Though preparation of electoral roll and revisions are regularly and periodically being undertaken it is felt securing the presence of residents in general & TRE member in particular to visit DPL for collecting their EPIC card on the designated days is a biggest challenge to any organizer, which determines the success of a campaign. Reasons in not arriving at DPL are varied and complex. However it was felt that if the interested public if guided properly or navigated through to reach the location would contribute to success. Hence it was decided to Devise some method for attaining the goal. Method should enhance the navigability of part and section map guiding them to the DPL in an area through an on line method of google map services. And make them available through a web site by identifying the part/section areas in a ward of particular AC by choosing some important and popular landmarks in that area which would facilitate the public to identify and reach with ease. These identified landmarks are pinned on to the google map services available on the net through in-house developed software.
