A drone survey was launched earlier this month to create a digital master plan for Vikarabad, one of 20 municipalities in Telangana selected for a GIS-based plan under the AMRUT 2.0 initiative, funded partly by the central government. The survey, conducted in collaboration with district and municipal officials, will guide long-term development, including roads, housing, drainage, and other infrastructure. Vikarabad is the first municipality to begin this survey, which will also be implemented in 19 other towns. The master plan aims to address the municipality's needs for the next 30 to 40 years, promoting sustainable urban development across Telangana.
Earlier this month, a drone survey was launched to design a digital master plan for the development of Vikarabad. This municipality is one of 20 in Telangana with a population exceeding 50,000 that has been selected to create a Geographical Information System (GIS)-based master plan as part of the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0, initiated by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. The project is receiving partial funding from the central government. The survey is being conducted by Vikarabad district authorities in collaboration with municipal officials from the Survey of India. Officials noted that Vikarabad is the first among the 20 selected municipalities to undertake this initiative using the latest technology. Advertisement

According to Collector Prateek Jain, who held a meeting with officials on Thursday, the master plan aims to meet the needs of Vikarabad for the next 30 to 40 years.
