About: Under the Madhya Pradesh Urban Services for the Poor programme with UADD Govt. of MP, to facilitate the range of project activities anticipated for Singrauli, it was proposed to develop a GIS basemap derived from high-resolution satellite imagery & socio-economic household survey to develop a common geospatial Database. Using this imagery, a preliminary vector database was anticipated to be developed based on existing GIS data as well as the creation of new data. This geospatial database covers approximately 280 sq. km and was developed using “Quick Bird” true colour composite imagery. This imagery was acquired at the outset of the project period to ensure most recent data was obtained. Overlaying this imagery, the municipal wards, and each and every household and slums are identified by the field team. The entire set of information is compiled as user-friendly geo-database.
(Total Number Of HH’s = 40,000)
