In a significant step towards environmental conservation and urban forest management, Nagpur Mayor Neeta Thakre on wednesday inaugurated an AI and LiDAR-based Smart Tree Assessment Pilot Project at Deekshabhoomi.
The initiative aims to create a comprehensive digital database of trees across the city using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced LiDAR technology. As part of the pilot phase, detailed information on nearly 5,000 trees will be collected and analyzed to assess their health, structure, and overall condition.
The project is expected to help the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) strengthen its tree conservation efforts through scientific monitoring and data-driven decision-making. The technology will enable authorities to map, evaluate, and maintain urban greenery more effectively.
During the launch, Mayor Neeta Thakre also reviewed the technology firsthand and received a demonstration of the AI and LiDAR-enabled tree assessment system installed in a specially equipped survey vehicle.
The pilot project is being implemented as part of NMC’s broader efforts to promote sustainable urban development and strengthen environmental protection measures in the city.
