Chandigarh has taken a significant leap forward in urban planning and digital governance as the ambitious Naksha pilot project successfully completed its initial drone data collection phase. The groundbreaking initiative has covered extensive ground, mapping 15 urban sectors and 5 surrounding villages through advanced drone technology.
Project Milestone Achieved
During a comprehensive review meeting chaired by Deputy Commissioner Vinay Pratap Singh, officials confirmed the successful completion of drone flying activities across the designated areas. The project represents a major step in creating detailed digital maps that will revolutionize how the city plans and manages its urban infrastructure.
Technology Driving Urban Development
The Naksha project leverages cutting-edge drone technology to collect precise geographical data and create high-resolution maps. This technological approach enables:
- Accurate land use documentation
- Detailed infrastructure mapping
- Comprehensive urban planning insights
- Enhanced decision-making capabilities for administrators
Future-Ready Governance
The successful completion of the initial phase positions Chandigarh as a pioneer in adopting drone technology for urban management. The collected data will serve as a foundational layer for various development initiatives, property tax assessments, and infrastructure planning. The project demonstrates how technology can transform traditional governance methods into efficient, data-driven processes.
This initiative aligns with India's broader Digital India mission, showcasing how emerging technologies can be harnessed for public welfare and urban development. The Naksha project sets a precedent for other Indian cities looking to modernize their urban planning and governance frameworks.
