The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is developing an advanced computerised system for all its land banks using geographical information system (GIS) mapping and robotic process automation (RPA), its public relations office (PRO) said in a media statement issued on Friday.
This will give access to all land-related information at the click of a button. Furthermore, it will also provide information about the development potential on the said land parcel/layout, illegal encroachment and any other related information, the office stated.
The work of GIS mapping has been initiated. Through this information, MHADA intends to identify existing development rules and schemes applicable to the Mumbai board and other boards as well.
The authority will ascertain how these development and redevelopment schemes, rules and acts can be revised or amended so that while carrying out any new development on these land parcels, a broader idea and understanding will be available to the authority.
MHADA has appointed RAH Infotech CE info systems and Replete Business Solutions for coming up with a consolidated report on land available with MHADA across the boards in six months.
Meanwhile, a high-level committee of the Mumbai board of MHADA and other board's working officers has been formed to keep a close watch on the GIS mapping and RPA system work.
Further, MHADA Mumbai headquarters has alerted all its boards – Pune, Konkon and Nashik, among others – to cooperate with these agencies for the collection of data as mandated.
