Training was imparted at NIC, Howrah through NRDMS, Bakura a number of times to
develop interest regarding the operation and usage of the software so that the
departments could plot the information themselves in the Digitised Map
Process undergone while preparing the Base Map
For implementation GIS for Howrah District , Digitised Base Map had been prepared
which had initially the following Layers or Themes or aspects:-
1.Block Boundary with Block Names
2.GP Boundary with GP Names
3.Mouza Boundary with Mouza Names
Later on , more layers was added to populate the map with more informations like:-
1.All Core & Rural Road Network as obtained from PMGSY
2.All Drainage and Rivers
3.Railways Lines
4.Ponds , Lakes & Forests
5.Places of Worship
The Base Map so obtained with themes is illustrated as below:-
Apart from adding important themes , more refinement had been done in the
Digitised Map , which was mainly Geo-Referencing , which means putting some
actual informations like intersection of Roads
, location of GP Headquaters , Location of
some schools, etc. from satellite imagery to
the digitised Base Map , so that the Reference
points meet almost at the same locations.
This is helpful so that once Map is properly
Geo-referenced, Data obtained from GPS
could be put in the map easily.
