Geographic Information System is a
computer based tool for marking specific Places on
maps. It is a collection of map systems, geographic
datum and human knowledge makes it possible to
present the geography around us with the aid of digital
technology. We have collected locations of Work Sites
using Google Earth Android Application and Sharing
Locations on WhatApp Messenger.
We have selected Village Jeeda in District
Bathinda(Punjab) for GIS planning of Works which are
to be executed under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).
