VMRDA takes up land mapping using GIS Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA VMRDA Commissioner P. Koteswara Rao conducted a video-conference with ESRI to finalise the modalities of using GIS technology to map the lands belonging to VMRDA in the district, here on Thursday. He said that VMRDA owns land parcels spread over the two districts of Visakhapatnam and Vizianagaram. “With constant urbanisation and changing topography, a practical tool to monitor the lands has been in the reckoning for the past few months. Keeping that in mind, VMRDA is moving towards high-end technologies and web applications using accurate DGPS survey data and GIS software to monitor changes in its lands real-time, at the mere click of a button,” he said.
