PANAJI: In a move towards advancing e-governance and urban planning, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant and Minister for Tourism, Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, Printing & Stationery Rohan A Khaunte, unveiled the OneMap Goa GIS Portal, an innovative platform integrating geospatial data to enhance decision-making and citizen services, at Mantralaya, Porvorim.
Developed by the Department of Information Technology, Electronics & Communications (DITE&C) in collaboration with Goa Electronics Limited, the portal is designed as a one-stop solution for government bodies and the public, offering access to vital infrastructure, demographic, and resource data through a user-friendly interface.
Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant states, “With this launch, Goa is making significant strides in Digital Kranti. The OneMap Goa GIS Portal will revolutionize e-governance by providing access to information from multiple departments on a single platform.”
Rohan A Khaunte emphasized the importance of this initiative, saying, “The GIS platform is a crucial step towards e-governance and realizing our vision of a Digital Goa. It simplifies access to vital geospatial data through a unified system, ensuring that the information is accurate and reliable.”
The portal offers tools to explore layers of government data in one place. Citizens can navigate the platform using features such as pan, zoom, and “my location.” Additional tools allow users to locate nearby services, track information, share maps, measure distances, and provide feedback with photos or videos. A status tracker keeps users updated on their submissions.
This portal supports Goa’s goal of becoming a leader in digital governance and sustainable development. The OneMap Goa GIS Portal aims to streamline planning and decision-making for a more efficient system. Explore the portal at https://onemapgoagis.goa.gov.in.
