GISOver 100 officials from various government and public sectors attended a two-day conference on Geographic Information System (GIS).

GIS is a tool used for computerising geographical information, such as, population density, location of the area, land, forest cover, and other natural resources.

The information, once computerized, will help the policy makers plan development activities, efficiently.

The officials also discussed about having geo-information system portal for Bhutan. The geo-information system will help various public sectors access information from the portal.

The Secretary of the National Land Commission, Dasho Sangay Khandu, said if the government decides that the children should not walk more than two kilometeres, the GEO information can be used to take the radius of two kilometers and find out whether there are schools in that area.

“It can also help decide where to locate the school or whether one is sufficient.” Dasho explained, once there is a population data in that two kilometers square, that will enable decision makers plan the school construction and decision making process.

The conference ended today.
