Preamble

Developmental planning, being information-intensive, requires integration and analysis of spatial and non-spatial data from a variety of sources. Some of these sources include the National and State level Survey Agencies, Line Departments, Business Houses; R & D Projects; Non-Governmental and Civil Society Organizations; Sensors, and other similar devices. Often data sets from many of these sources are either inaccessible or out-of-date. If available, mostly the data sets are in analogue and non-standard form inhibiting integration. There is no centralized cataloguing of available data prohibiting a unified and comprehensive search for the required data and its evaluation for specific applications. Taking note of these requirements, the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) initiative has been jointly launched by the Department of Science & Technology (DST) and Department of Space (DOS) in 2001. Objective of NSDI is to create an over-arching coordinating framework for improving management of spatial data holdings of data providing agencies.

NSDI – A Brief History

Management of spatial data sets has been the primary focus of the Natural Resources Data Management Programme (NRDMS) conceived and launched by DST in 1982. In the initial phase of the Programme, emphasis was laid on development and demonstration of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology (GRAM++ GIS Package) and its use in setting up of district level GIS Centres for addressing the spatial data needs of the end users. With gradual evolution and adoption of GIS, Remote Sensing, and Positioning System technologies by the end user community and availability of Communication technologies (e.g. Internet and mobile devices), the emphasis has shifted to development of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) to promote spatial data sharing.

SDI may be viewed as a combination of technologies, policies, standards and people to promote sharing of spatial data amongst all levels of government, private and non-profit sectors, academia and civil society organizations. Creation of NSDI is expected to facilitate end user’s accessibility to a standard set of organized spatial and non-spatial data in a transparent and interoperable manner. In 2001, a Task Force was constituted by DST to formulate strategy and action plan for setting up of the NSDI. In June 2006, NSDI came into effect through a resolution of the Union Cabinet that provided for setting up of a two-tier body with definite composition and power towards better coordinating management of spatial data holdings of national level data providing organizations.

Vision

• National infrastructure for the availability and access to organised spatial data

• Use of this infrastructure at community, local, regional and national levels for sustained economic growth.

Objective

Creation of a national infrastructure for the solution of real-life problems using relevant, current and accurate geospatial data and spatial processing for a sustained economic growth and social progress.

Organisational Structure

The two-tier body of NSDI consists of a National Spatial Data Committee (NSDC) and the supporting Executive Committee (EC). NSDC is chaired by the Hon’ble Minister of Science & Technology and Earth sciences with Secretaries of concerned Ministries/ Departments as members. The NSDI-EC is co-chaired by the Surveyor General of India and the Director, National Remote Sensing Centre with Directors General/ Chairmen of national level data generating agencies as members. A lean secretariat headed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with four technical and five administrative staff members provides support to NSDC and NSDI-EC in implementing their decisions. Each agency/department has nominated a nodal officer who is also the member of the NSDI Working Groups on various themes like Metadata, Data Content; Interoperability; Pricing; Data Delivery etc.

NSDC or NSDI EC meets at least once a year and the nodal officers once a quarter to review progress of implementation of NSDI. Annual NSDI Conference is being organized every year since 2001 for providing a unified platform for the stakeholders to deliberate on issues pertaining to management of spatial data.

Tools, Technologies, Applications Developed

= Data conversion Tool for converting data from Everest Spheroid datum to WGS84 datum

= Ontology Tool for semi-automated matching of geographical object names for semantic interoperability

= Tool for migration of metadata from NSDI Metadata Standard Ver1.0 to Ver2.0

NSDI - 11

The 11th Annual Meet and Conference NSDI-11 is being organised by the NSDI Secretariat, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, in collaboration with the Karnataka State Council for Science & Technology (KSCST), Bengaluru at Bengaluru during December 21-23, 2011. The theme of this conference is “Realising State Spatial Data Infrastructures”. This is in line with the 12th plan (2012-2017) proposal of the DST prepared on the basis of the decision taken in the Conference of the State Chief Secretaries held in New Delhi on 4-5 February 2011. The proposal seeks to establish a framework on the lines of the NSDI at the state level to facilitate the integration of all the available spatial and non-spatial data residing in key line departments and make those accessible to the users through ‘web’. This is aimed at building the process of developmental planning using ‘geospatial data’ and enabling a paradigm shift from ‘e-governance’ to g-governance’. NSDI will provide the requisite technical support for the creation of a state-of-the-art SDI in the States using a standard architecture.

Technical Sessions

The technical sessions of the NSDI-11 Conference aims at creating a common platform for insightful deliberations, networking and collaborations amongst Geospatial user community and technology stakeholders.

Each session of 90-minute duration aims at capturing the issues related to policy, technology, the experiences, challenges and advantages involved in the establishment of the SSDIs, as well as chalking out the roles and responsibilities of the governments, industry and all the concerned to evolve a sustainable plan for “Realising State Spatial Data Infrastructure” in all the States and Union Territories of the country.

Government of Karnataka

The state's high rate of reforms and the citizens were the most important factor in its programmes.

The State has been successful in attracting significant investments. Karnataka has been

ranked as most favourable investment destination as per the recent Industry Association - ASSOCHAM report. The USP of our State is

= Pro active policies and investor friendly Government

= Excellent human resource

= Abundant natural resources, Iron ore, lime stone and precious metals

= Peaceful industrial environment

= Good infrastructure and logistics

= Single window approval mechanism for quicker implementation.

www.karnataka.gov.in

Keeping in view the increasing dependence of the Zilla Panchayats/Urban, local bodies and the line departments for decision making on spatial datasets, the GoI and the GoK had extended support for the development of a Geoportal under the project Karnataka State Spatial Data Infrastructure (KSSDI) - to discover/ access spatial data sets through the web, that is spread across the states in different districts and also in different departments of the government to make it useful in the local level integrated planning. The Steering Committee of the project ensures and encourages participation of state level departments/directorates to interact to evolve suitable strategies for data sharing as well as data updation. This State GeoPortal is the forerunner of the envisaged ‘State Level Spatial Data Infrastructure’. Karnataka GeoPortal is eventually envisaged to function as a centralised single window access mechanism for all spatial data held and acquired by various agencies/line departments of the state.

Karnataka State Council for Science & Technology – The Host Organisation

The Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST) established in 1975 as a registered society has been playing a catalytic role in promoting the application of Science and Technology in the developmental needs, objectives and goals of Karnataka and in particular to the prevailing conditions of backwardness, rural unemployment and poverty.

The KSCST is one of the first councils to be set up in the country to fulfil the felt need of bringing together administrators, field level officers in various government departments, scientists and technologists in research laboratories and research institutions to collaborate wherever possible to develop technologies appropriate to and in harmony with the ecological conditions. The Council ever since its inception has been striving to catalyse interaction between developers and users of technologies, by bringing together scientists and engineers on the one hand and policy makers as well as administrators on the other.

Karnataka State Spatial Data Infrastructure Program

A joint project of Natural Resources Data Management S y s t e m ( N R D M S ) o f Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, and the Government of Karnataka, the KSCST , Bengaluru had developed district-level GIS databases to support the process of Local Level Planning at the district and sub-district levels. Respective Zi l la P a n c h a y a t s a n d l i n e departments have been depending upon the databases for meeting t h e i r s p a t i a l d a t a requirements. Over the past one and a half decade, all the 30 districts of the State have been systematically covered, thereby making Karnataka the only state to have been covered in entirety.
