Digital Crop Inspection System
e-Girdawari replaces traditional paper registers with a mobile-first, GPS-verified platform for crop inspection and revenue assessment — purpose-built for Patwaris, Field Kanungos, and Revenue Officers.
What This Document Covers
A guide to the Girdawari and Taghayyurat-e-Kasht workflow as implemented and verified for the Balochistan BOR deployment.
The traditional crop inspection form recording the current season's crop, area, irrigation source, and condition for each Khasra.
The changes-in-cultivation form capturing mid-season crop changes, mutations, and updates between regular inspection cycles.
Two-Part Structure
Part One — Field Walkthrough
A step-by-step operational guide for Patwari, Field Kanungo, and Revenue Officer users — covering every action from opening the app in the field to submitting completed Girdawari records.
Part Two — Technical & Administrative Reference
Covers the legal basis for the workflow and the exact field-level rules the application applies when validating data, computing revenue, and enforcing business logic.
Scope & Province Coverage
ImportantThe application has an Admin Settings → Province selector designed to support other provinces in the future.
Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and other provinces do not yet have their own verified Taghayyurat rules implemented — each will get its own documented workflow once its own authoritative rules are separately verified.
Nothing in this document should be read as describing any province other than Balochistan.
What is e-Girdawari?
e-Girdawari is a comprehensive digital transformation of the traditional crop inspection and land revenue assessment process. Traditionally performed through manual field visits and paper registers, Girdawari is now fully digitized — enabling real-time data capture, GIS verification, and automated revenue calculation.
Designed for Revenue Departments, the platform connects Patwaris in the field with officers in the office — eliminating delays, reducing disputes, and enabling evidence-based agricultural policy decisions.
Built for the Field, Designed for the Office
Every feature is engineered to work reliably in rural connectivity conditions while delivering enterprise-grade accuracy.
Offline-First Mobile App
Patwaris can conduct complete Girdawari inspections without internet — data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.
GIS-Mapped Parcels
Every Khasra boundary displayed on the map. GPS-tagged crop photos and inspection timestamps ensure complete authenticity.
AI Crop Detection
Optional satellite imagery integration uses AI to verify crop type and health, cross-checking against field-reported data.
Automatic Revenue Assessment
Built-in revenue calculation engine applies official rates based on crop type, area, and irrigation source — no manual math.
Digital Signatures
Landowner acknowledgements captured via on-screen signature — legally valid records without physical paperwork.
Executive Dashboards
District, Tehsil, and Mouza-level dashboards for DCOs and Revenue Officers with real-time completion status.
Tamper-Proof Records
Every edit is logged with user, timestamp, and GPS coordinates. Audit trail ensures no unauthorized modification.
Urdu + English UI
Full bilingual interface. Patwaris work comfortably in Urdu while officers can review in English.
Central Data Sync
All field data automatically syncs to the central PostgreSQL/PostGIS database — no manual data entry at tehsil office.
How e-Girdawari Works
From field inspection to revenue assessment — a streamlined, transparent workflow.
Field Visit & GPS Verification
Patwari opens the mobile app at the Khasra. GPS confirms his presence at the correct parcel. The map displays boundaries instantly.
Crop Data Entry (Form 24)
Crop type, area under cultivation, irrigation source, and condition recorded on the digital Girdawari Form 24. Geotagged photos captured as visual evidence.
Landowner Acknowledgement
Landowner (or representative) signs digitally. Landowner receives SMS with inspection summary and can dispute within 7 days.
Sync & Taghayyurat Updates (Form 24-A)
Data syncs from the mobile app to the central server when internet becomes available. Any mid-season changes captured via Taghayyurat-e-Kasht Form 24-A.
Revenue Assessment Generated
System automatically calculates land revenue based on official crop rates, area, and irrigation category.
Officer Review & Approval
Tehsildar and DCO review aggregated data via dashboards. Approvals flow electronically, generating final revenue records.
