Hi, As per my knowledge, often, one department seeks data and verification of records from another. If the info is formed offered on one platform for all departments to access simply, it improves officialdom potency. If bespoken applications are created mistreatment this data bank to cater to services offered by bodies like HUDA, HSIIDC and municipal companies, it'll improve latency and potency of all departments, likewise as of subject services.
The purpose of this company is to integrate geo-spatial knowledge (from creation to change, management, dissemination and sharing of the data), master plans, a land-use portal, land-ownership records, knowledge from service networks (including roads, water, sewerage, electricity, telecommunications) maintained and managed by varied departments, native bodies, HUDA, HSIIDC, housing boards, among others.

Three cities from Haryana - "Gurgaon, Faridabad and Sonepat" - area unit possible to work within the smart city theme list. One in all the conditions of a smart city would be to own a integrated and reliable info, that just in case of Haryana may gain advantage HUDA, accredited colonies, the general public health department, municipalities, PWD (Buildings and Roads), Delhi Metro, for future infrastructure growth or development.
Haryana Urban Geo-Spatial Applications Bill, 2015 has been written. However, it absolutely was set throughout the meeting that before any such bill is enacted, a team of officers are going to be deputed to go to Delhi and Bangalore to look at similar initiatives. The focus are going to be to investigate success issue, shortcomings and do's and don'ts of such an initiative. Haryana space applications centre is already executing an identical pilot project for Sohna, which is able to be completed by June 2015.

I came to know from news that, Mr Naidu handed over allotment letters to the first few successful applicants.

Authority also want to liberalize the industrial estate policy. An industrial space may not necessarily contain factories, but showrooms also. A committee will be formed to look into this issue as well.

It is all over the news that, as per Union Urban Development Minister, Delhi will be developed into a "global city" and the country's first 'smart city' will be set up here to decongestant the national capital and facilitate it with all modern amenities.
