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.

  • prepared a Location Map and list of villages within a 5 km buffer of mine areas to identify those affected by mining, providing this data to the Chief Executive Officer for the effective implementation of the District Mines Fund (DMF).

  • Data Integration for Land Classification: Survey number-wise data in Excel format was geo-processed by joining it with cadastral boundary data (a standard GIS .shp file) to delineate and generate required spatial outputs distinguishing Wild Life Area, Non-Wild Life Area, and Nilgiris Plantation Blocks for the Territorial Forest Department's reference.

  • Village-level GIS mapping of HDI components (Education, Health, Living Standard) for Gadag District was accomplished by joining socio-economic data (Excel) to village boundary shapefiles to produce thematic maps for reporting.

  • Generated contour maps and various other maps, along with an Excel sheet of village-wise survey numbers, to determine the water spread area and extent of land that would be submerged both upstream and downstream, in support of the District Administration's plan to increase the storage height of the Hammagi Dam from EL 507 to 508.

  • Non-spatial crop survey data from 14 villages was integrated with the spatial cadastral boundary data via a GIS JOIN operation to create thematic maps for crop insurance verification, categorizing field status (Matched/Unmatched/Sown/Not Insured).

  • To support the proposed location of 4 new PWM Units, the Zilla Panchayat Office, Gadag, used GIS processing to create a 20 KM buffer around the unit locations, then clipped and mapped the villages falling within this jurisdiction  to determine coverage.

  • Activity Report for the Month April - July 2025
