The aim of this study is to develop the Computer-Based Database System (CBDS), which can entertain the data-related matters of rural planning agencies for effective policy formulation. Unavailability of data and its proper management are the pressing problems of rural planning agencies over the years, which are responsible for the delay execution of policy proposals in developing countries to some extend. Hence, CBDS was developed to manage rural data regarding various development sectors, but mostly physical and socioeconomic. Data can be easily retrieved with the help of this system, which can help in the formulation of relevant policies. Transportation policies can be formulated on time with the help of CBDS focusing accessibility problems. Transport accessibility can ease out the difficulties of rural-regional population in accessing amenities and credential services.
