National Urban Information System (NUIS) is a National Mission initiated by Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) in 2006 for Generation of multiscale (10,000, 2000, 1000) Hierarchial Urban Geospatial Database on Thematic content using Satellite, Aerial and GPR techniques. In Phase-I, 152 towns representing all States/UTs in the country have been selected. The project has been executed by Town & Country Planning Organization (TCPO), Survey of India (SOI) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC/ISRO) with SRSAC as Partner Institutes. The Thematic Database at 1:10,000 scale has been prepared using Cartosat-1 (PAN) 2.5m and IRS P6 LISS IV MX 5.8m satellite data. The Thematic data consists of 12 primary layers of Base, Urban Landuse, Geology, Geomorphology, Physiography and Soils and 4 Incorporated layers of Administrative, Forest, City / town boundaries and Settlement Location Names. This data would enable the State Nodal Agency (SNA) and Urban Local Bodies (ULB) for Master Plan / Development Plan Preparation, Transportation Plan and Urban Environment Planning.
