The biggest investigation in house listing will be digital layout mapping. Under this, there will be geo tagging of houses and all establishments. Counting workers will reach home and turn on the location in the app. Pin it on the map. In this way, geo tagging of the house or establishment will be done. Every village, town and every house in the city, shops, shrines, hotels and other buildings will become a GPS map by becoming a dot.
Every house will be made ‘Digi Dot’ on the map, it will have 5 benefits

At the time of an incident like cloudburst in a village situated in the remote Himalayan region, this map will immediately know how many people live. How many people must have been in hotels according to capacity. All the boats, helicopters, food packets etc. required to protect against this details will help.
2. delimitation will help It will also help in determining political boundaries such as parliamentary or assembly constituencies in a rational manner. This picture will be clear from the map prepared from geo tagging that how the balanced sharing of rural and urban areas in the area. Communities should not be divided in such a way that one mohalla joins one area and the other in another area. The process of delivery will be ease with the digi dot of homes.
3. Ease of urban planning This map will also prove useful in planning roads, schools, hospitals or parks in cities. If there is a lot of children in the digital layout of some place houses, then a plan can be prepared to build parks and schools on priority. If there is a lot of raw houses or bad houses in a colony, then immediate mobile relief vans can be sent there during a medical emergency.
4. Urbanization and migration rate data will be available Digital map changes in the census to be held ten years after this census can be easily recorded. The rate of urbanization in different parts of the country and maping of areas of migration can be compared to accurately.
