Use of Geo-informatics in Rural Road Projects under Pradhan Mantri Gram SadakYojana:e


Nagaland Science and Technology Council (NASTEC), in coordination with Public work department, Government of Nagaland is carrying out the mapping for PMGSY rural road using geo-spatial technologies. This is carried out in collaboration with National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO with their technical guidance to generate of geospatial database of rural roads under Pradhan Mantri Gram SadakYojana (PMGSY), in order to have comprehensive geospatial database. PMGSY rural road network need to be verified on ground and road-wise attributes to be collected for the generation of road network. And to monitor all weather roads which are being constructed to connect the rural habitations in India under PMGSY from 2000 onwards. The completed roads initiated from 2000 were mapped under PMGSY-1 and geo-dadatabase has been created using high resolution BHUVAN satellite imagery and field verification for kohima district is completed and for identification and verification is ongoing in coordination with PWD, GoN
