Platform will help in implementing the vision of the National Geospatial Policy, 2022.
- SoI is overarching nodal agency for Geospatial Data.
- Geospatial data is time-based data that is related to a specific location on the Earth’s surface.
About the National Geo-Spatial Platform (NGP)
- Objective: To serve as a robust and scalable system for standardizing, sharing, and managing foundational geospatial datasets, and
- It will facilitate seamless access to accurate and authoritative spatial data through web services, APIs, and mobile applications
Harnessing Geospatial Data for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth
- Agriculture: Enhancing precision farming, soil health mapping and irrigation management.
- Logistics & Transportation: Enables integrated infrastructure planning. E.g., PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan
- Urban Planning and Infrastructure: Drives advancements in urban design by supporting high-resolution topographical surveys (5-10 cm accuracy) and the future development of a National Digital Twin for major cities.
- E.g., Geographical Information System (GIS) based Master Plan for Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) cities
- Other: Environmental conservation (providing high-resolution location data and spatial intelligence), Disaster Management, etc.
