Scope

Forest Rights Act workflows

Operational summary

Fra Mitra supports Forest Rights Act verification by combining document intelligence with geospatial analysis — extracting claims from scanned records, linking entities to map layers, and presenting results through a WebGIS interface.

OCR and NER pipelines process legacy documents; satellite imagery and PostGIS store spatial boundaries; GeoServer serves map tiles; the frontend exposes layers for officers reviewing land-rights cases.

The system was architected as a decision-support tool — surfacing evidence and spatial context for human review rather than automating legal conclusions.
