MESSAGE

While human-kind has used sketches, drawings, maps and images to means of depicting events or phenomena, the most impacting visualization and representation of information has been with the advent of satellite images – which provide a “snap-shot” detailed view of our Earth; precise positioning and surveying data – that allows quick and aligned mapping; digital maps – that provide layer-by-layer sequencing of features and internet that allows serving and displaying these in a user-defined manner. This technological revolution, which is being adapted by most nations, is Geographical Information Systems (GIS) – a means to create, organise, retrieve, serve, process and display Geographic Information (GI) in most ingenuous manner. GIS is the need of the hour in India and recognising this, the state of Karnataka is embarking on a Karnataka GIS – an institutionalised system that will ensure availability and accessibility to GIS data and applications to different user groups for the state. Karnataka-GIS is essential as the state needs robust information and decision support systems to aid decision making process for planning and implementation of various developmental programs and also for empowering citizens with GIS data. Further, it is well-aligned to National-GIS which is being taken up at national level. The process of establishment and subsequent operationalisation would provide considerable opportunities for private sector to contribute and be a part of this national endeavor. K-GIS would also give a boost to education and research in GIS with specific school, university and research education focus and training in GIS. The K-GIS vision and programme definition exercise, undertaken by the KJA GIS Task Force, has been quite fruitful and has resulted in focusing a unique and innovation state capability of GIS. Apart from the vision definition, the Task Force has also made a good assessment of user needs – in terms of GIS data and applications for various departments, citizens and others. A good matrix-stricture has been identified for implementation where multiple agency capability is integrated. We in the task Force think Karnataka is now ready and prepared to implement Karnataka-GIS. With the submission of this report, the KJA GIS-TF has completed its main task. I would like to thank all my colleagues in the Task Force and also the KSRSAC scientists for their contributions in preparing the vision for the Karnataka GIS and definition of user needs.

1 INTRODUCTION

1. India has been marching on a path of high economic growth and in the 12th Plan the

aim is to maintain a sustained inclusive growth of 8% GDP level. Sustaining an

inclusive development process implies simultaneously meeting multiple challenges

such as accelerating agricultural growth, taking major strides in health, education and

skill development, achieving energy security, spurring industrial growth, efficient

management of natural resources like water and effectively managing urban growth.

The engines of growth also demand a major step up in investments in infrastructure –

at least to a trillion dollar level - during the plan period.

2. Karnataka is one of the leading states contributing to the economic and technological

development of modern India and will play a major role in the 12th Plan and ahead to

sustain a high rate of development for the state and also contribute significantly to

national growth. Karnataka envisions emerging as an inclusively developed state,

doubling its GSDP from Rs. 2719.56 billion (2010-11)1 by 2020. The state has an

illustrious accomplishment in modern technological endeavors and institutions –

especially in high-technology and Information Technology arena; bounty of natural

resources and high-skilled human resources – all of which augur well to achieve the

ambitious goals.

3. Karnataka envisages that a vastly different innovative and progressive information

regimeis required for meeting the challenges of state‟s development, assure efficiency

of citizen services, enable industrial and infrastructure development and also to

generate a strong economy – a regime powered by modern metrics systems, efficient

informatics and analytics with real-time information delivery and a constant

interaction between government and citizens – such a regime will have to be the

foundation for the governing as well as the governed. This newinformation paradigm

is crucial for improved and efficient governance, forequitable and sustainable

development, empowering citizens in participatory democracy, enabling enterprises to

Foundation. Ministry of Commerce with the Confederation of Indian Industry) – Section on Karnataka.

Page 2

better manage businesses and inmaking the future generation highly knowledgeable in

information technologies and services.

4. One important area in this new information regime is Geographical Information (GI)

– any information that has a geographical or location context and, mainly includes,

satellite images, aerial images/data, maps – topographic and thematic, ground survey

data, positioning data, geo-tagged attributes/tables etc and also any derivatives from

their processing – all of which are amenable to visual display, integration and

processing and serving as maps/images in the spatial domain. Such GI is becoming

increasingly important in society and its relevance/usage is increasing in great orders.

5. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) pertains to the “total system” for GI –

technologiesfor creating, storing/archiving, accessing/processing, disseminating GI;

applications – use of GI in wide range of applications that impact individuals, society,

nations and our planet, as a whole; policies – at regional, national and international

level for sharing and pursuitof use of GI and institutional frameworks, including

human resources development, for the organised and successful practice of GI.

6. GIS technology has made rapid advances –“integrating” technology that encompasses

advanced precision surveying of features and precise positioning of objects, modern

map-making in digital and layered formats and advanced real-time cartography on the

web, high-resolution imaging and automated image interpretation and feature

extraction, creating large area spatial databases, computing and spatial-crunching of

multi-layered data with advanced networking technology delivering such GI in real-

time basis on desktops, mobile and sophisticated display systems. Applications of GIS

have great national relevance and can support governance activities, help prepare

sustainable development strategies, involve citizens in participatory democracy,

enable enterprises to manage business better and bring geographical knowledge to

citizens. Thus, GIS has become not only an important technology but is also

becoming a tool that assists in governance, development of society and supports

citizen activities.

7. In India, GIS technology has been in use from 1980s and a good knowledge-base in

GIS has been created over the years. GIS is being used in many government and


Page 3

private organizations and large number of GIS application projects have been

implemented. With the availability of multi-resolution satellite images; topographical

and thematic maps (forest maps, geological maps, groundwater maps, soil maps etc),

many GIS based initiatives have been implemented. Notable ones are the Natural

Resources Information System under National Natural Resources Management

System (NNRMS); National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) of Department of

Science and Technology (DST); Bhuvan Image Portal of Department of Space

(DOS); Delhi State Spatial Data Infrastructure(DSSDI) of Delhi State; National

Urban Information System (NUIS) of Ministry of Urban Development (MUD); G2G

GIS by National Informatics Centre (NIC); recent efforts at modernization of land

records under NRLMP; various City-GISs (example Mumbai, Bangalore, Kanpur,

Kolkata etc) and many others. In addition, various states have also undertaken GIS

initiatives to support state-level projects. Of late, many private sector GIS projects

have also been successful in the commercial domain.

8. In Karnataka, satellite images and GIS have been used from late 1980 onwards and

following agencies have evolved over time to undertake specialized RS and GIS

activities:

8.1. Karnataka was one of the first state to establish, in 1986, a separate Karnataka

State RS Utilization Centre – which later was renamed, in 1997, as Karnataka

State RS Applications Centre (KSRSAC). In the past 25 years, KSRSAC has

brought in a variety of RS and GIS applications for different users and has

organized a variety of GIS databases for the state – thereby supporting a large

number of departments/projects of GOK with valuable maps and GIS data and

also being a “focal point” for RS images. As a result of these efforts of

KSRSAC, over the past 10 years, use of satellite/aerial images and GIS have

proliferated in various departments of GOK - Department of Forests, Town

Planning Department, Department of Agriculture, Urban Development

Department, various city municipalities and authorities (Bangalore city was

one of the first cities to use RS and GIS for urban planning and now Mysore,

Hubli, Mangalore and many others adopt GIS), Irrigation Department, Mines

and Geology department and many others have been using RS and GIS as part

of their projects. Recognizing the importance of the role of KSRSAC and also


Page 4

of RS and GIS technologies, in 2002, Government of Karnataka (GOK)

notified KSRSAC2 as the state‟s nodal agency for RS and GIS activities and

for establishing a state-wide GIS database and supporting the needs of various

departments.

8.2. In 1992, Department of Science and Technology and GOK established Natural

Resources Data Management System (NRDMS) as a RS and GIS initiative

implemented through KSCST. The NRDMS has been institutionalized in the

state, in phases, through the Department of Rural Development and

Panchayath Raj and is supporting 30 Zilla Panchayats for implementation of

their activities and plans. In more recent times, KSCST has developed

Karnataka Geo-portal for the benefit of planners and administrators; and the

portal contains seamless state-wide GIS database on selected layers viz.

administrative boundaries, derived boundaries for panchayat raj institutions

for administration, infrastructure maps (on amenities and utilities) etc. The

spatial data is free and open to all for viewing-access and discovery.

8.3. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Management Centre (KSNDMC) has

excellent application and infrastructure in the field of Disaster Management,

including early warning and mitigation aspects. KSNDMC collects weather,

geological, hydrological data on real time. KSNDMC operates a Master

Control Facility, which is supported by a network of 1600 Telemetric Rain

Gauges, 200 Satellite and GPRS linked weather stations, 13 Earthquake

Monitoring Stations – all of these pumping weather/disaster data on a

continuous basis to a centralized GIS database and a web enabled GIS

Applications system with modern geo-information processing and real-time

communication/delivery systems.

8.4. In the late 1990s, many RS and GIS private sector agencies (for example,

Magnasoft, Genesis, Navayuga, Cybertech, NIIT-GIS, Infosys, Wipro, Pixel

Softekand many others) established GIS practice and have been providing RS

Page 5

and GIS based services – not mainly to Karnataka but as out-sourced service

providers to customers in other parts of the world and the country.

8.5. In past few years, many academic universities started having specialized

masters MTech/MSc education in RS and GIS (like in VTU, Mangalore

University, IISc, KSRSAC etc) and a large number of expert human resources

have been generated – that found career-opportunities not only in Karnataka

but outside. Even NGOs started adopting GIS and many social relevance of

GIS have been implemented (Janaagraha, CSTEP, NIAS and many others).

TABLE-1 shows a list of agencies (illustrative list; to be constantly updated)

using RS and GIS in their activities. From this it can be seen that there is

sufficient critical mass of knowledge in this field and Karnataka has done well

in this field.

9. In spite of fairly wide usage of GIS technology in the state and also by central

agencies, the full potential of GIS has not been exploited in the country for decision-

support by planners, decision-makers, citizens and many others who are stake holders

for governance. Although many initiatives have been successful in proving GIS

application potentials in a “project mode”, GIS is yet to get a “service orientation”

and get assimilated to become a part of the process of governance, planning and

nation-building in a significant manner. The main reasons for this situation are (i) lack

of easily available and regularly updated GIS-Ready data for the nation, (ii) lack of

comprehensive, easy-to-use GIS Decision Support System, and (iii) absence of an

integrated and overarching system to foster high-level of national capability in this

field.

10. In response to the undeniable needs of contemporary society and in tune with India‟s

vision towards bringing a new paradigm for governance and development with

emphasis on participatory approach from communities and citizens, India is taking up

implementation of a National GIS3. The broad vision of National GIS is to enable a

scientific mapping of the resources, needs and aspirations of beneficiaries and society,

especially the most disadvantaged; support sustainable and spatial planning; assist

quick and reliable monitoring of plan implementation and status of development;

enable transparent systems for inclusivity of society and support real-time feed-back

and redressal systems.

