CFSD conducts mapping exercises for Plane Table Maps of slums in Nagpur. Detailed socio-economic surveys of slum dwellers are done to collect their documents of eligibility. Both the maps and surveys are submitted at the “Pattawap Cell” - a single window system established by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation - for further processing and executing sale deeds.

CFSD also works closely with the collectors offices of both the Nazul and Mehsul Departments under the “Pattawatap Program” by organising camps and encouraging slum dwellers to participate in this scheme to avail benefits. To provide tenure security, coordination with government agencies, slum dwellers and the local elected representative and local leaders is key.
