Every Pakistani village has a story which is worth preserving
I built a platform to map and preserve Pakistani village land records — looking for people who give a damn about their gaon
Most of us from rural Pakistan have a complicated relationship with land. It's the source of family disputes, lost inheritance, and stories that only the oldest chacha can remember. I got tired of watching that knowledge disappear.
So I built a platform to digitize village land records, map parcels, and let communities document the story of their own land.
It started with my family's village but the idea is simple: every village in Pakistan deserves to have its records preserved and its story told — not locked away in some dusty patwari office.
What it does right now:
- Browse khasra and kheewat records with maps
- See who owns what and where
- Community-contributed notes and local knowledge
Who I'm looking for:
- People connected to their village who want to see it documented
- Developers, GIS people, or just desi folks who care
- Anyone sitting on old land records, maps, or local knowledge
This isn't a startup pitch. Just someone who built something and wants to find like-minded people to make it bigger.

Drop a comment or DM if this hits close to home. Especially interested in hearing from people outside Punjab — Sindh, KPK, Balochistan records are severely underdocumented.
