Introduction
We have seen different categories of funds village panchayat receive.
But they are not unconditional.
Utilising them are strictly controlled by the
government through numerous directions like
Guidelines /Orders /Circulars etc.
Some directions are going directionless?
FOSS4G India 2015 - Second National Conference
Responsibilities Citizens have the right to Information to have the basic details
about their surroundings in an authentic fashion. Local governments - Custodians of Asset registers
The details of basic infrastructure - road networks and other public facilities.
First respondents in case of any hazards , in practical sense.
Requirement by RTI Act - 2005 Sections 4(1), 4(2), 4(3) , 4(4) : Local governments - public authorities Responsible for maintaining their records duly catalogued
and indexed, Responsible to provide as much information suo
motu to the public through various means of communications, including internet.
FOSS4G India 2015 - Second National Conference
Contradictions Essence of the definition of E-Governance by UNESCO
Encourage Citizen Participation in Governance . Central govt guidelines – GIS to be applied.
Common Guidelines for Watershed Development Projects , 2008 – Use current trends & advances in IT & Remote Sensing, Technology inputs - GIS.
Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana Guidelines – Assets to be mapped using GIS.
But village panchayats can't formulate GIS projects Vide Govt. Circular No: 71639/IB1/2012/LSGD dated
11/3/2013 - Enforces restrictions over the individual software development activities of the LSGIs of Kerala,
Vide Govt. Circular No:1942/D.C.2/2013/LSGD dated 13/12/2013 - Prohibits village panchayats from formulating projects or spend money to develop a custom GIS.

#OpenGeoData
Koorachundu Village Panchayat - State of Affairs – No Resource Map, No Cadastral Map,
No GIS. But pops up several instances to draw maps :
Kasturirangan report, Ward delimitation, Sevagram Gramakendram etc.
Need baseline GeoData for Developmental Planning and Implementation and to empower the stakeholders . Need of OpenGeoData in case of Emergencies - without
hassle. It is easy to draw maps from the layers of GIS , when in need. If there is commonly accessible repository of OpenGeoData ,
people can access the data when they need, without any formal requests to the village panchayat, satisfying the responsibil ity imposed by RTI Act - Sec: 4(1) , 4(2), 4(3), 4(4) .
FOSS4G India 2015 - Second National Conference
All we had was: Ward Map
FOSS4G India 2015 - Second National Conference
Objectives
Develop the different layers of vil lage panchayat level OpenGeoData , with community participation to suit the needs of suo-motu dissemination of spatial information to encourage and enable the effective citizen participation in the decision-making process.
Ensure that this necessary spatial information can be
accessed with the attribute data in local /
regional language.
FOSS4G India 2015 - Second National Conference
Implementation Strategy
Administrative• Don't formulate a formal project (Ref:
Circulars mentioned before).• Make use of the government circulars/ orders/
guidelines to draw any kind of map to enhance that level of existing base of OpenGeoData.
Technical• Use the existing OpenGeoData platforms and
Free/OpenSource frameworks and ensure the community volunteering involvements to minimise the expenses.

State Election Commission'sOrder
Order No. 311/2014/SEC Dated: 18/6/2014
LSGIs of Kerala have no systematically prepared
base maps useful 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 LSGIs.

Continuing work
2nd phase
Village reorganisation in progress (4 into 1), involving
surveyors from the Dept. of Survey & Land Records ,
the authorities at the revenue village offices .
Joint field verification is finished, now under the verification
of Taluk authorities.
Village Panchayat will get an accurate Cadastral Map,
and hopefully the #OpenGeoData of cadastral details also as
a by-product.

Sustainability We felt that this method involving stakeholder communities,
is the most cost effective way to develop baseline GIS data for a village panchayat.
People seeking GeoData for their needs, can directly download the data from OpenGeoData repositories .
That will encourage and empower the people to effectively involve in planning/administrative process.
Data also will be available at finger tip , when in case of hazards, to draw maps to plan logistics.
