Introduction

Nanded-Waghala City Municipal Corporation (NWCMC) was established
on 26 March 1997, by merging Nanded Municipal Council and adjoining Waghala
Municipal Council. While forming the Municipal Corporation,13 villages were
added to the existing area with CIDCO and HUDCO colonies areas were included
in Waghala Municipal Council, to form the Nanded-Waghala City Municipal
Corporation (NWCMC).

Nanded City is divided in two parts i.e. Old Nanded north of the Godavari
river (on the left bank) and New Nanded comprising Waghala and six other newly
merged villages and CIDCO area, south of the Godavari river.

Nanded-Waghala City Municipal Corporation (NWCMC) is a local civic
government body with the task of developing new areas within city limits and
special unit of Nanded and maintaining existing city infrastructure. With recent
development in urban sector in Remote Sensing and GIS fields, NWCMC has
proposed to implement complete GIS solution for comprehensive planning for
Preparation of Development Plan of Additional area of Municipal Council (Special
Unit) for Nanded-Waghala City Municipal Corporation 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 Existing
Land Use (ELU) data showing all the details of existing structures on the sites and
other site features duly superimposed on Land Records Department, cadastral
data of 13 villages under study.

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