11. Aligned with this National GIS Vision, it is realized that a complementary State GIS

system will be integral element to deliver state specific data assets and applications

that are relevant for the development of the state. In today‟s fast-transforming

scenario, states that will possess a sound and progressive system of GIS will lead

nation-building and chart innovative ways in furthering and growth of state economy

and prosperity. A front ranking capability in GIS in the state will leverage the state

tobe progressive and dynamic element of a modern day governance and participatory

democracy system.

12. Karnataka envisions taking a leadership step for establishment of a Karnataka-GIS

(K-GIS), the concept of which was the foresight of the Government of Karnataka and

the Karnataka Jnana Aayoga (KJA)4&5to set in motion a process of consultation with

the key departments in the government on the Vision for a State GIS and for assessing

needs through a broad consultation process.

13. KJA established a multi-disciplinary Task Force for K-GIS (K-GIS TF)6 initial steps

and vision definition and also requested KSRSAC to take up the next steps for

implementation of K-GIS. The K-GIS TF decided to prepare a Vision for K-GIS and

also prepare an assessment of User Needs for K-GIS – a set of requirements from

users in GOK, industries, academia and NGOs. It was decided to draft the Vision and

User Needs, in consultation with key GOK departments and key experts in the

state/nation, and then to expose the draft Vision and User Needs to a larger

consultation and debate with the larger stake-holders and users of GIS in the state –

within government, industries, academia and NGOs.

Page 7

14. K-GIS TF had an initial set of meetings held with the Principal Secretaries and senior

officials of various GOK departments which have been using GIS or have a key

interest in GIS based decision support – it was clear from these meetings that need for

K-GISwas endorsed and reinforced. The focus on needs rather than an accent on

merely sharing the available information puts the state in forefront of a trend which is

emerging globally in the field of GIS systems. This focus will be the distinguishing

driving factor for innovations over the entire evolutionary chain of the proposed K-

GIS ranging from the system architecture to the organizational scheme to the policy

frameworks to the application enablers. It is this focus alone which firmly identifies

and addresses bridging of gaps that exist between what is and what is not delivered

through present systems and what are the felt needs in theenvironment.

15. K-GIS TF recognized that a state-wide GIS – founded on a strong

surveying/imaging/mapping; geospatial databases with geo-tagged tabular data;

integrative geographical applications can form a “structured enterprise” of GIS based

Decision Support System (DSS). K-GIS can be an important technology area which

brings vast benefits to governing systems and also to the stakeholders (citizens) by

bringing about the geographical depiction of disparity (gaps/needs) and development.

GIS will be an arena of technological and developmental edge to the state of

Karnataka.

16. In the above perspective, it is imperative that ……… KARNATAKA GIS IS AN

IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL NEED.


Page 8

2 IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE OF GIS7

17. Applications of GIS can be critical to many aspects of governance and state‟s

development and can help in reaching the gains of development to the most needy

people at the most needy locations in the most scientific and transparent manner.

Thus, GIS can power and support open-governance methods by involving citizens,

opening up information in easy-to-understand map formats and also assist to bring in

accountability and responsibility of public and governance activities. At the same

time, GIS can also help enterprises by enabling spatial solutions in support of their

enterprise activities (be it in private participation of state-development or in the

efficiency of businesses). Citizens‟ benefit from the GIS maximally by enabling the

mapping of their aspirations, demands, complaints and suggestions and become

important stake-holders in state development.

18. GIS can be a major differentiator for decision-making at all levels of state governance

– be it in government, in enterprises or by citizens; be it state-level, district/panchayat

or local-body levels or be it for long-term planning or for immediate

decisions/actions. Hence, when it comes to GIS focus must be on Decision Support

and emphasis must be on improving quality of DECISION MAKING and

EMPOWERING CITIZENS.

19. GIS is not just about images and maps, but must include a whole host of spatial data

representation of geo-tagged developmental data tables - all of which comprises the

“integrated” GIS-content for the state. It must be recognized that in just producing

best satellite images or best topographic maps or best forest maps etc is just half the

problem addressed for a GIS Decision Support. Unless these are fused with large

volumes of development data of government the second half of the Decision Support

is not bridged. Today, with such a readily-available and easily-usable “integrated”

GIS content not available in the state, our state decision-process is always denied of

this crucial differentiator and decisions not only lack the benefit of the GIS approach

7Adapted from ICG (2011). Implementation of a National GIS under INGO – Programme document. A National GIS Vision document prepared by Planning Commission‟s Interim Core Group and published by Ministry of Earth Sciences in October, 2011 – accessible at http://www.moes.gov.in/national_gis.pdf

but are also unable to even exploit the benefits that can accrue from the simple usage

of images and maps.

20. Structurally, the government is organized in sectors – thus data collection and

mapping is also sectoral – BUT what GIS can do is enrichment of information by

integrating across these “sectoral systems” into an integrated data system. Such an

“integrated” GIS dataset can be easily super-imposed and correlated to bring to fore

new geographical-data relationships and patterns, hither-to unavailable, and not just

bring scientific perspective of decisions but also help determine the right decision-

alternatives right down to grass-roots level. This will enable making better and

qualified decisions and help sustainable development with a participatory approach.

21. Presently, there is one major “deterrent” that a prospective user of GIS faces in India.

India today lacks GIS-Ready data which is most current and which a USER can easily

access and use (though pockets of GIS-Ready data are generated by some agency in

specific project mode). In spite of the high-quality satellite images, large amount of

survey and mapping in the form of topographic maps, forest maps, census data or

even image data etc, this gap of organizing all of these into GIS-Ready form still

exists. Thus, either the prospective GIS USER has to put tremendous efforts each time

in organizing GIS-ready data from these maps/images for Decision Support activity.

So, many a time, even if a USER wants to use GIS for decision-making, he may be

discouraged by the tremendous technological “processing” one has to get into – and

thus may not really exploit the potential of GIS to support his decision-making.

22. There is yet another major aspect that needs to be addressed to make GIS a part and

parcel of the decision-process. If GIS has to be embedded into a work- or decision-

process, then it needs to be assured that the GIS-Ready data is constantly updated and

so that currency of data is most recent for the governance process and usage. Further,

new sets of GIS-Ready data that becomes possible with advances in GIS technology –

say, maps on 1:10k scale or larger; re-surveyed land ownership data; terrain data on

3D; underground assets GIS data in cities; crowd sourced data and so on must also get

assured to the GIS USER and continuously improve the GIS Decision Support

services over time.


Page 10

23. Enabling a wide usage of GIS based Decision Support also requires building policy

environment for GIS over and above the existing present policies and create an

“integrating” and over-arching policy framework. While government has the Remote

Sensing Data Policy, 2011 for dissemination of Remote Sensing images and the

National Map Policy, 2005 for usage and dissemination of SOIs topographic maps,

these basically address the individual, but important, elements of images and

topographic maps dissemination. Thus, there is a need for a comprehensive GIS

Policy which over-arches the existing images and topographic maps policy definitions

but also covers the gamut of activities of a GIS and that would promote and

encourage wide GIS usage. In a recent study undertaken by National Institute of

Advanced Studies (NIAS), a first attempt has been made to analyze and define a

comprehensive National GI Policy encompassing – imaging, surveying, positioning,

mapping, GIS content, GIS Applications, GIS education and other institutional issues

in a 69-clause draft GI Policy. 8 Such a comprehensive policy is under discussion and

consideration through Department of Science and technology (DST), Government of

India.

24. It is appropriate to institutionalize the GIS activities under an organizational focus that

can be responsible and focus on addressing the technological, GIS data and

applications services, inter-organizational and policy aspects of GIS. Presently, each

ministry/department or user entities attempt to address on their own the GIS activity

which is quite a technology-intensive activity and requires down-stream geo-

processing and GIS knowledge for organizing the GIS. As a result, multiple effort

investments are happening in maintaining the GIS data capability by each

ministry/department and the same GIS-data is being generated/maintainedby each of

the ministry/department. This leads to large-scale duplication and redundant efforts

leading to tremendous state-level data inconsistency. A single-window mandated

ORGANISATION for generating/maintaining the map/image and GIS data-sets as a

common GIS-ready data for the state and also for developing the GIS Applications for

departments/citizens. This would eliminate the multiple efforts and can enable

departments and users to avail the GIS Decision Support that would be tuned to each

department decision-process.

25. In the National GIS vision, yet another critical and strategic consideration has been

made for National GIS (though this may be less consideration at state-level – even as

state-efforts can strengthen this consideration at national level). In the National GIS

vision it is recognized that in the global perspective, GIS is becoming a critical

capability that provides technological edge to nations. In today‟s transforming world,

nations that possess an advanced and progressive system of GIS would lead and chart

ways in their own national and in the international arena far ahead of those that would

use more traditional forms of information management. GIS technology is gaining

critical importance in the international and multi-lateral frameworks – like, addressing

cross-cutting issues of environment, rivers/drainage systems, borders, climate change

and even in homeland security cooperation and in defence (particularly as defence

equipment and systems are based on geospatial technology usage). A national

capability in GIS is very much required for India to be prepared with its own GIS-

ready data, satellite images, GIS Applications and GIS infrastructure. Thus, it is

essential that the nation enable itself in GIS technology with a knowledge capability

that will not only help bring benefits of GIS to its own national development efforts

BUT also give it an edge in the international arena. A National GIS will provide that

technological edge to India in the international arena.

26. In summary, the key questions that need to be addressed are:

26.1. how can the state ensure that its decision/governance process and citizen

participation are supported by a comprehensive, easy-to-use GIS Decision

Support System that brings scientific, participatory and quality into decisions,

planning and developmentand also enables citizen‟s heightened participation

in state-building process.

26.2. how can the state ensure that GIS-Ready data is easily available and

maintained – by adding a capability over the images and maps that have

already been generated by KSRSAC and invested in by GOK.

3 NEED FOR KARNATAKA-GIS

27. The State has identified twelve key areas of transformation as part of “Karnataka

Vision-2020” 9– with the major thrust of ensuring that the benefits from economic

growth are more evenly spread to secure and improve the livelihoods of weaker

sections of the state‟s population. The main goals of the Vision-2020 are:

Increasing rural incomes through greater viability of agriculture and allied

activities

Focusing on job-oriented growth through concomitant skill development of

the workforce

Developing the State as a vibrant knowledge society

Improving access and availability of quality healthcare for all

Achieving a sustainable and orderly process of industrialization and

urbanization

Enhancing opportunities and empower women across economic, social and

political spheres

Bridging the gap between socially backward and vulnerable groups and rest of

the people

Improving energy availability and develop infrastructure to boost productive

potential of economy

Preserving and promoting Karnataka‟s rich heritage

Ensuring sustainability of the State‟s environment and natural resources

Building and sustaining Bangalore‟s leadership in science, technology and

knowledge based industries

Improving governance through wider participation and deep democratic

decentralization.

