- DC-cum-ACS,DoWR reviews the progress of the Mega lift-MIS applications and Odisha Jal Sampad
- A leap towards water management excellence
Bhubaneswar (Kalinga Voice) : Parbati Giri Mega Lift Irrigation Project were formulated in the year of 2011-12 to provide Khariff irrigation to the uplands inside or outside irrigation commands which were deprived of flow irrigation due to locational disadvantages. Till date 200 schemes have been completed and 49 are under construction through Parbati Giri 1.0 & Parbati Giri 2.0 clusters of projects covering 3,24,000 ha appx. of ayacut through Mega lift pumping and pressurized irrigation system. To monitor the day to day operation of completed schemes and timely operation of ongoing schemes, IT enabled Project Management techniques- a GIS based Management Information System is being developed with the help of OCAC under IT & 5-T initiatives of the DoWR.
DC-cum-ACS,DoWR Smt Anu Garg ,IAS reviewed the progress of the Mega lift-MIS applications in the conference Hall of the DoWR,Rajiv Bhawan on 17.08.2023 in the presence of Senior officers of the Department and OCAC. It is transpired that the development of the MIS is in the completion stage and the portal will soon be dedicated to the officers of the department for ease of supervision and to general public of Odisha at Large.
Similarly, another satellite based GIS application for mapping of irrigation commands, water bodies created by the DoWR starting from major reservoirs to check dams , all assets in the irrigation commands including dams, barrages ,canals with structures ,river and canal embankments ,irrigation roads, building etc to create an inventory of assets in an organized manner for operation and maintenance of the assets is being developed under the name “Odisha Jal Sampad” with the technical help of Odisha Space application Centre.
