Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh has earned the distinction of becoming one of the first states to make geo-tagged photos mandatory in monitoring reports of third party monitors while executing Special Plan Assistance and other infrastructure development projects.

“This move will help in checking duplication in the implementation of projects to a large extent,” Planning Secretary Ankur Garg said. He said this would basically mean that the latitude and longitude of the project site where each project photograph is taken along with the time and date would be stamped on it automatically.

The project location would also be indicated on satellite maps in the monitoring reports. Hand-held digital cameras with in-built GPS technology are being used for this purpose, he said adding that the North East Development Finance Corporation, the third party monitors for several districts of the state, have already submitted reports with geo-tagged photos of projects in their monitoring reports for SPA 2009-10.
