Achievements

The major stakeholders of the project include district and state government officials, planning commission and NGOs.

A major outcome of the project is a comprehensive understanding of the requirement of data and date processing tools for local level planning through a systematic needs assessment study.

The indigenously developed GRAM++ GIS software package, has been upgraded with addtional features for databases on natural resources, demography, agro-economy, socio-economy and infrastructure facilities.

This needs to be disseminated and used for planning purposes by different stakeholders. The linkage with local development institutions also needs to be strengthened.
