Conversion Factor
Conversion factor (ranges from 0.000 to 1.000) is specified to convert the local area unit prevalent in the village to the Metric System i.e. mentioned in terms of Hectares-Ares-Centares. When the local unit is multiplied with this conversion factor then the area in Metric system can be obtained. The reports sent to Government of India are firstly converted to the Metric system if local unit is different from the Metric system. If the local unit is Kanal-Marla then a kanal has 20 Marlas. If local unit is ’Bigha-Biswa-Biswansi’ then 20 Biswansi make up a Biswa and 20 Biswa make a Bigha. If local area unit is ’Meters--Decimetres’ (normally in the urban areas where khasra/plots are very small) then 100 decimetre make up a meter. In case__ the local unit is ’Hectare-Ares-Centeres’__ then 100 centare (equal to a meter) form an Are and 100 are form a Hectare. Therefore a hectare refers to 10000 metres of land.
