Role of GIS in Land Consolidation

Monalisa Mitra, Sultan Singh

Abstract: The agricultural structure existing in Haryana for centuries has contributed to highly scattered agricultural parcels and improper land registration. Land records existing in Haryana are very old and unreadable, they are even not updated. Distribution of land resources has resulted in the situation, when almost 50% of farms are not involved in market production; this means that significant part of agricultural production do not reach the market in the existing agricultural structure. One way for solving those problems is land consolidation. Land consolidation will result in reduction of land parcels in farms and shape modification. This in turn will improve effectiveness of farming, through decrease in cost of transport and facilitate mechanization of farming. The aim of the study is to support the decision making process related to land consolidation work, by providing re-allotment design of plots by the use of GIS techniques. Base maps are prepared with appropriate measurements which work as a skeleton to do measurements of re-allotment design plan on field for land consolidation of the study area. They are used for easy demarcation of village boundary, give reference points on ground and dividing the area into equal parcels known as killas and murabbas according to new plot design.
