With recent development in Urban sector in Remote Sensing and GIS fields, NIT has proposed to Implement complete GIS solution for comprehensive planning, decision making support and to provide accurate information to general public for the areas under its jurisdiction. The study is aimed at generating a geo-spatial data of detailed urban land use land cover data showing all the details of existing structures on the sites and other site features duly superimposed on city cadastral data of Nagpur.

            Under this project NIT intends to generate the geo-spatial data which would be helpful for the stakeholders’ planners and designers in decision making. Realizing this, NIT has approached and requested Maharashtra Remote Sensing Applications Centre (MRSAC) Nagpur, an autonomous body under Planning Department, Government of Maharashtra, to generate the Remote Sensing and GIS database for the agency.
