In the third session deliberations and discussions were done regarding digital information needs for road engineering works while in the fourth session, a road map and mechanism for development and updating of GIS infrastructure of the Kumaun Division of the Uttarakhand state was workout. It was unanimously decided that GIS Cells shall be established at each district headquarter of the Kumaun Division of PWD for development and updating of GIS infrastructure, and for management of these GIS Cells a steering committee, viz., Kumaun Division Coordination Committee (KDCC) under the Chairmanship of the Chief Engineer, Kumaun Division, PWD shall be constituted. A brief account of these sessions is presented in the following paragraphs.

Inaugural Session Addressing to the Engineers through his inaugural speech as the Chief Guest of the workshop, Prof. Rakesh Bhatnagar, Vice Chancellor, Kumaun University Nainital said that in the modern age technology is changing very fast, therefore, for efficient and proper planning, administration and management, and to achieve goal of development, use of updated technology is essential. Due to lack of use of the updated technology we waste our energy, therefore, our development growth rate is very low, Prof. Bhatnagar further added. Highlighting the importance of GIS technology in road engineering works, Prof. Bhatanagar said that using this latest technology road development works can be done scientifically in a better way. In this respect, this workshop is very important and timely initiation of the Kumaun University to update the engineers with applications of GIS in road development, Prof. Bhatanagar further added. Regarding development of GIS infrastructure for the Uttrakhand State, Prof. Bhatnagar did appreciate the works of the NRDMS Centre of the Kumaun University and said that this training workshop for engineers should not be the end, it should be beginning of GIS applications in road engineering works, Prof. Bhatnagar suggested. For application of GIS in road engineering, Prof. Bhatnagar stressed on the need of hands on training for capacity building of Engineers for this purpose he suggested that University and PWD both should jointly develop Collaborative Laboratories for GIS Development. Wishing for the success of the workshop, Prof. Bhatnagar said that for capacity building and for developing Collaborative Laboratory for GIS development for road engineering, the Kumaun University shall provide all technical supports as and when required. Prof. H.S.Dhami, Pro-Vice Chancellor, Kumaun University said that GIS is a spatial technology which application is very challenging for all of us. Highlighting the significance of GIS, Prof. Dhami said that its application would be very useful in road development specifically in hilly and urban areas. Advocating the GIS as a quick decision support system, he demonstrated that how the road planning can be done through computer using desired parameters, i.e., slope, aspect, topography etc., by clicking few mouse buttons. Mr. Akshat Gupta, District Magistrate Almora describing the need of Geo-Stamped, (i.e., GIS/RS/GPS enabled spatial) data in district planning informed that since June 2011, it has become mandatory to prepare development plan/s in digital form through GIS technologies. Due to lack of digital based plan, numbers of road plans of the district were pending but due to the technical support of the NRDMS Centre in Geo-stamping, now the development proposals are getting through very rapidly, Mr. Gupta further informed. By coordinating all the departments, the GIS infrastructure of the NRDMS Centre can be used for planning and administration, Mr. Gupta suggested. For this purpose we have allotted two rooms at the Vikash Bhawan to develop a GIS Cell for preparing digital data base of different departments, and for implementation and monitoring of different development projects such as ATMA etc., Mr. Gupta further informed. Mr. Lokesh Sharma, Chief Engineer, Kumaun Division, PWD Almora said in his presenditial address that the Kumaun University through its NRDMS Centre has developed hi-tech facilities of GIS technologies which is very useful for road engineering works. For new road proposals now it is necessary to prepare road proposal in digital form, for this purpose our engineers have to go to Dehradun for making digital maps but now this hi-tech GIS facility has created by the NRDMS Centre of Kumaun University by which lot of time as well as money is being saved, Mr. Sharma informed. Highlighting the significance of this workshop, Mr. Sharma said that this workshop shall be proved as a milestone in applications of GIS in road engineering works. Regarding the importance of documentation in road engineering works, Mr. Sharma said that our department is about 150 years old which was well documented and well maintained even small incidences of road landslides and lake inlets were well documented but now there is no proper system of such documentation. Highlighting the importance of the hi-tech GIS technologies in regular and systematic documentation, Mr. Sharma

hoped that now with the help of GIS, scientific documentation of road planning, development, management and monitoring would be possible. Mr. Sharma also gave necessary instructions to the engineers to do needful to convert all their road maps and office records in digital form with the technical support of the NRDMS Centre of the Kumaun University. He also extended his heartly thanks to the NRDMS Centre of Kumaun University for extending the technical supports for preparing digital road plan as and when required, and to Mr. Lalit Mohan, Principal Chief Engineer, Government of Uttarakhand for his inspiration to organized this workshop. Technical Session First PRESENTATION ON THE ALMORA GEOPORTAL With the help of the financial and technical support of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India (DST GOI) and technical support of the Department of Computer Science, IIT Mumbai and School of Information Technology, IIT Khargpur, the COE NRDMS in Uttarakhand, Department of Geography, Kumaun University started work of development GeoPortal for one of the districts of Uttarakhand, viz., district Almora since 2009. GeoPortal provides single window service for accessing data/information with digital map of a targeted region/area/place by clicking few mouse battens in the computer. For developing Almora GeoPortal, how the GIS infrastructure of district Almora was developed as per the needs of different government departments? How the digital maps of different departments are stored layer wise systematically in the computer through GIS technology? and How the digital maps of different departments are accessed from the computer as and when required? In this session, Prof. J.S.Rawat, Director, COE NRDMS demonstrated the answer of these questions in detailed through LCD presentation on the Almora GeoPortal. Presenting a detailed account of GIS infrastructure developed for district Almora, Prof. Rawat demonstrated applications of Police GIS, Watershed GIS, Road GIS, Village GIS, Household GIS, Election GIS, Municipal GIS and GIS of Education, Health and Urban Centers, and GIS for post

