Natural Resources Data Management System - Karnataka Project

 

HIGHLIGHTS OF WORK CARRIEDOUT BY
DISTRICT NRDMS CENTRES

 

Background:

Under a joint project of Natural Resources Data Management System (NRDMS) of Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, and the Government of Karnataka, Karnataka State Council for Science & Technology (KSCST), Bangalore has developed district level GIS databases to support the process of Local Level Planning at the levels of district, taluk and village. Over the past two decades all the thirty districts of Karnataka State have been covered under NRDMS program. Each District Database contains spatial and attribute data sets useful in local level planning processes in the sectors of Natural Resources, Demography, Agro-economy, Socio-economy and Infrastructure facilities. Respective Zilla Panchayaths and Line Departments have been depending upon the databases for meeting their data requirements. Recently, at the behest of CEO/CPOs of the Zilla Panchayats, the Council has initiated Resource, Infrastructure and Habitation mapping using Geospatial Technologies for Gram Panchayaths / ULB's in Karnataka in few selected districts for informed decision-making.

Activities of district NRDMS centre activities during 2009-10

  • District level user interaction workshops have been conducted on "Web based Geographic Information System" to create awareness among end user in the utility of geospatial database through Internet. During these workshops the utility of the GeoPortal was demonstrated to the end users for planning and management of resources. The Council conducted district level workshops in twenty four districts of the State. The activities of the NRDMS program and the web based GeoPortal evoked good response among the district officials. Several requests were received during the workshop to take up activities utilizing geospatial technologies to developmental programs and also to provide a detailed technical / project reports to plan the resources and infrastructure.
