Development launched the National Urban Information System (NUIS) Scheme in
March 2006 to develop GIS databases for 152 cities/ towns in the country at two
scales i.e., 1:10000 using satellite images and 1:2000 using aerial
photography. Objectives a) Develop spatial and attribute database b) Use modern
data sources c) Develop Standards d) Develop urban indices, and e) Build
capacity at State & local level.
NUIS Scheme consists
of four major components:
MAPPING
ESTABLISHMENT OF NUIS

NATIONAL URBAN DATA
BASE AND INDICATORS
CAPACITY BUILDING
NUIS-Bhuvan Portal:
In coordination with NRSC, Department of Space, the geo-spatial data of 152
NUIS cities/towns at 1:10,000 scale has been uploaded on Bhuvan Portal. A new
web-based “NUIS-Bhuvan” application and tools have been developed for
formulation of Master Plans, 2 which will facilitate creation of geo-spatial
data, updation of NUIS data with current satellite images, and integrating
other spatial data like cadastral maps and attribute data by the ULBs and
monitoring master plan formulation.
OF THE 152 CITIES, 24
ARE FROM Jammu and Kashmir which is maximum.
Tamil Nadu, NCT Delhi