disaster management operations. The Almora GeoPortal is a web-based GeoPortal which is tagged with India GeoPortal established at the NSDI, DST GOI, New Delhi which shall be tagged soon with the Uttarakhand State Council of Science and Technology (UCOST), Dehradun for the use of State and District level planners/administrators of the Uttarakhand State, Prof. Rawat informed. Thus, demonstrating that how different line departments can access information with digital map through a single window by clicking two/three mouse buttons in computer, Prof. Rawat suggested that to develop GIS for districts of the Kumaun Division as per needs of engineers for planning and administration, a GIS Cell (having minimum two computers and one GIS Analyst) at PWD headquarter of each district should be established and for management and monitoring of GIS Cells, Kumaun Division Coordination Committee (KDCC) should be constituted. For capacity building in GIS applications in administration and planning in the district, technical support in terms of on-job training to the engineers as and when required, shall be given by our Centre, Prof. Rawat informed. Technical Session Second INFORMATION NEED ASSESSMENT Mr. K.C. Arya, Assistant Engineer, PWD, Haldwani said that on the road map, location of culverts and bridges with their span and location of roads accident prone sites should be marked. Mr. Arya suggested that for road planning, information of rock types and rock structure including rock dip/strength, and soil types map would be very useful. Spatial distribution map of orchards and agricultural belts shall helpful in proposing new roads, Mr. Arya further suggested. Information of railway lines alongwith overbridges/flyovers should also be integrated on road map, Mr. Arya, added. Mr. G.Chandra, Additional Assistant Engineer, PWD, Nainital informed that during the course of road planning, specific care has to be taken regarding the safety of drinking water sources in rural as well as urban areas and our department has to ensured that due to the road construction there will be no negative impact on the discharge of concerned spring/s or naula/s, Mr Chaudhary suggested that a digital map showing spatial distribution of all the drinking water sources shall be useful in road planning. Mr. Mohan Chandra Palaria, Assistant Engineer, PWD, Bhowali said that classified road distribution map should be prepared which should also depict distribution of proposed and under construction roads. Highlighting significance of village population data for new road construction, Mr. Palariya suggested that the classified road map should be integrated with village location with their latest population data. Mr. V.N. Pandey, Executive Engineer, PWD, Nainital said that the information of geologically weak zones specially major fractures and active fault zones would be helpful for road planning as well road development. Mr. Pandey suggested that for road construction, raw material such as stones, silt and gravel is required and digital information of such raw material sites shall help in road construction cost estimation and road development. The notified road side control act of different roads with their width should be attached, this will help in quick examination of road encroachment, Mr. Pandey further suggested. Mr. Sanjay Pandey, Executive Engineer, PMGSY, PWD, Kathgodam, explained the importance of rivers and streams discharge data in designing structure of bridges and culverts and suggested that these data should be available for designing of bridges and culverts. Highlighted the significance of traffic flow data in developing road upgradation plan, Mr Pandey underlined the need of road traffic flow data of different roads. Mr. L.D. Mathela, Executive Engineer, PWD, Haldawani described about importance of soil strength map superficially of CBR values in road planning. Mr. Mathela informed that besides the PWD, many other departments and agencies such as Forest Department, Mandi Parishad and Ganna Parishad, etc., also develop roads, but their information on map is not available. Department wise road information map shall help to the PWD for planning new roads, Mr. Mathela suggested. Mr. Deepak Pandey, Computer Operator, PWD, Pithoragarh and Mr. Abash Kumar Singh said that with each road and bridge/culvert, their year of construction and name of the staff, i.e., name of engineer, junior engineer and contractor etc., should be integrate with map. Mr. S.P Sinha, Executive Engineer, PWD, Ranikhet and Mr. Anil Pangty, Executive Engineer, PWD, Rudraprag highlighted the significance of information related with swamps and marshy land specifically in

tarai region and suggested that information of such lands and water table depth should be available by which alignment of roads could be done accordingly. They also stressed on the need for soil type maps showing their strength and standardized CBR values specifically for in the plain areas. Mr. Tula Ram Tamta, Assistant Engineer, P.M.G.S.Y, PWD, Almora said that along with kachha and pacca roads, information of seasonal roads should also be marked on the map. Mr. A.B. Kandpal, Executive Engineer, PWD, Nainital said that for updating of road network, a GIS Software is required, therefore, department should made arrangement of a GIS Software and should also make arrangements of short and long term training programmes for capacity building in handling the GIS software. Mr. R.S. Upadhayay, Assistant Engineer, PWD Bhowali, suggested to do road planning though mobile GPS while Mr. Ajay Prakash, Assistant Engineer, PWD Pithoragarh, suggested that for preparing new road proposals, a digital geological map would be very helpful. Mr. Sunil Kumar, Executive Engineer, Almora said that today through this workshop we have learn number of new things regarding the application of hi-tech GIS technologies in road engineering works. Now we understand that how the real world can be viewed through computer using remote sensing and GIS techniques, Mr. Kumar further said. In view of the importance of GIS in road engineering works, Mr. Kumar suggested that use of this technology in road planning and development should be mandatory. Mr. P.K.Arya, Superintending Engineer, expressing his views regarding the significance and importance of the workshop in this modern age said that this workshop is eye opening and very much informative for the engineers. Highlighting the significance of GIS technology in road planning Mr Arya said that through this technology now there will lot of facilities in developing new road proposals and development works related to road engineering. Mr. Purohit, Superintending Engineer did appreciate the work of the NRDMS Centre regarding development of GIS infrastructure in the Uttarakhand State and said that with help of GIS, the required information for road engineering work shall be available quickly through computer. We should use this technology in our road engineering works, Mr. Purohit suggested.
