365Telugu.com online news,Hyderabad, April 12, 2025: In a significant initiative aimed at improving access to land-related information, the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road Area Authority (HYDRAA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC). This collaboration is expected to streamline and digitize vital geographic and land-use data within the Outer Ring Road (ORR) region.
The MoU was signed by HYDRAA Commissioner Mr. A.V. Ranganath and NRSC Director Dr. Prakash Chauhan at a formal event attended by senior officials from both organizations. The partnership aims to create a comprehensive digital repository of land boundaries, lakes, canals, drains, parks, and public utility areas.
Mr. Ranganath emphasized that HYDRAA’s mission is to ensure complete transparency regarding Full Tank Levels (FTL), lake buffer zones, and other sensitive land areas. He stated that satellite data provided by NRSC, backed by academic expertise, would deliver highly reliable and precise geographic information to the public.
The MoU marks a key milestone in HYDRAA’s vision to integrate data from multiple sources — including Survey of India toposheets (1970), cadastral maps, revenue records, and satellite imagery — to prevent encroachments and support environmental sustainability.
Dr. Prakash Chauhan noted that Telangana is set to become the first state in India to undertake such a large-scale geospatial initiative focused on lake rejuvenation, government land protection, and sustainable urban development. He reaffirmed NRSC’s full support for the project.