28. Consistent with thisvision of GOK of bringing a new paradigm for governance and

development with emphasis on participatory approach from communities and citizens,

the vision of Karnataka GIS is aligned to enable a scientific mapping of the resources,

9“Karnataka Vision-2020” 9(http://planning.kar.nic.in/)

needs and aspirations of beneficiaries and society, especially the most disadvantaged;

support sustainable and spatial planning; assist quick and reliable monitoring of plan

implementation and status of development; enable transparent systems for inclusivity

of society and support real-time mapping of feed-back and redressal systems.

29. Notwithstanding the possession of a significant level of infrastructure, professional

capabilities and a fairly wide usage of GIS as a technology in Karnataka, the potential

of GIS has not reached to impact governance, decision-makers, citizens and society at

large. While the present GIS efforts in the state have certainly been successful to

prove GIS potential and have achieved several project objectives, GIS is yet to

become assimilated and be part of the process of state-governance, state planning and

state-building, citizen empowerment, industrial growth and as a business regime. The

capability of GIS as a Decision Support tool in making qualitative and significant

difference to decisions of government has not yet been exploited.

30. The major gaps that have been seen in the wide usage of GIS include the following.

GIS is technology centric BUT needs to be Decision-centric – thereby powering

decision-making and this means that decision-makers – government, enterprises, and

citizens should be easily making use of a readily available GIS system that can help

them to take better decisions. What is required is to make GIS “so easy to use” for the

USER that it becomes a part and parcel of a governance and nation-building process.

31. There is yet no availability of comprehensive GIS-Ready data for the whole state (and

also for the country) and no agency in the state has overall responsibility for regularly

updating and maintaining such GIS ready data assets, which at present are only

generated in a project mode in specific segments. Thus, the sustaining efforts of any

USER to prepare GIS-Ready data (which is quite an involved technical activity) and

gaining adequate insights into the ever-changing technology scene of GIS becomes

over-whelming for a USER (government user) and inhibit its wider usage.

32. GIS as project implementations serve limited operational purpose as these projects

have a shelf-life and do not get integrated into the process of governance and

decision-making – thus not providing the continuity required. GIS needs to come on

to every person‟s desk – so that just like using documentation tools or database tools


Page 14

the person can easily use GIS tools for his work relating to government, enterprise or

citizen-interface.

33. It is, therefore, essential to institutionalize the GIS activities under a state-wide

organizational focus that can create accountability and responsibility for addressing

the technological, GIS data and applications services, inter-organizational and policy

aspects of GIS. Presently, each department or user entities attempt to address on their

own the GIS activity which is quite a technology-intensive activity and requires

down-stream geo-processing and GIS knowledge for organizing the GIS. As a result,

multiple effort investments are happening in maintaining the GIS data capability by

each ministry/department and many a time same GIS-data is being

generated/maintained by each of the ministry/department. This not only leads to

duplication and redundant efforts but also tremendous state--level data inconsistency

in an unresolved manner. There is a need for a unified standards and

ORGANISATIONAL-FOCUS for generating/maintaining the map/image and GIS

data-sets as a common GIS-ready data for the state and also for developing the GIS

Applications for departments. This would eliminate the multiple efforts and can

enable ministries/departments and users to avail the GIS Decision Support that would

be tuned to each department‟s decision-process.

4 VISION OF K-GIS

34. K-GIS is a "public and merit good" - serving larger good for larger majority. K-GIS is

“mission critical” for state government, enterprise level GIS activity and should also

provide a premise for future public and private collaboration within the state in the

critical area of GIS. K-GIS is envisioned to:

34.1. serve the basic needs of and empower citizens by serving state-wide

maps/image/geo-spatial information; geo-enabling e-governance and public

services and also enabling a “crowd-sourced” interactive/participatory process

of citizen involvement in development and state-building and providing feed-

back/inputs/data as a virtual geographical ingest.

34.2. be a major support to high-quality state GOVERNANCE by embedding GIS

in different aspects of governance - planning and implementation at

national/state/local levels; bringing GIS support in decision-making; enable a

sound process of monitoring development and identifying “gaps in

development”; make GIS data available at all levels – that helps bringing

accountability and responsibility in state‟s governance.

34.3. support the accelerated development of a number of Enterprise-GIS solutions

being undertaken by private enterprise and help align these to state/national

development – by allowing integration of the K-GIS into enterprise solutions

in an appropriate manner and also contribute innovative GIS software and data

content/applications for larger and wider use.

35. K-GIS must get embedded in all aspects of Planning at state/national level;

agricultural development; support disaster management needs; water resources

management; managing climate change; planning of landuse and land records ; urban

management; planning better infrastructure facilities; development of Watersheds;

watch and scan of the Environment and empower citizens and communities for better

participation in planning and development. This will require more effective

coordination and cooperation amongst different departments of state government to

align and focus synergize the GIS data requirements and applications across the state

government sectors.


Page 16

36. K-GIS precisely address these aspects and aims at bringing a new paradigm for

development and supporting a new model of governance by providing GIS Decision

Support Systems (DSS).

37. What is being envisioned for K-GIS is two-fold – one, to establish a “K-GIS” as a

technology platform and, two, to realize an organizational focus to ensure continued

availability of GIS ready data assets and applications for decision support, in a way

easily accessible to diverse stake holders in the state‟s development and to the

citizens.

38. By establishing a K-GIS, the state would benefit in various ways:

38.1. K-GIS guiding the state in the new paradigm for governance, consistent with

the Government of Karnataka‟s vision of bringing a new paradigm for

governance and development with emphasis on participatory approach from

communities and citizens, the vision of Karnataka GIS is to enable a scientific

mapping of the resources, needs and aspirations of beneficiaries and society,

especially the most disadvantaged; support sustainable and spatial planning;

assist quick and reliable monitoring of plan implementation and status of

development; enable transparent systems for inclusivity of society and

supporting the real-time mapping of feed-back and redressal systems. Thus the

Karnataka GIS will be the under-pinning to achieve the key governance

strategy embedded in Karnataka‟s Vision 2020, which is to institutionalize

good governance across the State through enhanced transparency,

accountability and participation.

38.2. K-GIS as an accelerator of development with its underlying core relevance for

governance, business enterprises and citizens. K-GIS besides its support to

governance will be able to support and catalyze development of enterprise GIS

solutions being taken up by GIS industry and help channelizing these for the

state‟s development by permitting the integration of K-GIS to enterprise

solutions and publishing of applications developed by private enterprises on

the K-GIS platform in an appropriate manner.


Page 17

38.3. K-GIS to deliver its values of efficiency and performance enhancement

through its power of integration. K-GIS envisages to fully tap the potentials of

a statewide GIS manifesting full strengths of GIS technologies in terms of (i)

integration capabilities across multiple application disciplines, (ii) integration

over many spatial divisions in the entire state in a seamless way and at varying

scales, (iii) integration of image, map and survey data with a variety of tabular

attribute data, (iv) integration capability over different time domains, (v)

integration that enables interoperability through common standards (aligned to

National GIS standards), (vi) integration to a common frame that ensures

integrity of boundaries at various levels within the state boundary and in

relation to national boundary and (vii) ability to integrate across different

processes like inventorying, modeling behaviors, analyzing, predicting,

evaluating alternative scenarios and supporting decisions. These capabilities

are at the centre of making K-GIS applications a differentiator for enhancing

efficiency and performances.

38.4. K-GIS, by combining public and merit good objectives,pave ways for future

public private partnerships. K-GIS, being an information enabling tool and a

catalyst for process innovations in governance, business applications and

citizen services, should be initiated and guided by acts of policy and, as borne

out by global experience, should be established as a public good investment

since it is a critical infrastructure for the state, but in time, should be allowed

to grow through public private partnerships, pursuing its merit good

objectives.

38.5. K-GIS bringing synergies through coordination and standardization. K-GIS

should be assimilated into all aspects of state‟s planning at different levels and

sectors - developing agriculture and horticulture, managing water resources,

maintaining environmental and ecological balance in the face of development

activities, energy security, urban management, rural development, supporting

disaster management, watershed development, planning infrastructure and so

on. A coordinated approach to define data and applications of GIS catering to

various sectors, and following an essential set of common standards can

greatly contribute to synergy of time, investments and impact.


Page 18

38.6. K-GIS delivery strategy - relying on organizational innovation. K-GIS is

essentially conceived to bridge the gap that exists in the present system, it

therefore does not envisage to replicate the work being done by other

organizations but aims to consolidate, build upon and innovate in order to

create greater value. Hence what is needed is a clear cut organizational

responsibility and providing organizational focus for establishment and

management of the system, using the strengths of existing organizations but

revitalizing their structure.

38.7. K-GIS goal to position the state in the forefront of GIS capabilities in the

national/ international arena. Implementing a state of the art GIS system as

envisaged under K-GIS is highly challenging and would demand skills which

will be valued both in the national and international domains. Coupled with a

progressive policy environment, K-GIS should be an instrument of developing

GIS capabilities in the state to the world class level.

38.8. Multiple are the impacts of the vision of K-GIS – that can really power many

leading steps that Karnataka took in the field of social reforms, decentralized

governance, technological advancements and knowledge based initiatives. It is

indeed is a state of the art initiative in the context of strengthening knowledge

and IT enablers for the state towards realizing its vision for faster and

inclusive development.Asa new information regime, K-GISis sharply focused

towards the state‟s quest for good governance, sustainable development and

citizen empowerment.


Page 19

5 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES OF K-GIS

39. The vision for K-GIS is two-fold – one, to establish a “K-GIS” as a technology

platform and, two, to realize an organizational focus to ensure continued availability

of GIS ready data assets and applications for decision support, in a way easily

accessible to diverse stake holders in the state‟s development and to the citizens.

40. The vision outlined for K-GIS forms the basis for developing the structural, functional

and evolutionary scope of K-GIS and the detailing of objectives of its various

constituents. As the success of vision is essentially driven by policy environment, it

becomes necessary to fine tune the policy frame work in the very early stages of

establishing the K-GIS system in terms of application, access, organizational focus,

sustainability, reliability, security and incentivisation of system‟s response towards

overall developmental objectives. The vision also drives need for a strategy, which is

essential for responding to changing environment and maintaining the state‟s

capabilities and competitive edge in a global context. The delivery of outcomes is

assured through competence oriented system that combines technology, organization,

processes, standards and linkages with stake holders. These elements are critical for

ensuring outcome objectives for diverse categories of users envisaged for K-GIS.A

conceptual diagram of the flow down relationships of the K-GIS vision is depicted

below:


Page 20

5.1 ELEMENTS OF K-GIS 41. Consistent with the National GIS, six major elements of the K-GIS are envisaged – all

of which in a holistic manner will establish the state-wide GIS. The six elements are:

41.1. K-GIS Infrastructure, a state-of-art “common” state-level computing and

networking infrastructure for hosting/serving the K-GIS Asset and serving K-

GIS Applications.

