Centre to use GIS to monitor rural job scheme


The Centre will now monitor the implementation of NREGA through Geographical Information System (GIS).

The Ministry of Rural Development has constituted an expert group for developing a “strategic framework” with respect to the use of GIS under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, a Ministry official said on Thursday.

The 16-member expert group will be headed by Secretary in the Rural Development Ministry, BK Sinha. A representative from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will also be the part of the group.

“The initiative aims at strengthening decentralised participatory planning process, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of works under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA by using GIS and Geo-ICT tools,” the official said.

The group will commission studies of ongoing use of GIS in States and suggest strategy for effective implementation of Geo-ICT tools with specific reference to planning, implementation and monitoring works under NREGA, he said.

The group will determine region-wise appropriate models keeping in mind the different geographical condition of various states and regions.

An appropriate methodology for collection, collation, storage and processing of data on natural resources in a given region will be developed.

“The expert group will formulate strategy and develop a working model for its nationwide roll out,” the official said. The use of GIS will not only help in monitoring the implementation of NREGA but managing the assets being created under the flagship programme, he said.
