The e-governance portal<\/a> will collate and provide over 60 government departments with access to GIS (geographic information system) spatial layers that will come in handy while taking key policy<\/a> decisions.
Government sources said that the initiative will provide various government departments with a single window portal<\/a>. The departments will be able to access detailed GIS map for the entire state which will be developed using satellite imagery and available information. “The satellite image will be digitized to prepare a base map by digitizing all the features and attributes available to the public such as roads, bridges, railway tracks, parks, gardens, stadiums, traffic squares and water bodies (rivers, lakes, ponds, drainages, canals),” a government official said.
The e-governance portal will also collect information about utilities such as street lighting, water supply lines, sewerage network, waste-water, telecom, electricity, gas and storm water drain from the relevant departments. This data will be added as a layer on top of the satellite imagery.
The department of information and technology has already tendered the project. “It is envisaged to provide a robust and reliable decision support system to departments, local bodies, corporations and boards by integrating the GIS data and e-governance system,” the government source said.