41.2. K-GIS Asset, a seamless, State-wide GIS-Ready dataset which is standardized

and updated and configured to meet the GIS data and application needs of

government, citizens and enterprises.

41.3. K-GIS DSS Applications, a suite of GIS applications for decision- and work-

processes of different departments; GIS applications for public services and

citizens and also hosting/publishing enterprise GIS solutions.

41.4. K-GIS Portal, a single gateway access to K-GIS Asset and K-GIS DSS

Applications - with specialized Metadata service, GIS Applications service,

dataingest service, data sharing service, publishing services etc.

41.5. K-GIS Capacity building, a sustained effort for training and orientation of

users/professionals from government and enterprise in GIS and for positioning

an integrated programme of education and research in GIS.


Page 21

41.6. K-GIS Policy management and Practices, through a constant policy-definition

and review that promotes GIS usage in the state and creates the environment

for success of GIS activity in the state.

5.2 KARNATAKA GIS INFRASTRUCTURE

42. K-GIS Infrastructure can be described as a “GIS Platform” and the computing and

networking infrastructure for the K-GIS, integrated with the National GIS

infrastructure. The K-GIS platform could be developed, hosted and based in a suitable

place in Karnataka. As part of the K-GIS infrastructure, it is planned to position K-

GIS Dashboards for key dignitaries such as CM Office (CMO), Chief Secretary for

high-level reviews/meets etc and promote the K-GIS usage to key dignitary-levels.

43. The K-GIS infrastructure would be a bank of specialized computing facilities,

necessary GIS engine and other software, a high-capacity Data Centre, a

comprehensive User Portal and an Administration/Management Portal with

appropriate security and risk management solutions. K-GISinfrastructure must be

architectured with a long term perspective and be able to support the state GIS

activities not just for next few years but for decades ahead. The facility must be state-

of-art that will significantly add to enhance national capabilities in GIS technology

and applications.

44. In considering the architecture, the following important aspects have been considered:

44.1. The K-GIS Asset is composed of datasets generated by various agencies- and

thus could be hosted on agency systems accessible and seamlessly integrated

into the GIS Asset OR on K-GIS systems with K-GIS datasets.

44.2. The K-GIS Applications are also to meet specific governance, enterprise and

citizen demands. While governance demands would be end-to-end GIS

Applications; enterprise Applications would be those that are published and

made available by enterprises (and having a commercial nature) AND citizen

Applications would be free-to-use e-services and public GIS Applications.

44.3. In addition, it is also pragmatic for government to consider moving away from

Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) model for infrastructure, which requires each


Page 22

and every government and other organizations to make considerable and

continuous investments in GIS Data Storage/Centers/Systems to a probably

suitable Operating Expenditure (OPEX) model so that the large number of

government agencies that use K-GIS can be freed from the one time

investments and overhead costs of maintenance that is felt as a major barrier

for many government agencies and enterprises in getting benefitted from GIS

usage. The concept must be that users just USE and all other support to

ORGANISE is not a user-burden.

45. The “tight-binding” of data and applications will require a virtual-seaming of the

infrastructure across agencies/regions and users – making the concept of infrastructure

virtualization immensely important. Virtual sing a distributed architecture for K-GIS

would bring in consistency of systems, data and applications – reducing efforts at

maintaining data consistency, maintenance and also providing seamless access. The

K-GIS platform is envisaged to play a major part in addressing significant

improvement in government and enterprise and citizen GIS service delivery. The GIS

Cloud can significantly help government departments to straightaway deliver services

in easy manner and even integrate the K-GIS with other national IT systems based on

ERP, CRM and Office automation tools in the state.

46. The infrastructure could be structured as a multi-tiered platform with a front-end

having the K-GIS Portal offering various “GIS data and applications services”, a

back-end high-capacity Data Centre that stores the GIS Asset and a series of servers

architecture to maintain security and controlled access to the GIS Application

services. This would also require a high-bandwidth national, which manages the high-

capacity data traffic of the infrastructure.

47. The K-GIS Infrastructure must be developed, hosted and based in Karnataka. With

focus on services, appropriate Business Process Continuity and disaster recovery

mechanisms would have to be built-in – not only to safeguard the K-GIS Asset but to

also provide GIS Data and Application services on 24X7 basis.


Page 23

48. The K-GIS dashboard would include a set of specialized hardware, display systems

and a suite of GIS applications software. Specialized GIS Dashboard Applications

would be configured that will allow status monitoring, planning and reviews on the K-

GIS view. The GIS Dashboard Applications could pop-up various abstract-scenarios

and situational awareness and display maps (like Project Status GIS Application;

Public Asset GIS Application; Urban GIS Application; NREGA status GIS

application and many others), images and other spatial data. The K-GISDashboard

would serve maps, tables, text and applications from the K-GIS. Key datasets can be

used to show graphical views of statistics. Information can be displayed in tables,

charts and thematic maps.

49. At an appropriate time, a good architecturing, sizing and specification analysis for the

K-GIS infrastructure can be taken up – that will help the procurement and

establishment process.

5.3 KARNATAKA GIS ASSET

50. In any GIS of relevance, content is most important and core to the wide usage of the

GIS across wide spectrum of users. Nations that have widely accessible content have

seen growth in GIS usage and GIS business growth – fuelling a new enterprise of

success in the environment (examples of this are UK, USA, Japan and more recently

nations like China and Brazil are also undertaking such a nation-wide GIS activity). In

fact, the aim of National GIS is also an emphasis on GIS content

generation/maintenance.

51. The K-GIS Asset is proposed to be organized in a seamless manner at two-levels:

51.1. State-wide GIS content equivalent to 1:10,000 scale mapping (scale is the

most common form of information content referred by users; in a digital GIS

domain scale is a “misnomer” but more relevant is information content or

depth of information) and use of 5.8m/2.5m/1m IRS (or appropriate) images.

51.2. Pockets of “geo-seamed” city-level larger-scale GIS content (wherever and as

and when available) for urban areas where larger depth of information content

would be available.


Page 24

52. K-GIS Asset comprise of an organized geo-database which is integrated and linked

with K-GIS Asset. K-GIS Asset could include ~40+ GIS features for integration and a

wide range of sectoral GIS features and geo-tagged attributes/tabular data from state

departments, demographics, planning and development, infrastructure and other

sectoral datasets. It is also proposed to allow crowd-sourced geo-tagged data content

into the K- GIS as an additional “citizen-layer” where citizens can populate their

datasets/grievance-points etc on the GIS frame.

53. K-GIS must also consider, over time, incorporating historical and crucial data of the

past – especially pertaining to land records, urban areas, heritage assets etc. Necessary

technical evaluations and ensuring synergy with K-GIS asset must be defined.

54. A tentative list of K-GIS Asset is given in TABLE-2with details of content, updation

required (as most of these are of old vintage and none are updated). It is to be noted

that larger the scale of information (or, say depth of information content), the greater

will be the dynamics of information, making it challenging to keep it updated.

However, a reference time-frame for updation has been identified for the GIS Asset.

Cycles of updation of the K-GIS Asset could be organized by using satellite images

and by surveying. K-GIS Asset includes ~40+ GIS Features and a wide range of ~25+

sectoral geo-tagged attributes/tabular data from census, demographics, planning and

development, infrastructure and other sectoral datasets of departments. It is also

proposed to allow crowd-sourced geo-tagged data content into the K-GIS as an

additional “citizen-layer” where citizens can populate their datasets/grievance-points

etc on the GIS frame.


Page 25

55. As of now, except KSRSAC which has a state-wide GIS data, there is no other single

agency in Karnataka which has ready to use comprehensive GIS Asset with state-wide

coverage. Thus, building the GIS Asset will have to be taken up from the point of

available maps/data to organise the first-time GIS Asset for the country.

55.1. Many of the features, individually, would be adapted from available KSRSAC

GIS data and also adapted from data generating agencies in map form (like

SOI, GSI, FSI, NBSSLUP/Census; some may even have some GIS data for

some regions/areas – but not for whole country and in updated form). The

“maps”, even if they are in digital format, are not GIS-Ready and require

considerable process and efforts to make them GIS-ready and ingested into the

K-GIS Asset.

55.2. Considerable efforts would have to be enabled by K-GIS, with involvement of

data generating agencies, to make the GIS-Ready data for the K-GIS Asset.

This would involve appropriate map-to-GIS conversion and GIS-readying

processes to be adopted.

55.3. All the features would have to be updated to current time-frame and

maintained for K-GIS on a regular basis by positioning a systematic data-

updation cycle for K-GIS Asset.

56. While these ~40+ listings are the present list of K-GIS Asset content, it must be

planned that, in future, the content of the K-GIS Asset would be constantly

reviewed/modified and available, based on state needs and demands, and the K-GIS

Asset could get expanded. Thus, in this manner the K-GIS Asset can include any-

level of map/image/geo-tagged dataset – ALL ON ONE STATE FRAME.

57. As of now, KSRSAC has for the whole state 1:50k GIS content readily available

based on available 1:50k SOI map foundation. This can be a starting point BUT it is

important to establish a Karnataka Spatial Framework compatible for 1:10k K-GIS

Asset and base K-GIS assets on this framework. It is essential for these 2 frameworks

to be positioned immediately. It should be ensured that a Karnataka Spatial

Foundation Dataset – consisting of national/state/district/taluk boundaries linked to

Census names is available as a common and foundation base data for K-GIS.


Page 26

58. K- GIS Asset would get organized (as per the adopted National GIS Standard) by

either of these 3 methods:

58.1. Ingest available and usable digital maps of KSRSAC and sourcing additional

layers from state/central agencies (like SOI, NRSC, NBSSLUP, SLUSI, CWC,

CGWB, TCPO, Census, state departments etc); any private agencies and any

others that have already generated the map/tabular data across the state. It

needs to be ensured that these sourced data elements are made amenable to

ingest into K-GIS Asset after ensuring compliance to National GIS Standards

and in a time-bound manner. K-GIS will have to work out the

methods/procedures/QA for “ingesting” these sourced datasets into the K-GIS

Asset and could involve the private sector to undertake these voluminous

tasks.

58.2. In case of any GIS Asset element that is not generated/collected by any agency

BUT there is a state need, KSRSAC should then take up the task to initiate

surveying/mapping and initial data generation activity and ensure that such

elements are also available in the GIS Asset. In fact, KSRSAC could work

with existing agencies (government and private) and contract on them to

generate and supply these GIS data elements and ensure that such GIS data

elements are quickly made available in K-GIS.

58.3. Crowd-sourced data that is geo-tagged and available from individual citizens

as GIS-Citizen apps.

