Perhaps the most audacious milestone in the WAMSI-MP journey was the bulk digitization of over 15,000 WAQF properties—achieved in just 3 to 4 days from a single centralized control location.

• A dedicated Data Entry War Room was established in Bhopal with over 500 trained operators working
• Operators were brought in from across the state, accommodated in temporary facilities, and briefed intensively
• The source material: handwritten AUKAF registers, often in Urdu or archaic formats, requiring translation, deciphering, and double verification

Each operator worked tirelessly to interpret and convert decades-old manual entries into structured digital records, fill in comprehensive forms including details of land type, usage, registration, and location, and flag inconsistencies for supervisory review.

This was not just data entry—it was a rare display of coordination, conviction, and commitment by all stakeholders.

The mobilization of hundreds of personnel within a short window required meticulous planning—from logistics and security to data allocation and real-time monitoring.

• Local-level resistance continued with misinformation that the data might be used to seize land
• Special helplines, nodal grievance officers, and on-ground communication teams were deployed to defuse tension and build trust
• Despite formidable challenges, the team completed the task on time, with near-zero data loss and high accuracy

This base digital repository would later power advanced modules like field verification, satellite integration, and GIS-based land mapping.

To strengthen reliability, the system was continuously tested under simulated high-load conditions. Training modules were rolled out to ensure uniform understanding across districts. The streamlined dataset ultimately became a single source of truth for future policy decisions and automation.

In parallel, the administration implemented a phased quality audit to validate every batch of incoming records. Independent review teams were tasked with flagging anomalies, ensuring that no manipulated or inconsistent entries slipped through. This rigorous validation framework not only enhanced credibility but also set a benchmark for future digital governance drives.

Once digitized records were compiled, the next critical step was verifying entries on the ground—physically locating properties, confirming boundaries and usage, and comparing field findings with digitized records.

• A robust web-based GIS solution was deployed where officials uploaded KML files with GPS coordinates and real-time photographs
• Every submission was geotagged and timestamped, enabling real-time monitoring and dashboard-based tracking
• This phase was the most sensitive and effort-intensive aspect of the entire mission

In essence, this verification phase turned WAMSI-MP from a database into a movement of digital accountability, with GIS as the backbone of its trust-building efforts.

The system also empowered district-level officials with structured workflows. Alerts were auto-generated whenever the field data did not match historical RoR entries or earlier survey records, enabling supervisors to intervene instantly. This not only reduced verification time but also curbed the possibility of manipulation, since every action—from field upload to approval—left a digital footprint.

To further strengthen field operations, district authorities introduced a command-and-control dashboard that provided instant visibility into progress, bottlenecks, and resource gaps. This enabled rapid decision-making, redeployment of teams, and real-time intervention wherever discrepancies emerged. The proactive approach ensured consistency, transparency, and steady momentum throughout the mobilization.

The district of Rewa was strategically selected as the pilot zone for on-ground verification and GIS-based mapping.

• A dedicated field team of GIS engineers, WAQF officials, and surveyors was mobilized
• Teams were trained to capture GPS data and convert it into KML format
• The teams matched AUKAF digital data with on-ground plots

The Rewa pilot unearthed several critical realities:

• Many WAQF properties were found in disputed or partially encroached zones
• Several properties were difficult to locate physically due to outdated or inaccurate register entries
• In some cases, locals resisted the verification process, suspecting government acquisition

Higher-level administrative intervention became essential to facilitate cooperation and ensure team safety.

Building on the success from Rewa, the model was rolled out in a phased manner across other districts.

The workflow remained consistent:

• Physical visit to each site
• GPS reading capture and generation of KML file
• Upload of geo-tagged photos, land use status, encroachment remarks, and digital verification notes

Each team faced unique challenges:

• Some locations were unapproachable due to terrain or community pushback
• Some Mutawallis refused cooperation out of fear, suspicion, or local political pressure
• There were cases where no trace of the registered property could be found

Yet, despite these hurdles, a statewide verification campaign gained momentum due to robust administrative backing, clear SOP-based execution, and public assurance mechanisms.

A crucial breakthrough was the use of web-based GIS tools that displayed:

• Satellite-backed WAQF property boundaries
• Status of physical verification (Pending/Verified/Disputed)
• Layers showing encroachments, ownership history, and RoR integration

This visibility turned the tide of public sentiment. Once community stakeholders, religious leaders, and local officials saw their property legally documented and digitally visible, they began offering support voluntarily.

WAMSI-MP thus became more than a portal—it became a platform of transparency, inclusion, and digital empowerment.
