/2014 (Monday)
 and finish the work on 25/7/2014 (Friday). (Sorry for this short notice.)

 A very simple inaugural and introductory function is scheduled at 11.00
 am on 21/7/2014 (Monday).
 Venue: The panchayat meeting room, O/o Koorachundu Village Panchayat,
 Koorachundu.

 A simple closing ceremony will also be there on 25/7/2014 (Friday) at
 3.00 pm in the evening, everyone who participated can share their
 experience during this programme.

 We have the contact details of resource persons for all the wards, and
 they will participate in the inaugural meeting and will help the mappers
 during the physical survey in the field. They will also participate in the
 closing ceremony too.

 Special note: No need to worry if anybody can't reach here for the
 inaugural function, they can join us any time before 25/7/2014.

 We are on the way to arrange the lodging facilities, for those who are
 coming from distant places. So please send me a personal mail off-list,
 those who love to help us and want to participate during this period.

 If any one can arrange a few extra handheld GPS receivers, and/or spare
 smartphones with GPS receivers will be considered as their kind blessing
 for this venture. :)

 Best.

Re: [Talk-in] CBI google maps

[Jaisen Nedumpala]

He he..,

  It seems that SOI has no problems if google privately having our
country's geospatial data (That is always subject to the verification by
NSA, FBI or whatever). But if google publish the same in the web through
their mapping services, as that may become helpful for different
stakeholders of this country at various levels, that would be considered as
a serious sin.

   Also, SOI is not interested / don't have ability to disseminate the data
it holds, for any useful purpose for the general public of this country.

Sounds nice, right? :)


2014-07-27 19:32 GMT+05:30 Sajjad Anwar m...@sajjad.in:

 My thoughts are not very strong but, I think as long as we leave the vital
 points and defense installations out of the map, we won't grab much
 attention.

 Through Datameet and NIC, some of us are trying to setup a meeting with a
 few SoI officials to talk about opening up some data. More about that soon,
 when something concrete comes up.

 Cheers,
 Sajjad.

 The internet giant had not taken permission from Survey of India,
 country’s official mapping agency, before organising a mapping competition
 in February-March 2013 when they asked citizens to map their
 neighbourhoods, especially details related to hospitals and restaurants.

Re: [Talk-in] About having a mapping party in Koorachundu Village Panchayat - Kozhikode district - Kerala - Reg.

[Jaisen Nedumpala]

 panchayat area from OpenStreetMap,
convert it to Shapefiles or import it to GRASS DB.
4. Georeference the map supplied by the Department of Survey and Land
Records, with this downloaded OSM data, and prepare the map with ward
boundaries using either QGIS or GRASS.
5. Print the map in A3 Size, and in whatever scale as per SEC's requirement.
6. In this way
 1. we at village panchayat, will get an almost accurate GIS, to build
upon it later as per our future requirements,
 2. OSM will get the village panchayat boundaries with its ward limits,
and
 3. State Election Commission will get a map as per their requirement.
:)

Does it work?

I will consult with the President, and Secretary on coming monday, and with
their consent, I will inform the dates we can have a mapping party here. If
anyone can find any problem in this plan, that I couldn't foresee, may
please point it out before monday morning. Hope, somebody can help us to
acheive this.



 Regards,
 Devdatta Tengshe

Re: [Talk-in] About having a mapping party in Koorachundu Village Panchayat - Kozhikode district - Kerala - Reg.

[Jaisen Nedumpala]

The location is here:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/11.5475/75.8735


2014-07-07 6:36 GMT+05:30 Jaisen Nedumpala jaisuv...@gmail.com:

 Hi,
 I am Jaisen Nedumpala, roaming here for quite a while as a contributor
 of OpenStreetMap, mainly focused on the mapping of Kozhikode district.
 Right now, I am working as the assistant secretary to the Koorachundu
 village panchayat, in Kozhikode district.

 What I am going to describe here is not purely a community issue, much
 related with my official duties too. But a village panchayat itself is a
 community, which:

 1. enjoy an official status,
 2. have its own powers and duties,
 3. full legal recognition and
 4. authority over a defined local geographical area.

 So I think, it might not be wrong to raise this issue here, in the
 hope that, this would be considered as an act of goodwill.

 Here we have an immediate requirement to map the village panchayat
 area, that might be helpful for the panchayat elections, which will be held
 in the year 2015. After the elections this map would be the base map for
 all the future practical purposes.

 State Election Commission (SEC-Kerala) realises that, systematically
 prepared maps can be used as a base map for administrative, scientific and
 academic purposes as an official document. Such a map would be useful as a
 base document for future delimitation of wards or bifurcation of Local Self
 Government Institutions. So SEC-K has issued an order to prepare maps for
 all Local Self Government Institutions of Kerala, which is available here
 in this link:

 http://lsg.kerala.gov.in/news/files/More_Details_352.pdf
 (Language: Malayalam.)

 As per the order, the duties are assigned as follows:

 1. Prepare maps for village panchayats, municipalities and municipal
 corporations (Local Self Government Institutions - LSGIs) with their
 external boundaries and mark geographical and man-made features such as
 small and big rivers, streams, roads, forests, raliway line etc. in those
 maps. Then pass down these maps to the LSGIs. The maps for village
 panchayats will be in A3 size (municipality: A2 size, municipal
 corporation: A1 size) and in defined scale, both in hard and soft copies,
 and will be issued to LSGIs within 15/07/2014. --Duty assigned to the
 Department of Survey and Land Records.

