Mr. Goyal said that the district master plan will be expanded to cover more than 750 districts across the country in the next 18 months. Commerce and Industry Minister, Mr. Piyush Goyal on Tuesday launched a district master plan under the PM Gati Shakti initiative for infrastructure planning in 27 aspirational districts of the country. A national master plan portal is there under the initiative for efficient planning and implementation of infrastructure projects. The minister also launched the guidelines for preparing logistics plans to help cities tailor their logistics planning.
He added that the PM Gati Shakti is India’s offering to the world of tomorrow where over 1,600 layers of data have been accumulated at the Central and State levels for faster, better, and cost-effective planning of world class infrastructure. “This is going to be the technology that the world will use for their infra planning in the years to come,” he said, adding India’s urban planners, architects, engineers, international organizations that fund many of these projects would get confidence in India’s infrastructure projects. Every data in PM Gati Shakti is validated, double-checked and a mechanism has been introduced for periodic updation of the data, he said.
The portal was developed by Gujarat-based BISAG-N (Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geoinformatics). “This GIS enabled platform will help save significant budget for the Government and plan to build infrastructure with more efficiency due to its data-backed decision-making process,” Mr. Goyal said.
