Locations of Bulk Garbage generators. Open Defecation areas, Community Toilet & Public Toilets. Composting units, Identification of Swachha grahis, Publicity and advertisement of Swachh Bharat.

GHMC Commissioner Dr B Janardhan Reddy said that it GIS / Mapping was a very useful tool which went beyond the Swachh Survekshan campaign. Citing several examples he said it would be possible to identify gaps in service delivery, optimization of use of Manpower, Swachh autos / Tricycles as also monitor the whole sanitation infrastructure. He also said that GHMC will train its senior officers to fully use the potential of GIS in all aspects of Municipal administration.

It was a refreshing change to see GHMC staff pouring over maps and understanding aspects of orientation, scale and distance.