 2. After obtaining the map from the Department of Survey and Land Records,
 The engineer in charge of public works at the LSGI, should draw the
 existing ward boundaries (which were fixed in 2010) and notable
 geographical marks, under the supervision of secretary of LSGI, after field
 verification. This job should be done within 29/07/2014 (within 9 working
 days after receiving the maps from Survey and Land Records) in case of
 village panchayats. --Duty assigned to the secretary and Engineer of LSGI.

 3. After obtaining back the map with ward boundaries and notable
 geographical marks from LSGIs, the Department of Survey and Land Records
 will prepare the final maps of LSGI within 12/9/2014 using AutoCAD software
 program. --Duty assigned to the Department of Survey and Land Records.

 Main Points to note:
 

 1. LSGIs should have a systematically prepared base map for
 administrative, scientific and academic purposes as an official document.
 Such a map will be useful as a base document for future delimitation of
 wards or bifurcation LSGIs.

 2. To become authentic, it must be prepared by the Department of Survey
 and Land Records, after receiving the official inputs from the LSGI
 authorities.

 3. The maps for village panchayats will be in A3 size (municipality: A2
 size, municipal corporation: A1 size) and will be in defined scale.

 4. Department of Survey and Land Records will prepare the final map after
 obtaining the inputs from LSGIs, using AutoCAD software program.

 Problems I could see:
 --

 1.KILA and SEC-K jointly published a hand book covering LSGI elections
 and related subjects, originally titled in Malayalam, which can be
 translated as Good governance through legal awareness - Hand book for
 People's Representatives and officials at LSGIs in 2013. In its pages no:
 12 and 13, it is said that ward delimitation should be done using the
 cadastral map prepared and issued by the Information Kerala Mission, and if
 they didn't prepare such a map for a particular village panchayat, then
 that should be prepared with the help of Survey Department.

 In case of Koorachundu village panchayat, Information Kerala Mission
 didn't prepare a cadastral map, so we approached the Department of Survey
 and Land Records regional and district authorities long before, but any
 action is still pending.

 In the hand book, it says about preparing a cadastral map, but in the
 order of SEC-K mentioned above, the word cadastral is not there. No clue,
 what type of map would be issued to village panchayat, by the Department

Re: [Talk-in] parliamentry, assembly seat boundaries

[Jaisen Nedumpala]

Hi,

Shall I add my ideas on these boundaries?

In my vision, The following are the most prominent administrative divisions
in India:

First set - Administrative boundaries

1. Territorial waters (Exclusive Economic Zone) (as per United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea)
2. Zones (Interstate council)
3. States and Union Territories (Governer and Chief Minister)
4. Revenue Districts (District Collector)
5. Revenue Divisions (Revenue Divisional Officer)
6. Taluks / Tehsils (Tahsildar)
7. Revenue Villages (Village officer)
8. Survey / Re-survey /Un-survey - field measurement plots and sub
divisions

Second Set - Legislative boundaries

1. Lok Sabha (Parliament) Constituency [Lok Sabha - MP]
2. Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) Constituency [States and Union
Territories - MLA]

Third Set - Local Self Government

1. Rural
a. District (Zilla) Panchayat (President and Secretary)
i Divisions (Member)
b. Development Blocks (Block/Mandal Panchayat) (President and Block
Development Officer/Secretary)
i Divisions (Member)
c. Grama (Village) Panchayat ( Rural Local Authority)
(President/Sarpanch and Secretary)
i Wards (Member)

2. Urban
a. Municipality / Municipal Corporation / Nagar Panchayat (Urban
Local Authority) and Metropolitan Region (Mayor and Secretary)
i. Zones
ii. Wards (Councillor)

3. Cantonment area (Officer in Command)
 (Don't know it's divisions :( (Military area Local Authority)

Fourth Set - Courts and Police
1. Jurisdiction of various courts
2. Police Districts
3. Police Circles
3. Jurisdiction of Police Stations

Fifth Set - Miscellaneous
1. Special Economic Zones
2. Coastal Regulation Zone
3. Ecologically Sensitive Areas

I think the above listed are the important sets, regarding the
administrative divisions of India. Besides these, almost all the government
departments of various tiers of administration, have their own internal
administrative boundaries.

Re: [Talk-in] Usage of www.surveykshan.gov.in

[Jaisen Nedumpala]

I have similar problem Yogi reported. And the Firefox IE Tabs or IE Tabs
version 2 are not available for my platform (I use Debian Wheezy). IMHO, if
they are making something with public money, they should consider cross
platform support, seriously. :(


2013/10/1 Aditya Nag aditya.nag.2...@gmail.com

 Well I managed to run it inside Firefox using the IE Tabs version 2
 plugin. Remember to add www.surveykshan.gov.in to the filter settings.
 Otherwise one has to manually switch the browser engine each time the page
 is refreshed. The site remains down for most of the time. The Utilities and
 Habitation layers seem the most useful to me though. But can anyone confirm
 whether we can use that data in OpenStreetMap?



 On 30 September 2013 19:45, Aditya Nag aditya.nag.2...@gmail.com wrote:

 Yes, and it loads pretty slowly in Internet Explorer 8. But I think its
 okay, given the massive dataset it has to load on every change in zoom
 level or when panning.

 The habitation dataset is nice. One has to zoom to a very high level to
 see the village names clearly though.
