Pune, India: The Yashwantrao Chavan Academy of Development Administration (Yashada) will map all the districts in the state using the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. According to the director general of Yashada, V Ramani, the mapping of all districts would not only bring about transparency but also help in decentralised planning and better monitoring of all programmes. Ramani told DNA a pilot project has been already undertaken for preparing detailed GIS maps of Pune and Nandurbar districts. After completing the pilot project for the two districts, Yashada would undertake the same for the entire state, he said. The project would provide all the information of the district up to taluka level and a chronological data would also be made available through this project.”With the data to be made available easily, it will not be possible to make tall claims about achievements,” said the Yashada chief.
