Hyderabad: To enhance urban planning and resource management, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is conducting a comprehensive Integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) survey to map all properties and utilities within its jurisdiction.
GHMC is leveraging the latest technologies to ensure the project’s success. This initiative includes aerial surveys using drones and door-to-door mapping to capture information for each parcel, with geolocation data collected by on-ground surveyors.
Elaborating on the initiative on Thursday, GHMC Commissioner Amrapali Kata emphasized the corporation’s commitment to safeguarding personal data throughout the survey process.
“We only collect information related to properties, utilities, and infrastructure, along with the necessary supporting documents. Our focus is entirely on these aspects to enhance urban planning and resource management,” the commissioner stated.

A unique identification number, also known as a Digital Address, will be generated for each property. This ID will help pinpoint properties for services such as garbage collection and emergency management.
GHMC officials noted that the integrated GIS database will be beneficial for various activities, enhancing the citizen experience and improving the overall quality of services.
