Objectives of Decentralised Planning

Increase in Productivity of land,

Employment generation. Keeping in mind
assets development,
Poverty alleviation,
Provisions of minimum amenities and
infrastructure facilities.
NRDMS Programme

Launched by Dept. of Science & Technology

in 1982, NRDMS is an R & D programme to
develop and demonstrate methods, techniques
and tools for operationalising the concept of
Decentralised (Local level ) Planning

DVD Data Imported to GRAM++
 Interoperability... As defined by
ISO TC 211
The ability to find information and processing
tools when they are needed, no matter where
they are physically located
The ability to understand and employ the
discovered information and tools, no matter
what platform supports them, whether local or
remote
The ability to participate in a healthy
marketplace, where goods and services are
responsive to the needs of consumers
Interoperable Formats of GRAM++
Imports data from other GIS formats :
AutoDesk DXF
Survey of India DVD
ESRI ArcInfo UNGEN and ArcView Shape
GRAM for DOS
ESRI GRID

Metadata - purpose
Information about a dataset (meta data) may be
necessary in order to:
Locate appropriate data,
Evaluatewhether the dataset meets ones
requirements,
Extract the relevant data, and,
Actually make full use of the data in an
application
