Use of GIS for Planning Rs 80,000 Cr of Rural Road Investments
summary
PMGSY-III allocates about Rs 80,000 Cr to upgrade 125,000 km out of a 4.5 million km rural network, so a network planning algorithm called Trace Maps is built to simulate origin–destination traces from 1M habitations to 22 facility types and rank roads; implemented as a QGIS plugin plus an OpenLayers web editor and a PyTorch image QC model. The government releases the GIS dataset (roads, habitations, 800k POIs); the algorithm appears in 68% of winning roads but misses ~1/3 and has block‑level and “nearest facility” assumption limits.
