In continuation to the initiatives undertaken by RISL/ DOITC in GIS domain, requirement has been felt by various line Departments like Urban Local Bodies, Watershed and Soil conservation, RUIDP, Rural Development and Panchayath Raj, RUDSICO, PWD, PHED, Water Resources, RIICO, Urban Development Authorities etc. for establishment of a suitable software application platform which would help them in management of the entire project lifecycle more effectively and efficiently i.e. from feasibility phase of project conceptualization till the project closing including administration approval, technical approval, financial approval, project planning, vendor selection, work allocation, works management & monitoring, geo-tagging of assets and tracking of physical as well as financial progress of various infrastructure / assets being constructed on ground
Application has mechanism for undertaking integrated GIS based decisions / monitoring of project activities undertaken on ground / project sites. To overcome the above issues, PWD desires to utilize the power of Geographical Information System (GIS), Web and Mobile technology to implement a comprehensive integrated GIS based Works Management System for effective planning and monitoring of various project activities. The application is integrated with the State-wide GIS initiative of Rajasthan i.e. “Rajdharaa”, which would enable seamless exchange of GIS information / data between Infrastructure development departments. This would enable senior decision makers to identify and avoid duplicity of work, monitor physical as well as financial progress of various approved works being executed by respective line departments. This solution provides facilities to respective project stakeholders in creation and publishing of work items using web interface and regular status update can be captured using Mobile devices from project sites along-with geo-tagged photographs and shall provide a user-friendly GIS based Dashboard to the Senior Decision makers for effective planning and works management. The Solution would also facilitate visualization of various ongoing projects / works directly on Rajdharaa Map on the fly which helps in standardization of entire workflow process across multiple applications, and therefore enable significant savings on application development time & efforts
