Project Overview
A digital door-to-door household survey platform for two districts in Madhya Pradesh, capturing approximately 300 data points per household and visualising demographic distribution on Arc GIS and Google Maps for civic planning and tax collection.
The Challenge
The Madhya Pradesh Urban Ministry needed accurate, location-tagged demographic data across Burhanpur and Khandwa districts to inform property tax, water tax, and welfare planning. Paper-based surveys had historically suffered from inconsistent data, slow consolidation, weak geospatial accuracy, and almost no analytical lift after the fact.
Our Approach
We built a structured field-data capture application with offline-capable forms, GPS tagging, and a back-office mapping layer on Arc GIS and Google Maps. The platform digitised the entire pipeline — from a surveyor walking up to a household, to the official viewing the city's demographic distribution on a live map. The same structured data-capture discipline now feeds the AI-driven civic analytics systems being deployed today.
The Outcome
Both districts moved from paper-based surveys to a single source of demographic truth, enabling property and water tax targeting that was previously impossible at scale and giving city officials a live, queryable view of their population.