59. The K-GIS Asset must be organized as per National GIS Standards.

60. KSRSAC would have to develop and position some of these critical tools/processes:

60.1. crowd-sourcing technology on the K-GIS platform

60.2. process of real-time and semi-automated data updating of K-GIS Asset

features

60.3. process for establishing correctness/validation when GIS data ingest happens

into K-GIS Asset and certifying the veracity of information holdings in K-GIS

Asset


Page 27

60.4. It is important to have digital signatures (bio-metrics of an individual which

may be thumbs, iris, face, palm etc) embedded with geographical data –

especially for Property data where every property created, and every

modification in land parcel should be tagged and put into GIS particularly in

the vicinity of urban areas as a priority.

61. The K-GIS Asset must be available for K-GIS Applications. The GIS Asset must also

be available as a Data service to users (if they desire so) so that users could also

set/build up their own applications using the data asset.

5.4 K-GIS APPLICATIONS – GIS-DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM

(GIS-DSS)

62. A GIS Decision Support (GIS-DSS) would be the basis for serving and publishing

GIS Applications and by which users would discover and access a comprehensive set

of GIS Applications in support of their decision making purpose. The GIS-DSS

would be based on a single window GIS interface system - providing requested GIS

data and relevant applications through closely integrated, yet loosely coupled multiple

web-based decision support systems and web GIS services.

63. K-GIS must serve department needs and citizen needs and ensure that their respective

GIS DSS needs are met and available. K-GIS must also enable that enterprises can

also make available their GIS DSS on the K-GIS Infrastructure. The K-GIS DSS

would also need to be dove-tailed/integrated with the K-GIS DSS (which are more

suited for central ministries/departments). The advantage is that the same GIS

database would power the K-GIS DSS and the K-GIS DSS for states – thus bringing

tremendous synergy and commonality of data and enhancing the value of decisions,

governance, citizen participation etc (akin to the use of national census in the state‟s

planning as complement to any additional census done specifically at the state level

for details/ aspects not covered by the national census).


Page 28

5.4.1 K-GIS-DSS - GOVERNANCE

64. It is proposed that the K-GIS Asset would enable a series of specialized GIS-

Applications for governance – basically a set of GIS Applications needed by different

state departments. A very comprehensive initial assessment of GIS DSS requirements

for governance, enterprises, and citizens has been done through a process of wide

user-level consultations. In detailed consultation meetings held with departments,

private sector, academia and NGOs, state departments have defined their “GIS-

requirement inputs” indicating specific DSS requirements.

65. Based on the consultation undertaken with GOK departments, inputs have been

obtained on specific GIS data and GIS Applications for Governance, as part of their

departmental process. Such inputs have been forth-coming from some important

departments of GOK and the following details of GIS Applications defined (these can


Page 29

be modified and additional GIS DSS for governance can be added; detailed scoping of

each module is given in separate “K-GIS User Needs Assessment” report)10:

65.1. Plan-GIS for Planning Department and the State Planning Board for

supporting the planning, monitoring and reviewing plans and development and

obtaining GIS-based assessments of all investments and public assets.

Statistical modeling based on GIS toolsin K-GIS is also essential.

65.2. Rural-GIS for various rural development programmes of the Department of

Rural Development.

65.3. City-GIS service to planning, management and development of different urban

areas for Department of Urban Development and bodies like KUIDFC.

65.4. Agri-GIS service for the Department of Agriculture and Farm sector.

65.5. Support as needed for Forest-GIS which is implemented in the Department of

Forests.

65.6. Health-GIS service as part of support to the Health department.

65.7. Panchayat-GIS in support of Panchayat Raj department.

65.8. PWD Services of Road Information, bridges, wells, ground water prospect;

Information for drilling the bore wells.

65.9. Industry GIS for planning support, inputs, and cluster analysis and other

decision support.

65.10. Mine-GIS for Department of Mines and all mine leases and regulation.

65.11. Horticulture GIS for Department of Horticulture for Horticulture crops and

suitability analysis.

65.12. Transport-GIS basically meeting the GIS data and apps need of public

transport agencies – BMTC, KSRTC and others need to be made available on

K-GIS.

65.13. Animal Husbandry-GIS addressing the GIS data and apps needs of Animal

Husbandry department.

65.14. GIS for Disaster Management Support for supporting management of disaster

at state level by integrating through KSNDMC network.

65.15. Irrigation-GIS for water resources management of water resources department.

10 Karnataka-GIS: Stakeholder Consultation and User Needs Assessment Report (Draft). A KSRSAC and KJA publication of January, 2013.


Page 30

65.16. GIS for citizen services as part of e-Gov Information services and GIS data

access in various areas.

65.17. GIS for Infrastructure sector be they energy, rail systems, airport infrastructure

or other social infrastructure.

65.18. Provision for private sector GIS applications to be hosted and published on K-

GIS.

65.19. Citizen access to K-GIS would be enabled through simple GIS Applications

and integrated e-services.

66. It is envisaged that, in coming days, many other departments – say, Water Resources,

Energy, Tourism, Education, major City Administration (BBMP, MUDA etc),

Transport, Fisheries, KUIDFC etc would also define their needs for GIS DSS Apps

based on K-GIS. In the K-GIS Workshop, there was also an emphatic demand for

supporting the GIS data needs of Banking and Insurance sector – where requirement

of GIS data and apps is mainly in crops, cadastral, public assets etc as public funding

is being dealt with by banks in offering loans, advances etc and there is a scientific

need for waivers/assessments based on GIS.It would be essential to address the needs

of these GIS data and applications requirements and incorporate them in K-GIS

design.

67. Departments would have to provide for their own Sectoral GIS Asset activity that

would contain their sectoral/department GIS datasets and which would be linked to K-

GIS Asset. KSRSAC must be mandated to work with user departments so as to assess

all the GIS-Apps that are required and ensure that these GIS DSS Applications are

developed and operationally available to the users. In developing these GIS DSS, it is

envisaged that KSRSAC could utilize private sector contracting to get these

assessments and GIS DSS-Apps software developed and maintained and could,

therefore, generate standardized indenting/contracting procedures for all user related

activities for GIS Applications.

68. The GIS DSS frame work will be founded on K-GIS Asset using web based GIS and

database technologies with inherent extensibility for future growth. The framework

would have to be based on a Service Oriented Solution architecture that would:


Page 31

68.1. Enable simultaneous access of K-GIS Asset and other data sources which

could be based on diverse platforms and data formats without any data

translations or system conversions.

68.2. Provide tools for seamless integration of both spatial and geo-tagged non-

spatial features in K-GIS Asset.

68.3. Allows K-GIS DSS administrators/users to develop and deploy GIS centric

DSS using easy to use configuration and application tools. The end users will

be able to avail integrated GIS and MIS functionalities using standard web

browsers.

68.4. Provide GIS data and GIS Apps services on mobile, internet/desktop platforms

so as to be accessible in field.

68.5. Support real time Localization. The K-GIS DSS Applications frame work will

enable administrators to configure multilingual capability.

68.6. Provide ready to use tools to dynamically fetch and display Web services or

syndicated GIS feeds of disparate spatial and non spatial data from various

sources.

68.7. Enable administrators/Application developers to establish connections to

multiple non-spatial databases engines, creation and consumption of web

services for selected tabular data using advanced configurable application

enterprise suite.

68.8. Enable Database Audit to manage all data access audit configurations across

the enterprise from a central console.

68.9. Provide tools for Security Management to configure data access controls, Role

Based Access Control – and fine grained access control.

68.10. The overall SOA based solution architecture will ensure that the ownership of

the data could still remain with defined data owners. As and when new

application and additional data bases are added, they coexist with earlier

application.

68.11. Adopt a marketing approach to secure wide range of GIS Apps to be published

in K-GIS and a focused training for this approach to users would be called for.

69. TABLE-3 tentatively lists the various GIS DSS applications that have been identified as

part of the consultation process.


Page 32

5.5 K-GIS PORTAL

70. It is proposed to establish a K-GIS Portal as a national gateway for accessing all GIS

services. All K-GIS Asset access and K-GIS Application services would be through

the K-GIS Portal as a single gateway access - with detailed modules of Metadata

search, K-GIS Asset access and K-GIS Applications access. The portal could

segregate traffic of G2G and G2C/G2B access based on sign-on and log-on

procedures with multiple authentication and verification process.

71. K-GIS Applications interface would require Kannada language front-end interface

and thus language-localization technologies would be essential for GIS DSS

Applications.

72. The Portal would provide access based on a K-GIS Access/Service Policy (KGAP) –

which would outline how and what area of K-GIS government (categorized to specific

ministry area access and general government access); registered private and citizens

can access.

73. The K-GIS Portal would also seamlessly link into the National GIS Portal and allow

specific GIS services in seamless manner.

5.6 K-GIS CAPACITY-BUILDING

74. Capacity-building and training will be a very important element to make the K-GIS

widely used and also get embedded into the state‟s governing, development and

democratic processes. It is envisaged there would be a large number of professionals

in the government (both centre and states), private sector and even common citizens

who have to have customized and relevant orientation/training and outreach so as to

be “GIS literate” and for being able to adapt and use K-GIS solutions within their own

work-practices. It was noted that while the numbers may be large, the depth of

training and outreach would be broad and of user orientation-type to make the

users/professionals knowledgeable to use and practice the K-GIS solutions in their

work.


Page 33

75. With above in mind, K-GIS would have to initiate a large capacity-building

programme and could involve existing institutions (public and private) involved in

Training and Capacity-Building. It would be important to undertake a continuous

drive for Training/Orientation within government and enable a capacity-building

programme in the country that can also cover private enterprise (on commercial

terms) and citizens/academia/schools. A concerted effort for training to different

ministries and user groups needs to be taken up. KSRSAC could enable a network of

institutions, technologies (including satellite based instruction and training),

standardization of basic curriculum for training/orientation – thereby, playing the role

of a critical-agent for achieving this goal.

5.7 K-GIS POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

76. It is envisaged that a state-level policy and legislation is required for K-GIS. From the

state context, the goal for K-GIS for next 10 (or 25) years could be:

76.1. Evolving and establishing a K-GIS in next 1-3 years. Developing K-GIS as a

system to make state-wide, seamless, standardized GIS easily available,

accessible, usable and, thereby, bringing value-benefit to the nation in better

governance/development; developing GIS commerce activities and serving to

citizens g-services (GIS-enabled e-services). The K-GIS should be a state

commitment and bring measurable improvements in governance and citizen

engagement and also enable business innovations on K-GIS platform.

Ultimately promote K-GIS as a knowledge innovation for the state-good.

76.2. Mandates all departments/governance decisions to be referred/based on the K-

GIS is undertaken. This will ensure a level of accountability and integrity of

governance on scientific rationale of GIS. The aim is to make K-GIS a part

and parcel of GOK governance process and enable citizens to

contribute/access to K-GIS as a means and tool of interaction and participation

in governance.

