Rajasthan government approves 3D GIS Models for city development

The Rajasthan government has granted approval for a proposal aimed at creating Geographic Information System (GIS) based 3D models of Jodhpur, Udaipur, Kota, and Ajmer. In an official announcement, it was stated that the state government intends to develop GIS-based 3D models of these four cities to enhance the planning and management of urban development.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has given his endorsement to a financial proposal amounting to Rs 1.06 billion for the execution of the GIS-based 3D city and Rajdhara Satellite Imagery Repository projects in the aforementioned cities.

This initiative will greatly facilitate effective assessments, simulations, and planning by enabling the inclusion of proposed land use in the cities' master plan, construction and expansion of new roads, flyovers, new residential areas, drainage plans, as well as other important ground-level works, large-scale infrastructure development, transport planning, land planning, town planning, and more.

The statement also mentioned that the developed 3D models will allow for virtual tours of the cities using augmented reality or virtual reality technology.

Additionally, the Rajdhara platform will establish a "repository" of satellite imagery capturing various time periods in Rajasthan. This repository will facilitate analysis of land use, changes in reservoirs/water sources and forest areas, land cover, estimation of crop yield, growth and expansion of cities, and other relevant factors as required by different departments.

In another decision, Lavkush Gardens will be developed across all districts of the state, with an approved budget of Rs 660 million. This endeavour aims to promote eco-tourism and will feature models showcasing forests and wildlife. The gardens will serve as educational spaces for children to learn about environmental and wildlife conservation. Additionally, eco-trail paths will be constructed, and exhibition spaces will be provided. The objective of these gardens is to raise awareness about environmental protection, as stated in the announcement.
