Nagaland State Spatial Data Infrastructure

This project is for establishing State Spatial Data Infrastructure network in Nagaland. Accurate and organized geospatial data will be readily and continuously available and accessible on a national, state, district and village level basis to contribute to the economic, environmental and social growth of the country.

Nagaland State Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSSDI) along with the shareholder and stakeholder of different departments will be able to leverage the most accurate and rigorous mapping data. Categorized mapping types, predictive modelling, prioritization (asset & threat mapping and spatial action mapping) and monitoring & evaluation

Objectives of the Project:

Primary objective : Development of an interoperable geo-portal web service to support grass root planning in the State and demonstrate its utility in decentralised governance.

Secondary objective : Demonstration of the utility of the data node/geo-portal in sectoral applications.

Tertiary objective : Capacity building and awareness to government line departments in GIS management and the utility of the portal as well as the concept and benefits of spatial data infrastructure at different level of the government hierarchy.

AIMS:

  • - To strengthen the S&T inputs for integrated resource management through development of appropriate tools and techniques in data collection, organization and analysis.
  • - Technical capacity building at various levels of administration for enabling the adoption of the technologies developed in integrated development planning.
