Centre Proposes Unique Digital Coding and Mapping for All Intra-Village Roads
The Union Ministry of Panchayati Raj has proposed the Intra-Village Road Coding and Grading System to assign unique alphanumeric codes, digital identities, and standardized classifications to all internal village roads across India. This framework categorizes roads into Main Roads, Cross Roads, and Other Roads, integrating digital tools like DIGIPIN and Gram Manchitra for geospatial mapping. The system aims to enhance governance, emergency response, service delivery, and rural infrastructure planning, with public feedback sought before implementation.