76.3. Through the establishment of K-GIS, develop state capabilities in GIS that

will, at state and national level, contribute to the goals of improved


Page 34

governance and inclusive democracy and, at international level, position

Karnataka as a front-end destination for GIS technology.

77. In TABLE – 4, as a suggestion, we include a set of policy statements that can be

included in K-GIS Policy and Legal framework.


Page 35

6 IMPLEMENTATION OF K-GIS

78. K-GIS is an important and critical state requirement and it is recognized that, unlike a

specific project, an organizational structure will be essential for bringing focus and

institutionalizing the K-GIS and geo-spatial technology usage within government,

supporting enterprises and for citizens. Just like national census activities for the

nation is coordinated by a separate Census Organization; space activities are

coordinated under a separate Space department; energy needs of nation are

coordinated under a separate Energy ministry and so on, it is essential to have a

separate organizational structure for the state GIS needs in the form of a most modern,

highly technical, capable and suitable state entity responsible for K-GIS.There are

quite a few state government agencies in the state that have extensive GIS mandates

and capabilities developed.

79. KSRSAC has all the wherewithal to take up implementation of K-GIS – especially

based on its capabilities in surveying (using both GPS and TS); mapping using

satellite/aerial images; seamless cadastral data organization; state-wide GIS database

organization and also taking up development of various GIS applications activities.

Further, KSRSAC also has extensive outreach and networking to support a large

number of GOK departments – almost all department of GOK – RDPR, Urban,

Health, Municipal Administration, Watershed, C&I, SSLR, Revenue, Planning,

Agriculture, Horticulture etc are already availing RS and GIS services from

KSRSAC. KSRSAC also offers VTU M. Tech in RS and GIS courses – almost 70+

students have benefitted from these educational programmes. KSRSAC has also

conducted various training programmes for GOK departments in RS and GIS and

customized training programmes.

80. Apart from KSRSAC, KSCST, KSNDMC, KFD etc are some of those agencies that

have varying levels of GIS capabilities. Apart from these, the GOK Departments also

have to participate in fulsome manner – basically they would be the beneficiaries and

also their internal data has to be brought on to K-GIS Platform. The Users of K-GIS –

Government, Citizens and Enterprises are the key stake-holders of K-GIS and they

should have a voice and be able to shape the development of K-GIS and K-GIS

services.


Page 36

81. It is important to assimilate and align all these capabilities in the implementation of

K-GIS and thus make best use of state-level capability that is available. Thus, the

overall implementation of K-GIS must bring together these agencies in a mission-

matrix structure with specific and clear responsibility in K-GIS implementation.

6.1 KSRSAC: IMPLEMENTATION AGENCY

82. In the state, KSRSAC has already been identified as state‟s nodal agency for RS and

GIS activities and over the years KSRSAC has generated large amount of GIS assets

on project basis, apart from building expert human resources in GIS within the

Centre. KSRSAC has ensured that satellite images and GIS have been used from late

1980 onwards and Karnataka was one of the first states to establish a separate Centre

for Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS. Since then, use of satellite/aerial images and GIS

have proliferated in several departments such as the Karnataka Forests Department,

the Town Planning Department, Public Works Department, Rural Development and

Panchayat Raj Department, Department of Agriculture, Department of Industries and

Commerce, Department of Planning, Revenue Department & SSLR and the Urban

Development Department, besides various City Municipal Administrations and


Page 37

Authorities (for instance, the Bangalore city was one of the first cities to use RS and

GIS for urban planning whereas now many other cities like Mysore, Hubli and

Mangalore adopt GIS).

83. KSRSAC stands out as an important GIS

organizational resource for the state and

has extensive capability and expertise

built in surveying using GPS; mapping

using satellite/aerial images; largest

repository of state‟s GIS database

resources with state mapped many times

over (in different projects); seamless

cadastral village maps in GIS format;

GIS Applications development

capability (Display & Query modules; GIS App for Crime analysis, Forests, Land

Records, Watershed development, Mines Portal etc) and also intensive outreach into

and support to various departments of GOK. Some of the achievements of KSRSAC

are given below:

KSRSAC Capability 40 Natural Resource & other

GIS Layers for whole state Digital Satellite Images of multiple

dates & resolutions for whole state (56/23.5/5.8/2.5/0.61m)

Geo-Referenced Digital Cadastral Database of 30662 villages

>35000 GPS points data collection experience for different projects

Largest expert human resource base in RS & GIS


Page 38

84. It is recommended that KSRSAC is recognized/notified as NODAL AGENCY FOR

K-GIS and be MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR K-GIS

IMPLEMENTATION/OPERATIONS – that addresses all aspects of end-to-end

domain of GIS (whether it is GIS data/asset; GIS Apps; GIS Policies; GIS Training

and to establish a full-scale GIS practice in the state.

85. The apex-management of K-GIS can be addressed by KSRSAC‟s Governing Council

and Executive Committee – both of which has high-level representation and

participation of most GOK Departments.

86. GOK may establish expert standing committees to address, define and guide

KSRSAC on technical aspects – K-GIS Standards, User Needs Consultation and

Review, K-GIS Performance review/metrics assessment etc. Experts from the

state/national level, be they from government/industries/academia, may be invited for

these technical committees – so that best technical knowledge and inputs are available

to KSRSAC/K-GIS.


Page 39

6.2 KSCST AND KSNDMC: ASSOCIATE AGENCIES FOR K-GIS

IMPLEMENTATION

87. In the recent years, both KSNDMC and KSCST have acquired good capability of GIS

and have implemented good projects with GIS core.

88. Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST), implements a

centrally sponsored program called Karnataka Natural Resources Data Management

System (NRDMS) which is supported since 1992 by the Department of Science &

Technology of the Government of India. It has developed district level GIS databases

to support the process of Local Level Planning at the levels of district, taluk and Gram

Panchayats. The centers under NRDMS endeavor to provide custom applications,

value-added information, training and support to planners and administrators in

Panchayath Raj Institutions, district administration and line departments. The

Karnataka NRDMS program has been providing geospatial data and GIS services

through its district centers to users such as elected bodies, district administration and

planners. Application domains include, for example, public health and education,

environmental analysis and mapping, transportation, water quality/quantity,

watersheds, elections, disaster planning and management, administrative planning etc.

The State level Spatial Data Centre, at Bangalore, supports the district centers in

providing analyzed spatial datasets to end users to planners and administrators.

Another important development undertaken by the centre is a Geo-portal and Data

Clearing House to provide access to spatial data sets under the aegis of the Karnataka

State Spatial Data Infrastructure (KSSDI) Project. The Portal‟s service modules

include web mapping, cataloguing and metadata, web feature services, and other

simple applications.

88.1. KSCSTs experience in standardization of Metadata, data exchange and

development of GIS applications and portal development will be valuable in

the context of K-GIS and must get assimilated into the implementation. It is

recommended that KSCST be identified as Associate Agency for K-GIS with

specific responsibilities based on its capabilities.


Page 40

89. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Management Centre (KSNDMC) has excellent

application and infrastructure in the field of Disaster Management, including early

warning and mitigation aspects. KSNDMC collects weather, geological, hydrological

data on real time. KSNDMC operates a Master Control Facility, which is supported

by a network of 1600 Telemetric Rain Gauges, 200 Satellite and GPRS linked

weather stations, 13 Earthquake Monitoring Stations – all of these pumping

weather/disaster data on a continuous basis to a centralized GIS database and a web

enabled GIS Applications system with modern geo-information processing and real-

time communication/delivery systems. KSNDMC provides early warning and

weather advisory services to the community, research organizations and the

Government – even inputs are disseminated to the farming community, others

concerned with agriculture and horticulture sectors, fisherman, agencies in transport,

power and energy sectors, and the Disaster Management Authorities at the state level

as well as district level in Karnataka. KSNDMC has also carried out hazard mapping

and vulnerability studies, undertakes monitoring and impact assessment of natural

hazards and also imparts training.

89.1. The rich experience of KSNDMC in the real-time weather/disaster services

and the vulnerability analysis need to be integrated into K-GIS and thus it is

important to have the participation of KSNDMC as Associate agency with

specific responsibilities for K-GIS.

6.3 PARTNER AGENCIES: GOK DEPARTMENTS

90. Various line departments in the Government of Karnataka constitute important

stakeholders of K-GIS by driving its requirements, by participating in its top level

management, by defining needs for apps, by piloting the policies for access and

services to citizens and enterprises in their respective sectors and by contributing

spatial/non spatial data to the K-GIS assets as relevant. The departments in the state

would also benefit from the citizen participation and feedback while expanding the

programmes in their domain and also in vitalising governance.


Page 41

90.1. The GOK Departments must be notified as Partner Agencies for K-GIS

implementation and must actively play the role with specific responsibilities of

jointly partnering with KSRSAC in developing the departmental data assets

and GIS DSS.

6.4 ADVISORY ROLE OF CENTRAL AGENCIES – ISRO, SOI ETC

91. Some key central agencies – ISRO, SOI, NIC etc have active programmes of GIS in

Karnataka and these agencies have considerable expertise in the area of GIS and must

be associated in K-GIS in Advisory capacity and be involved in the review and

technical guidance of K-GIS:

91.1. ISRO/RRSC(S) has active programme of generating GIS data and apps for

many areas and users in Karnataka and also for central needs. Further, RRSC

has also implemented key projects in Karnataka for many users. ISRO also

supplies the IRS and other images which Karnataka has to procure.

91.2. SOI has topographic maps and survey data for Karnataka. SOI has to provide

the spatial framework for Karnataka.

91.3. NIC has established various GIS apps for different agencies and these could

help K-GIS.

6.5 INVOLVING PRIVATE SECTOR IN K-GIS

92. K-GIS must be founded with a strong industry linkage and must establish industrial

activities through manageable projects with private sector participation. Indian GIS

industries have considerable capacity to service K-GIS GIS needs. Industries have

been offering GIS services to various state agencies and have considerable expertise

in human resources at different levels. Thus, in the K-GIS initiative, GIS industries

would have an important opportunity – not just for hardware/software supply BUT

mainly in implementation of K-GIS Asset and K-GIS services development and

offering Enterprise services of GIS data and GIS Applications, including complying

private sector GIS data on the platform etc.


Page 42

93. The overall implementation of K-GIS must also ensure participation of industries, in a

manner that they can enhance value generated through the system. Thus their

participation may range from publishing and offering Apps from K-GIS platform to

preparation/ updating of GIS assets to becoming source for various infrastructure

elements.

6.6 INVOLVEMENT OF STATE ACADEMIA/NGOS IN K-GIS

94. Linkage with academia assumes importance from the view point of the need for

researching in the GIS domain to make it more productive and more widely used.

NGO‟s can play important role in assessment of impacts of the system and in capacity

building particularly among communities.

