The Remote Sensing and GIS Division of Andhra Pradesh State Unit of NIC has developed a GIS for Karimnagar District under the Rural Road Development Project of Government of Andhra Pradesh on the request of the District Collector. The GIS related activities for Karimnagar District were taken up broadly under the following three phases: Digitization of District Maps and other maps related to Rural Road Development Plan: About 80 maps were digitized to form the complete GIS data for the district administration comprising of the layers - district boundary, mandal boundaries, village boundaries and road network frames. The Roads Frame set has been designed with road classification and the coding pattern as per the requirement of the World Bank Project. The roads have been divided into National highways, State highways, Major District Roads, Black topped roads, Unmetalled Roads, Metalled Roads and Unformed Roads. Loading and integrating digitized data with GIS softwares, GISNIC and SPANS: The complete GIS data has been loaded into GISNIC and SPANS software and integrated with the attribute data for few study areas like Janmabhoomi, SC Corporation Beneficiary data, Primary Census Abstract data and Rural Road Development data. Updation of Mandal Maps using Remote Sensing Imagery: This has been done as a pilot study for one mandal. IRS 1C PAN data has been used to update the road network of one of the mandals since the input maps taken for the digitization do not reflect the latest road structure. NIC, Andhra Pradesh State Unit has taken up this work on a turnkey basis for Karimnagar district and gave necessary training to the concerned officers in making use of the digitized data under GISNIC environment for the District administration. The Project proved to be cost effective and time efficient, as it was completed in just four weeks and used products of NIC, viz., GISNIC and SPANS software.
