O/o Zilla Panchayath, Bagalkot District - 587102

Introduction

The Bagalkot district NRDMS Centre was established in the year 2007-2008 at Office of the Bagalkot Zilla Panchayath with financial support from Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, Implemented by K.S.C.S.T, Bangalore with active support from Department of Science & Technology, Government of Karnataka. The main objective of the centre is to create the digital database on Natural resources, Demography, Agro & Socio economy and infrastructure facilities  of the  District to provide analysed information to the district administrators, Zilla panchayath, line departments, Academic institutions and NGOs in Natural resources management and  rural development planning with the help of  GIS  and other advanced scientific technologies.

Activities carried out at District NRDMS Centre

  • The primary objective of District NRDMS Centre under NRDMS Project is to create Extensive database on Spatial Database (Maps) and Non-Spatial Database (Attribute data) of Natural Resources, Socio & agro-economic parameters and Infrastructure facilities of the district after collating from the line departments and other organizations and it is been updating regularly based on nature of availability of data and requirements.

  • Technical activities focused on the specialized Avallokana Software for data processing and reporting, and utilized Arc GIS/GIS analysis for tasks like creating Section Boundary Maps and analyzing spatial relationships for fire station coverage.

  • The Centre's primary data collection effort was the SBMG IHHL (Individual Household Latrine) report activity, which is a highly specific, decentralized data acquisition task requiring coordination with SBMG Nodal Officers for final data compilation.

  • The foundational technical output revolves around developing Geo-Spatial Action Plan Maps for key line departments (Health, Planning, Woman & Child Development, AHVS), demonstrating the Centre's core objective of integrating spatial data into departmental infrastructure and social planning.

  • The Police Accident Zone Heat Maps, This process involves spatial statistical analysis (such as Kernel Density Estimation) to transform point-based accident data into a continuous, color-coded raster surface, enabling authorities to visually identify and prioritize high-risk areas for resource allocation.

  • vector data layers such as Village Boundaries, Taluk Boundaries, GP Locations, GESCOM Section Boundaries, and Police Station Locations. This allows for complex spatial analysis by overlaying administrative and infrastructure data to create new thematic maps.

  • A specific map (Bagalkote Bridge cum Barrage and Check Dam map) is used for flood monitoring in Bagalkot, integrating data on the Almatti dam, bridge-cum-barrages, check dams, and major rivers (Krishna, Ghataprabha, Malaprabha) to support prevention and mitigation efforts by government agencies (KSDMA and Water Resources Department).