95. K-GIS must link with state academia/universities to further specific research in the

GIS domain that will make K-GIS more productive and more widely used. Research

in areas of GIS Policies, GIS Applications, Social relevance and assessments, local-

area needs, technology impact, K-GIS structure effectiveness and other areas need to

be addressed as university projects. Results of research would feed into constant

improvements in K-GIS system.

96. As a long-term strategy for K-GIS, it will be important that GOK Education

Department, along with KKC, KSRSAC and other academic agencies, to define and

undertake specific project-oriented activities for:

96.1. introducing GIS at state‟s school-level to „ignite the first spark‟ so that school

students are fully exposed to modern GIS resources.

96.2. at university level in state to build „GI knowledge and research capacity‟ so

that state universities include GIS in their graduate/post-graduate curriculum

and also undertake some advanced research in GIS.

96.3. training and outreach of GOK officials to „make professionals up-to-date in

GIS‟ so that most GOK state officers are oriented and trained on K-GIS usage

and can also continuously define their specific needs.


Page 43

97. K-GIS will have implications on society and social development – especially it would

be important that this “resource” is equitably available to all regions in the state.

Further, the social aspects of GIS assimilation must bring empowerment of society. It

would be important to measure these impacts and document the social benefits (and

gaps) that accrue from K-GIS and also as its performance. GOK should encourage

and develop such research and educational studies involving social institutions, social

science experts and universities/academia. Benefit of K-GIS in decision-making and

governance needs to be measured and quantified. This would justify the investments

made and bring learning for further activities. GOK should encourage and develop

such innovative social audit processes (cost-to-benefit) studies with involvement of

good/professional NGOs, financial institutions, finance experts and

universities/academia.

6.7 MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE PROPOSED FOR K-GIS

98. A high-level standingadvisory/technical body for K-GIS in the form of a Karnataka

GIS Advisory Board (K-GIS AB) is essential to provide overall technology and policy

direction, advice/guide, review overall implementation, review performance and

recommend any mid-course corrections – including improvements and fine-tuning of

K-GIS and also function as the think tank for GIS in the state. K-GIS ABcould be

Chaired by an eminent and renowned personality related to GIS/scientific field and

include Chief Secretary, representatives of ISRO/SOI/NIC, key GIS experts,

academicians, industry experts, and others, as deemed fit by GOK. K-GIS AB would

make recommendations that would be considered by KSRSAC or High Power

Governing Council (HPGC) depending upon the nature of recommendations for

implementation. K-GIS AB could have Director, KSRSAC as Member-Secretary. K-

GIS AB could be constituted by GOK and be serviced by KSRSAC.

99. For execution and monitoring of K-GIS a K-GIS High Power Governing Council

(HPGC) is recommended with Chief Secretary, GOK as Chairman and Membership

of Principal Secretaries of key Departments - Finance, Urban Development, RDPR,

Planning, Water Resources, Revenue, Environment and Forests, Agriculture,

Transport, PWD, and others. Principal Secretary, IT/BT (parent department of


Page 44

KSRSAC) or Director, KSRSAC could be the Member-Secretary of HPGC. The main

tasks of HPGC would be to ensure/oversee the implementation of K-GIS, address

cross-cutting departmental issues for K-GIS, ensure that Departments provide their

data holdings to K-GIS Asset and use K-GIS Applications, evolve concepts for

dovetailing and aligning K-GIS with National GIS. K-GIS HPGC may be constituted

by GOK.

100. IT/BT department may establish necessary technical committees for K-GIS Standards

etc that may address specific topics or even conduct detailed technical reviews, as

required.

101. The broad management structure of K-GIS is shown below:


Page 45

7 BENEFITS OF K-GIS

102. K-GIS, aligned with the standards and resources of National GIS, can bring immense

benefit to the state of Karnataka. K-GIS would integrate and build and align into

National GIS – thus, if each state had a State-GIS (on the same lines as K-GIS), it

would not only be able to support state-level governance and state level citizen

participation but also in building a knowledge network based on use of GIS tools.

103. K-GIS would not only serve the purpose of being a major part of the National GIS but

would also bring in the state:

103.1. Improved efficiency of decision-making, planning and development actions by

the powerful GIS DSS Applications engine that would allow

ministries/departments, citizens etc embed GIS applications as part of their

decision- and work-processes. Therefore, GOK departments can deploy

sectoral (say, Agri-GIS; Rural-GIS and so on) GIS-DSS easily. Ready

availability, accessibility and service of a GIS-Asset for the whole state as a

collection of standardized, inter-operable, seamless and updated GIS datasets;

103.2. Improved planning on a GIS DSS applications suite supporting state Planning

and Plan Monitoring functions and Public Assets monitoring and investment

assessment using GIS;

103.3. Serve unique e-services on the GIS platform for citizens as part of Citizen-

services;

103.4. Availability of state/national (Indian) Standards for K- GIS datasets, Standards

for GIS web services, Standards for GIS data exchange, Standards for GIS

Quality, Standards for GIS Metadata and others;

103.5. Position "volunteered geographic information" through crowd-sourcing

transactional workflows that allow citizens/individuals to easily add GIS

content to the K-GIS Asset;

103.6. Growth to private sector participation in GIS activities by offering efficient

GIS Applications as an all-inclusive support to development activities;

103.7. Position Karnataka in a leading role in national/international GIS arena and

enabling a larger role-playing by the state in this critical technology arena in

the world.


Page 46

7.1 HOW GOK WILL BENEFIT

104. The many GOK benefits of K-GIS are as follows:

104.1. Create one “common” state-wide GIS that would be used by one and all.

Reduce redundancy and repetitive GIS information generation leading to in-

consistency.

104.2. Enhance efficiency of governance, decision-making, planning and

development actions on the Karnataka GIS DSS Applications engine that

would enable GOK departments, citizens etc to embed GIS applications as

part of their decision- and work-processes.

104.3. Ready availability, accessibility and data-service of a GIS-Asset for the whole

state as a collection of standardized, inter-operable, seamless and maintained

GIS datasets.

104.4. Impetus to private sector participation in GIS activities by offering efficient

GIS Applications as an all-inclusive support to state governance and

development activities.

104.5. First and major contribution to National GIS.

104.6. Position Karnataka in a leading role to host National GIS in Karnataka and

enable GOK to play a larger role in this critical technology arena in the

country.

7.2 HOW CITIZENS WILL BENEFIT

105. Citizens will be great beneficiaries of K-GISare as follows:

105.1. Bring transparency, citizen participation and performance evaluation of state

projects on GIS DSS applications suite – strengthening state Planning and

Project Monitoring functions of GOK

105.2. Position "volunteered geographic information" through crowd-sourcing

transactional workflows that allow citizens/individuals to easily add GIS

content to the Karnataka GIS Asset


Page 47

105.3. Allow GIS to become a part of knowledge activity – involving universities,

youth and experts to create a unique “knowledge base”

7.3 HOW ENTERPRISES WILL BENEFIT

106. K-GIS will help and bring value to enterprises and businesses:

106.1. When industries undertake development activities or their business activities,

they will have the advantage to access authoritative and validated GIS data

that will help them in planning, land acquisition and many other activities.

106.2. Enable private sector to offer commercial GIS applications services based on

K-GIS and provide a fillip to industrial activity in GIS.

106.3. Possible development of newer, unique and innovative GIS

products/solutions/applications – hitherto still un-envisaged/un-available and

that can become a reality when K-GIS will benefit from the addition of

innovation in practice/project management/marketing/

development/knowledge-capability of industries.

106.4. Partake and associate with KSRSAC for implementation support of K-GIS as

much of the human resources/capability can be sourced from industries.

7.4 HOW ACADEMIA/NGOS WILL BENEFIT

107. K-GIS will give a great thrust to GIS education and academia in the state by :

107.1. Bringing university/educational institutions actively involved in K-GIS

development – especially in undertaking research, analysis and evaluations

and also case studies that will further the knowledge activities in GIS in state.

107.2. Provide opportunities for involvement of school/university students in K-GIS

activities – thereby giving them an unique opportunity to be knowledgeable

and in forefront of this arena.

107.3. Create a next-generation of professional that can take on more advanced and

beneficial activities in K-GIS in future.


Page 48

108. K-GIS can also involve NGOs and social organizations in unique performance

evaluation, social impact assessment and audit activities – that are critical and

important for reviews/mid-course corrections and improvements in K-GIS

concept/implementation/applications/benefits etc. Even ROI analysis can help GOK

to make a measure of the success and impact of GOK and help in planning future

activities of K-GIS.


Page 49

8 K-GIS STANDARDS

109. Standardization and Process definition would be key for the success of K-GIS and the

scope of K-GIS Standards and Processes needs to be all encompassing BUT aligned

to National GIS Standard. In the context of K-GIS, a STANDARD is a specific

statement/document of the definitions, parameters and values, schema and any other

constraints governing the naming, contents, quality of content, operations of software

and hardware, service definitions etc for K-GIS and a PROCESS is a set of sequential

steps and actions that would define an activity.

110. K-GIS would, in fact, be built further down from the suite of national Standards –

broadly two categories of Standards, namely:

110.1. Basic GIS Standards for K- GIS and its activities - defining the content and its

characteristics of K-GIS Asset; GIS database standards for the K-GIS

database, GIS Quality Standards – defining quality parameters and ranges for

compliance to National GIS; GIS Metadata Standards – defining the Metadata

for the K-GIS Asset; GIS Compliance Standards for data ingest into K-GIS;

GIS Application Service Standards

110.2. Service Level Integration Standards - the success of K-GIS is also dependent

on the integration of GIS services to other national services, database and

applications (like E-Governance; ERP, CRM etc.,) and thus the K-GIS

Standard must also be so designed that it can easily have a 2-way integration

with other IT Services/ERP/CRM/data systems that may be in use in India

(especially in government departments).

111. The K-GIS Standards must be founded on principles of “National GIS” which are

“open standards” and be “inter-operable” across platforms and systems and be totally

neutral to any technology (thus, not being tied with any particular GIS or System

technology).


Page 50

112. As a state system, the possibility of an integration (if the need arises and is warranted

by government) of an appropriate sub-set of the K-GIS to National GIS is critically

essential. It is important to consider this in advance at design stage.

113. The K-GIS Standards must be compliant with National GIS Standards fully and also

be based upon international ISO TC211 standardization efforts – especially as India is

already committed to ISO/TC standardization efforts through the Bureau of Indian

Standards (ISO is a multi-lateral body for standardization and India is represented by

BIS).

114. The K-GIS Standards documents must be made easily accessible to one-and-all and

enable a seamless, updated and easy-to-understand GIS data is available in the state.

115. The Standardization activities must adopt core “change management” processes to

undertake any changes and modifications to the K-GIS Standards – with rigorous

testing and compliance and certification procedures.

