The Minister emphasised that adoption of geospatial and other cutting-edge technologies in the PM GatiShakti Master Plan marks a significant stride towards revolutionising connectivity landscape.
Every data in PM GatiShakti is validated, double-checked and a mechanism has been introduced for periodic updation of the data, he said.
Applauding the BISAG-N team for developing the master tool, Goyal called PM GatiShakti a superior intelligence and stressed that the GIS enabled platform will help save significant budget for the government and plan to build infrastructure with more efficiency due to its data backed decision making process.
Goyal added that PM GatiShakti has become the fulcrum around which infrastructure outreach programmes are going from strength to strength. He emphasised that PM GatiShakti has been instrumental in enabling a multiplier effect on the economy and helping India become one of the largest fast growing economies.
The Minister further stated that PM Modi has expanded the ambit of PM GatiShakti to social infrastructure to map power distribution lines, schools, hospitals and others using the ‘Area Development Approach’ initiative. While we are planning for outcomes for physical infrastructure, can we also plan for social infrastructure, for ease of living? PM GatiShakti is progressing now to merge ease of doing business and ease of living because they are synonymous to each other, he said.
