Not too long ago, finding accurate land or infrastructure information in Goa meant sifting through stacks of paper records, visiting multiple government offices and relying on outdated maps. Whether you were a citizen trying to locate a nearby hospital, a business scouting for the right investment location or a planner mapping future infrastructure, the process was slow and fragmented. But that reality quietly changed in 2024.
With the launch of One Map Goa, the state took a decisive step toward simplifying how people access and understand spatial information. Developed by the Department of Information Technology, Electronics & Communications (DITE&C) in collaboration with Goa Electronics Limited (GEL), the One Map Goa GIS Portal brings together Goa’s geospatial data onto a one user-friendly digital platform accessible from a phone or laptop, anywhere in the world.
For citizens this means everyday convenience. By consolidating data from 32 government departments into 273 layers, the portal creates a unified view. It allows land records, infrastructure and public services to coexist on a signal map.
Whether you’re looking for the nearest school, hospital or public utility, trying to measure the distance between your hotel and the beach or checking what infrastructure exists around your neighborhood, tools like Nearest Me, Around Me and Measure turn complex spatial data into simple answers. Users can also bookmark locations, compare areas and even export maps as PDFs for offline use. The portal also encourages participation through a built-in feedback system.
For planners and government departments, One Map Goa is far more than a visualization tool. Advanced GIS editing and full audit trails allow departments to monitor and update assets in real time. From tracking government vehicles to mapping infrastructure, the portal enables precision planning, reduces inefficiencies and supports data-driven decisions. The system is also integrated with national initiatives like PM Gati Shakti and local Smart City projects, ensuring alignment with broader development goals.
More than just a map, One Map Goa is transforming how Goa is planning, building and growing. By putting spatial information into the hands of citizens, planners and investors alike, the Government of Goa is laying the foundation for a smarter, more inclusive and future-ready state.
