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.
