Introduction

Realizing the importance of the GIS database for mapping, monitoring and management solar
systems in the State of Maharashtra, Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA) which
is a State Nodal Agency for renewable energy, interacted with MRSAC to develop the GIS
based Asset Mapping, Monitoring and Management System (MahaURJA) for the rural areas of
the state.

The main objective of the project is to generate database of the solar systems installed under
different government programs in villages of Maharashtra state with the system parameters
along with Geo-tagging. This project also envisages creating and maintaining system for
grievance redressal by virtue of using mobile app and geospatial technologies. It includes web
geo-portal for report generation and capacity building of the users for field survey and use of
applications developed by MRSAC. The department intends to use android mobile based
applications for mapping existing solar assets and planned activities through handholding and
capacity building of village level functionaries on mission mode.

These solar assets will then be visualized on public domain through ‘MahaURJA’ dashboard and
training of the village functionaries would be carried out to manage grievance redressal system
for repairs, maintenance& up-keeping of theses solar systems. The indigenously developed web
enabled monitoring system will definitely prove to be milestone towards good governance for
Maharashtra State in the renewable sector of energy.
