Arunachal Governor Advocates Drone-Based GIS Mapping for Border Development

A governor in a hilly, forested state in India wants to use special computer maps to help his state grow.

These maps, made with the help of drones flying overhead, show roads, bridges, schools and hospitals.

The governor says these maps can help builders plan better and finish projects faster.

He wants different government departments to share one big map system so they can work together.

The maps can also record who owns every piece of land, which helps stop arguments over land.

They can warn people early about floods, landslides and earthquakes.

Farmers can use the maps to find the best places to grow apples, kiwis, walnuts and other fruits.

New tools like smart AI maps and computer copies of real places can make the government smarter.

Because the state has mountains, thick forests and borders with other countries, these tools are very useful.

In the end, the governor believes the maps will make life better for everyone in the state.
