Rajasthan government has approved a proposal for developing Geographic Information System (GIS) based 3D models of Jodhpur, Udaipur, Kota and Ajmer. According to an official statement, the state government will develop GIS-based 3D models of the four cities for better planning and management of urban development. Apart from this, a 'repository' of satellite imagery of different time periods of Rajasthan will also be established on the Rajdhara platform. This will facilitate analysis of land use, land cover, changes in reservoirs/water sources and forest areas, crop yield estimation, growth and spread of cities, etc. as per the requirements of various departments.
