Infrastructural Planning for Government System will be a comprehensive and integrated /nilakanta
promotion of Tourism in information system designed to store, manipulate,
Manipur retrieve and use information concerned with the
administrative and eco-tourism infrastructural
aspects • The major goals of spatial database
integrated with GIS are to improve the decision-
making process. And support for eco-tourism
sustainability in the State.

Cadastral Information System Land Resources, Resources, Govt. of time than digital maps, so digitization of Land /nganba/nila
for Manipur Govt. of Manipur Manipur Record (LR) sheets is the main objective. • LR
sheets do not have any coordinate system, so,
Geo-referencing is also another important
objective. • Incorporation of attribute data. •
Creation of Digital Land Record.
