Centre to launch GIS-based digital registry for rural road infrastructure
The centralized database will map roads, bridges, and culverts to streamline maintenance, optimize public spending, and fix gaps in existing network data, two officials told Mint.
The Ministry of Rural Development is set to launch a cutting-edge digital registry for rural road infrastructure, leveraging Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping technology. This centralized database aims to shift planning from traditional project-based methods to long-term asset and lifecycle management, according to two officials familiar with the initiative.
The new platform will replace outdated and fragmented record-keeping with a comprehensive, GIS-based system designed to better track and manage rural road assets over their entire lifespan.
