ABSTRACT

Chhattisgarh is among the newly formed states of India characterized by high percentage of tribal population residing in rural areas. Like other parts of the country the Chhattisgarh. Newly formed State initiating good governance practices using IT practices to transparent and timely delivery of social services. The distribution of the Gas cylinder under Pradhan Mantri Ujwall Yojna(PMUY) make a key difference in distribution planning using Geo Spatial Technology(GIS). The present paper evaluates the differences between distribution planning technology and without technology. A brief assessment of technology utilization and benefits with few suggestions has given to improve the accessibility.

Introduction- The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana is a welfare program of government of India, launched by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016. The scheme was launched by the Honorable Prime Minister on May 1st from Ballia in Uttar Pradesh. The stated objective of the program is providing 50,000,000 LPG connections to women from families belonging to below poverty line. Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, is a flagship social welfare scheme launched in the State of Chhattisgarh in the first fortnight of August. The state government has so far received 3.55 lakh applications for the Gas connection under the Ujjwala Yojana, out of which 2.46 lakh applications have been verified. The Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh has directed officials to identify the scheme beneficiaries and develop godowns to store LPG cylinders, especially in rural areas. Under the Ujjwala Yojana, about 25 Lakh connections would be provided to the women belonging to BPL households in the state

The Study Area-

India is home to more than 24 Crore households out of which about 10 Crore households are still deprived of LPG as cooking fuel and have to rely on firewood, coal, dung – cakes etc. as primary source of cooking. The smoke from burning such fuels causes alarming household pollution and adversely affects the health of Women & children causing several respiratory diseases/ disorders. As per a WHO report, smoke inhaled by women from unclean fuel is equivalent to burning 400 cigarettes in an hour. In addition, women and children have to go through the drudgery of collecting firewood. The newly State Chhattisgarh has formed on 1st of November 2000; State is the 10th largest state in the country, with an area of 135,194 km2 (52,199 sq mi). It is the 17th most-populated state in India with a

population of 25,45,198 which is 2.11% of countries population. 76.76% of total population resided in Rural area, and 23.24% of population resided in urban region. 40.8% total rural population is belonging to Below Poverty line (BPL) in State.

The Study area of work to prepare a better distribution network for major Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) for providing LPG connections to the woman belonging to the Below Poverty line (BPL) Households. The Geospatial technology can help us for improved distribution planning and project implementation.

Objectives:- The study has a general objective to use technology for Good Governance and applying technology for smooth functioning of Government Social Scheme. Using Geo Spatial technology, planning of distribution network as per Geographical and Socio-Economical status of state Chhattisgarh. The work has following objectives:-

Study of Rural Population in Chhattisgarh.

Study of Socio and Economical Status of Rural Chhattisgarh.

Study of Rural Road Network including National Highway. DATA USED: - All related work data collected in the form of spatial and non spatial data sets. Following spatial and non spatial data sets collected from Chhattisgarh Infotech Biotech Society(CHipS):-

Spatial Data Sets Used:- Land use and Land Cover, District/Block/Gram Panchayat/Village Boundry, Habitation, Forest, Road Network, Socio-Economic data as per Census 2011.

Non Spatial Data Sets Used:- Pre-Existed LPG Distributor and Oil Companies in State Chhattisgarh with Latitude and Longitude, Census 2011 Data.

Data has been collected from different sources like Census 2011, and food department website. District Baster has been taken as a sample District. On the bases of sample data collected, technical analysis has been processed using ArcGIS Geo Spatial tool. Varieties of analytical map prepared for outcome analysis are: District and Block boundry, Gram Panchayat boundary, Village boundary, Major Road connectivity boundary ( like National Highway, State Highway, District Road connectivity, and Internal Gram Panchayat and Village connectivity Road network boundary), Habitation boundary, Forest boundary, Mapping of existing LPG distributors on Analysis map, Mapping of Socio-Economic data on analysis map. Based on the map prepared final Technical Analysis map has been prepared. The process of Technical Analysis map is mentioned below:-

Initially data has been acquired from Chhattisgarh Infotech Biotech Society (CHiPS, Raipur). Data gathered in the form of Spatial and non Spatial Data.

Conversion of all non spatial data into spatial data sets.

Application of Geo processing tools for finding out area of interest for project work. Here area of interest found off with the help of clipping tool. There are many maps which are the part of finding out area of interest are explained in details.

After finding out the area of interest of the project, buffer tools has been applied to find out coverage area of project work. While applying buffer tools to analysis map, I was actually able to find out best coverage to open LPG distributorship as per the dense habitation and most populated area.

Showing Coverage on Google and Bing Map.

Conclusion:-

As per above analysis maps most of the habitation of Bastar, Jagdalpur, Tokapal and Darbha Blocks are covered with existing LPG distributors But Bastnar, Bakawand and Lohandiguda blocks are still uncovered with LPG Distributors. As per our analysis its clearly visible that Block Bastnar with population 48040 and household 10259 is connected with National Highway also, and new distributors can be proposed. Similar with Block Bakawand (Population 149823, Habitation 34621) and Lohandiguda (Population 75842, Habitation 17303) are also connected with Major District Road, So New distributors can be proposed in these Blocks, So that maximum Population will be benefitted with Pradhan Mantri Ujjawala Yojana.
