MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF SPACE TECHNOLOGY TOOLS IN

PWD(R&B)Department
1.0 Introduction about the PWD (R&B) Department.
Nagaland PWD (Roads & Bridges) is headed by Chief Engineer and assisted by
3(Three) zones which are control by Additional Chief Engineer with Headquarter of
Tuensang,Mokokchung and Kohima respectively. Under zones there are 7(Seven)
Circles of Superintendent Engineer’s. The works are carried out by 23(Twenty Three)
Divisions and one Traffic cell in the State .
Under the Department 12108.00Km (Road statistics 2013) stretch of length
is been maintained. Where, there are ongoing projects from various schemes and new
road construction have been proposed during 2015-16.

2.0 Space Based Applications (carried out in the past)

 The Department is using GPS for taking the existing alignment and recording
the location of vital road datas. Its been used for recording the index maps of
the new roads while surveying.

3.0 Space Based Applications (Ongoing)

 As stated in Sl. No.2.0

4.0 Benefits accrued to the Department through Space Based Applications

 The exact existing alignment of the road could be taken and locations of the
vital road data were recorded. Its easier and take very less time and less
human power

5.0 Brief details of the meeting with the Department and its outcome
(NGISRSC to fill this column)
 On 1/3/16 meeting held under the Chairmanship of Chief Secretary was very
encouraging.As per the advancement of technology the needs for application
of Space Technology and Identifying the key areas was discovered. The
Department were asked to identify the key areas for effective application of
the technology.

6.0 Future Space Based Application

 Preparation of DPR for all the new roads. Recording of road datas and
managing road maintenance.

7.0 Likely benefits to the Department through new proposals

 Preparation of DPR for all the new roads will be much easier with less
human power and less cost. The road alignment will be better and estimate
will be more accurate. Managing of road maintenance will be regulated as
per the utility and interval.

8.0 Capacity Building

 Since it’s a new technology all the technocrates will be trained by NGISRSC
and subsequently the subordinate staff can be trained by the technocrates.

9.0 Review Mechanism

The expert directions and suggestions of the scientist from NESAC,
delegates from ISRO will be of vital importance towards the project's successful
completion. Once the Concept areas are approved and rolled-off, project review
meetings and external quality check will be held at regular intervals depending on the
project requirements (most likely quartely or half yearly), apart from the internal quality
checks. Internal quality check team will be established comprising of officials from
Police Department and Nagaland GIS & Remote Sensing Centre. External Quality
check team will comprise of the experts from NESAC and ISRO.
