Abstract—The country India follows the planning through
planning commission. This is on the basis of information
collected by traditional, tedious and manual method which is
too slow to sustain.
Now we are in the age of 21 th century. We have seen in last
few decades that the progress of information technology
with leaps and bounds, which have completely changed the
way of life in the developed nations. While internet has
changed the established working practice and opened new
vistas and provided a platform to connect, this gives the
opportunity for collaborative work space that goes beyond the
global boundary.
We are living in the global economy and India leading towards
Liberalize Market Oriented Economy (LMOE). Considering
this things, focusing on GIS, we proposed a system for
collection of socio economic data and water resource
management information of rural area via internet.

INTRODUCTION
A. What is GIS?
- Defination: A Geographic Information System (GIS) is
a computer –assisted system for the acquisition, storage,
analysis and display of geographic data. The terms:
i) Geographic- Indicates that data items are known in
terms of geographic co-ordinates.
ii) Information- Implies that data in GIS is being
organized and processed to yield useful knowledge.
iii) System – Implies that a GIS is made up from several
interrelated and linked components with different functions.
(Bonham-Carter-1994). - Geographic data: - This represents real world
phenomenon in terms of:
a) Their shape and position (with reference to a known
co-ordinate system)
b) Their characteristic attributes - e.g. soil type, cost,
population etc.
c) Their special interrelationships (topology) with each
other (describes their linking) [Burrough and McDonnell-
1998]. This information is organized in layers/ themes.

COMPONENTS OF GIS
A. computer hardware
Computer [Minimum P-4 1.5GHz based, [40 G.B. H.D.,
128 MB RAM, CD Drive (52x), 1.44 MB drive, Color
Monitor 14” Inbuilt-Modem, Sound Blaster and Ethernet
Cards], Digitizer/Scanner, Plotter/Printers and Dialup
connection through phone (i.e. internet hours) for inter-
computer- access.
B. Set of application software module
Application Software / Programme based on any GIS
Software (e.g. ESR’s- Arc View and Arc information,
Intergraph (Geomedia), Auto-CAD Map, C-DAC’s various
software of GIS) as per need, Back-end and Front-end
Software (e.g. Oracle and VB respectively), Web browser
(e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator). These
modules need to be designed carefully after interaction with
End-user to meet the requirements of application to be worth
to be used by even a layman (i.e. it must be menu-driven and
user friendly).

This refers to the management, analysis and other aspects
involved in the implementation of GIS (The needs differ
based on objective).

SETTING UP A GIS
This includes integration of attribute data with graphical
data. This also requires fieldwork, verification of the data
and quality control. It is set up in four stages:
Stage 1: Planning- This is prerequisite and defines data
requirment- Nature of data, its sources and its forms all
defined attributes, graphic inputs such as maps or technical
drawings, or external files from existing systems.
Stage 2: Preperation of Applications:- To prepare the
applications
and
man-machine
interfaces
according
characteristics defined in privious stage and with concent to
end user.
Stage 3:- Data Capture:- Data is being collected from
numerous sources, inputed to the system and verified. Begins
at the conclusion of the planning stage and may be carried
out wit
