🌐 Role of GIS in Akot’s Development
Some of the areas where GIS and Remote Sensing are especially relevant in Akot:
Agriculture: crop monitoring, soil fertility mapping, yield estimation
Management of orange orchards and other horticultural crops (Akot taluka has recently faced disease concerns in orange crops)
Water resources and irrigation: managing wells, small dams, rainfed versus irrigated lands
Urban growth, infrastructure development, road networks
Land Use / Land Cover (LULC) change tracking
Environmental monitoring, soil health, watershed management
Disaster risk mitigation (e.g. crop disease, droughts)
Akot’s population is about 92,637 (2011 census) for the municipal council, with literacy around 88.5%, which is higher than the state average.
Agriculture is a major livelihood, and in Akola district, while there is considerable cultivable land, many parts including Akot rely heavily on rainfed farming.
