Project Background
A reliable network of transportation through highways, roads and bridges, provides building blocks to carry out social and economic reforms towards making a progressive and economically strong and financially independent state.
As such, ‘Public works Department’ in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UPPWD) was established in 1854 and entrusted with the responsibilities to provide public services for development and maintenance of roads, buildings, bridges and dams across the state.
Today ‘Public Works Department’ only focuses on development and maintenance of roads and bridges in and across State of Uttar Pradesh. While the emphasis has had always been on road construction and its maintenance, the state government has also realized the importance of adoption of ‘Geographical Information System’ (GIS), in alignment with National ‘E-Governance Program’ (NeGP), to digitized statewide roads and bridges network towards providing a modern, efficient, effective and a transparent ‘Road & Bridge Information Management System’ (RIS) for scientific compilation and retrieving system of road related information and management of road development programs.
Achievements/ Results
A detailed information assessment exercise across all levels – Headquarters, Zone, and District – with a view to identifying their strategic, managerial, and operational control needs. The outcome of this project is an effective MIS for the organization.
