GIS Based Development plan
Government of India launched Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation(AMRUT) in 2015 as Centrally Sponsored Scheme with the objectives to (i) ensure that everyhousehold has access to a tap with assured supply of water and a sewerage connection; (ii)increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained open spaces(e.g. parks); and (iii) reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructingfacilities for non-motorized transport (e.g. walking and cycling). One purpose of the Missionis to improve governance through a set of Reforms. During the Mission period, 11 reformsare being implemented.
Formulation of GIS-based Master/Development Plans for 500 AMRUT Cities is one of theimportant reforms under AMRUT, which has been approved as a 100% centrally funded subschemewith budget outlay of Rs. 515.00 crores.
The major objectives of the sub-scheme are:
- develop common digital geo-referenced base maps and land use maps using
Geographical Information System (GIS) and
- Master Plan Formulation for 500 cities that are selected as AMRUT Cities.
In order to develop national level Design and Standards, Ministry of Urban Development
constituted a Committee with the members from ISRO, central and STPDs (Annexure I). The
Committee held detailed deliberations and interactions with Central and State Town Planning
departments and experts and recommended that mapping at 1:4000 scale is ideal for
formulation of Master Plans/Development Plans as per currently available satellite data.
