1. A method for mapping fiber route information associated with a telecommunication site, comprising step of :
recording, by an electronic device (104), fiber route information indicative of a route of the electronic device within the telecommunication site by three point reference at each of the plurality of locations;
capturing, by the electronic device (104), network component information pertaining to a network component within the telecommunication site and images of surroundings of the network component within the telecommunication site, wherein the electronic device is in a stationary position at the network component within the telecommunication site;
receiving, by the electronic device (104), geographic coordinates pertaining to the route and the network component within the telecommunication site wherein the geographic coordinates are provided by a GPS module communicably coupled to the electronic device (104);
combining, by the electronic device (104), the fiber route information, the network component information, the images of surroundings and the geographic coordinates to generate route information;
creating, by the electronic device (104), a map of the telecommunication site by mapping the captured route information on a pre-stored map; and
storing, by the electronic device (104), the map of the telecommunication site on a storage device (116).

2. The method for mapping fiber route information associated with a telecommunication site as claimed in claim 1 wherein the fiber route information captured by the electronic device (104) includes optical fibre cable (OFC) rollout, type of optical fibre cable (OFC) rollout methodology, location with latitude and longitude, road centre points, fibre distance, road centre line, type of protection, road width, type of road, and nearby attributes.

3. The method for mapping fiber route information associated with a telecommunication site as claimed in claim 1 wherein the map of the telecommunication site is used for one or more operations comprise field change update, online review of field change, allocation and de-allocation of links, daily work status dashboard, and field force tracking.

4. The method for mapping fiber route information associated with a telecommunication site as claimed in claim 1 wherein the map created by the electronic device (104) is used for creating invoice for billing purpose.

5. The method for mapping fiber route information associated with a telecommunication site as claimed in claim 1 wherein the map created by the device is used for future telecom component operation and maintenance.

6. The method for mapping fiber route information associated with a telecommunication site as claimed in claim 1, further comprising extracting survey data from the created map of the telecommunication site and storing the survey data in a database (116) communicably coupled to the electronic device (104).

7. The method for mapping fiber route information associated with a telecommunication site as claimed in claim 1, wherein the survey data is indicative of at least one of district name, taluka name, latitude. longitude, photo, survey date, span ID, asset type, name, and asset ID.

8. An electronic device for mapping fiber route information associated with a telecommunication site implementing the steps of method claims 1-7.