116. Existing GIS Standards like NNRMS Standard of 200511, NSDI Metadata Standards

of 200112/200913 and NSDI Exchange Standards of 2001; NUIS Standards of 200414

have been studied and can be easily updated/enhanced and integrated into K-GIS

Standards.

117. Thus, while a broad definition of Standards and Processes are envisioned, at the time

of implementation, KSRSAC could first define following standards and processes

(apart from any others that may be required:

117.1. K-GIS Content Standard: This Standard would define the content standards for

K-GIS Asset – identifying what feature would form part of the K-GIS and

from where it would be sourced/generated. 11NNRMS Standards. A National Standard for EO Images, thematic maps, GIS databases and outputs.

Page 51

117.2. Karnataka State Spatial Framework (KSF), as a subset of National Spatial

Foundation (NSF), definition with a core standard layer of state/international

boundary (with states, districts and other major features) as a core Geospatial

dataset with appropriate datum/projections defined – which can be made freely

available and accessible for all GIS activities in the country. The KSF, initially

is to be defined equivalent to 1:50k SOI Open Series Maps (with the available

geodetic framework) and also later for 1:10k K-GIS Asset (as and when the

next depth of geodetic framework is available) requirement.

117.3. K-GIS Database Standard – defining the spatial database design parameters –

these can be adapted from NNRMS, 2005 Standards. The schema and

parameter details can be appropriately updated by INGO by also referring to

other GIS Standards – GSDI, ISO-TC211, OGC etc.

117.4. K-GIS Quality Standards – adapted from NNRMS, 2005 Standard. The

schema and parameter details can be appropriately updated by INGO by also

referring to other GIS Standards – GSDI, ISO-TC211, OGC etc.

117.5. K-GIS Metadata Standard – adapted from NSDI, 2003/2008 Standard. The

schema and parameter details can be appropriately updated by INGO by also

referring to other GIS Standards – GSDI, ISO-TC211, OGC etc.

117.6. It would be important to have a K-GIS Content Thesaurus – that defines the

class-categories and enables a common understanding and also links the

categories to the purpose and use of the classification system.

117.7. K-GIS Applications and Services Standard.

117.8. K-GIS Portal Security Standard.

118. KSRSAC, at the time of implementation and based on design decisions, must also

develop different GIS Process Documents that define the steps and methods for

various activities, including:

118.1. K-GIS Process document on GIS Asset creation

118.2. K-GIS Process document on Ingest of External GIS Content

118.3. K-GIS Process document on GIS Asset maintenance

118.4. K-GIS Process document on GIS Apps services publishing

118.5. K-GIS Process document on GIS Access

118.6. K-GIS Performance measure Process

118.7. K-GIS Process document for Revision/Updation of Standards

118.8. K-GIS Infrastructure Access Protocols

118.9. K-GIS Infrastructure Security Protocols

118.10.K-GIS Data Providers License Agreement

118.11.K-GIS Service Level Agreements protocols

119. Considering the importance and criticality of the K-GIS Standards and also noting the

continuously evolving nature of the technology, it would be appropriate to have a

Expert Standing Committee for K-GIS Standards – consisting of technical experts in

the state/nation. Such a formal national-level technical standing committee can be

tasked to help KSRSAC define, develop, review, update the K-GIS Standards and

ensure its alignment with National GIS.

120. KSRSAC needs to take all steps to promote, encourage and generate/organize these

GIS Standards, KSF and GIS Process documents and also encourage for using these

to be able to integrate into the common platform of the K-GIS. All state

government/enterprise and other private agencies need to comply with these standards

and KSF so that practices within their own processes will be able to contribute to and

benefit from K-GIS.


Page 53

9 SCHEDULE

121. Implementation of Karnataka-GIS could be undertaken through following steps:

121.1. A Preparatory phase (4 months) for drawing up vision document that will

establish basic rationale, objectives, environmental analysis, scope,

constitution, outcome and realization approach for K-GIS. This effort is

interweaved through consultation and discussion with GOK departments,

citizen consultation and also industry/academia consultation for determining

the scope/depth of GIS DSS Application needs (within the time-frame of the

Mission) and for designing the GIS DSS and preparing a blue print for K-GIS

platform. Another important activity for this phase is defining the approach for

standards. While basic foundation for K-GISwould be based on National GIS

Standards. This phase culminates with necessary approvals for the

establishment of K-GIS upon a proposal based on above preparatory work.

121.2. An initial version (Ver. 1.0) K-GIS is planned (involving 6-9 months time-

frame from the date of approvals) based on available maps/images of

KSRSAC – mainly latest satellite images that are available with KSRSAC or

sourced from NRSC; assimilating identified features from available

1:50k/larger-scale (which are of 2005 vintage, as of now) GIS maps of


Page 54

KSRSAC; sourcing available GIS data which are available in few state

agencies; sourcing sectoral data of state departments/ministries and sourcing

Points of Interest (POI) data for Karnataka. Obtaining of sectoral and MIS

related data (preferably in GIS-Ready mode) from various departments will be

coordinated by a focal Nodal Officer identified by the departments during

consultation process. As many departments as practical would be covered for

inclusion of sectoral data for K-GIS version 1.0 and for making DSS

applications operational.

121.3. The Final Version (Ver2.0)K-GIS would needabout 18-24 months time-frame.

The activities that include but not limited to - building upon K-GIS Version

1.0 by translating to 1:10k NSF (which has to be freshly done based on SOI

framework); establishing/updating to 1:10k National GIS Asset for whole state

for 2012 date; develop and position full-scale K-GIS Apps for governance,

full-scale access to private GIS Applications and also K-GIS Applications for

citizen access; continue GIS capacity-building activities; continuity of services

of K-GIS

122. Subsequent to this, the updation/maintenance cycle of K-GIS Asset layers on a yearly

basis (or determined cyclic basis) and further support for K-GIS Applications would

have to be taken up.


Page 55

10 FUNDING PRINCIPLES FOR K-GIS

123. In an initial and tentative estimate, the K-GIS would have to be supported over a 3-

years period and, subsequently, an annual recurring expense for K-GIS (and

maintenance of K-GIS Asset and K-GIS Apps) also need to be covered.

124. It is envisaged that Government of Karnataka funding for the establishment of the K-

GIS is a must – especially as it is the founding responsibility of GOK to establish the

basic GIS infrastructure that helps the state, as a whole. This first step of the GOK

will bring confidence for proper development and usage of GIS technology and its

benefits and also for any subsequent private investment model for this activity – just

as it happened in any other sector (telecom, roads, aviation, railways etc – in most of

these sectors the business sector grew only when the founding investments for the

infrastructure had already been made by government and provided the “platform” and

standardization for a business model to develop). This model has also been

recommended for National GIS.

125. Thus, the funds for establishing KGIS would have to be committed by GOK. At a

later stage, a limitedbusiness model could become viable when the basic GIS

infrastructure is established and it will be possible to attract private sector investment

for the following activities:

125.1. Revenue from licensed-sale of K-GIS Asset and K-GIS Applications: After 3

years, K-GIS could consider to generate revenue by the licensed-sale of the K-

GIS Asset data and licensed-access of K-GIS Applications from appropriate

categories of users.

125.2. Building and Serving K-GIS Applications Service through B2B and B2C

applications. Private revenue in K-GIS Applications service could increase

tremendously. K-GIS Applications can expand into much newer governance,

enterprise areas with pay-per-use or fixed cost models built-in for the service.

REFERENCES/DISCUSSIONS In preparing the K-GIS Vision document, the K-GIS Task Force and KSRSAC has founded

its envisioning on the National GIS Document. K-GIS Task Force and KSRSAChasalso

referred to a variety of Indian and international documentation on GIS and its applications –

some of these have been also very useful in designing the concept and plan for K-GIS.

K-GIS Task Force and KSRSAC have also referred to a host of internal programmatic

assessments and internal documentation that have given insights to how some of the past

programmes have evolved and these have been useful in addressing any gap and further

evolve the concept of K-GIS. Of particular references are those that have been generated by

National GIS, GSDI, Indian NSDI, NNRMS, reports by NIC, GSI, FSI, Gujarat-GIS reports

and inputs from other private sources and media. These have all helped in a proper

understanding of the issues related to GIS.

Of great help and value have been extensive and intensive inputs provided through a series of

discussions by the Members of the Karnataka Jnana Aayoga - specifically valuable inputs

have been obtained from Dr. K. Kasturirangan. The visioning exercise has also got

considerable inputs and suggestions from Shri. S. V. Ranganath, Chief Secretary, GOK and

Shri ISN Prasad, Principal Secretary (IT/BT), GOK and many other members of KSRSAC

Governing Council and Executive Committee.Detailed consultation with Principal

Secretaries/Secretaries/Commissioners of GOK – Dr. Amita Prasad; Shri.Vidyashankar; Dr.

Shankarlinge Gowda; Ms. Anita Kaul;Shri.Bharat Lal Meena; Dr. E. V. Ramana Reddy; Ms.

Latha Krishna Rao; Shri. E. Venkatiah; Shri. R.Sridharan; Shri.Nagaraja Hampole;

Shri.Sadashiva Reddy B. Patil; Shri.Tushar Girinath; Shri. V. Ponnuraj; Shri.Harsh Gupta;

Shri.Ravi Shankar; Shri.G. N. Naik; Shri.Ayyappa; Shri.Betsurmath; Shri.K. Shivaram;

Shri.Anjum Parvez; Ms.VRashmi; Shri.Manish Mudgil; Shri.Rajiv Ranjan; Shri. A. K.

Verma; Shri.Kanwar Pal; Shri. S. Satishhave helped considerably in shaping this vision.

In a Workshop held on January 23, 2013, a final round of consultation and discussion was

held on K-GIS Vision and important feedback/inputs obtained from GOK agencies,

industries, and academia/NGOs. The Vision document is finalized after this Workshop - thus,

the Vision is inclusive of the broad-based wide consultation amongst government,


Page 58

enterprises, academia and NGOs (proceedings included in this report). All the 225+

participants of the Workshop are thankfully acknowledged for their inputs/feedback.

The secretarial and administrative staff of Karnataka Jnana Aayoga and KSRSAC deserves

special mention – they supported and made possible the large amount of

documentation/materials that have been organized.

The K-GIS Task Force and KSRSAC now feel, that as a state endeavor, the envisioning

exercise has enriched the internal state capability in GIS …………………… Today,

Karnataka is much more ready and prepared to implement Karnataka-GIS.

TABLE – 4: TENETS SUGGESTED FOR K-GIS POLICY & LEGAL

FRAMEWORK

1. In the newer paradigm of Governance which aims at transparency and inclusivity, Karnataka state adopt GIS: for spatial planning, area-based development assessment, spatial assessment of

disparity and gaps, goal-based performance monitoring – all of which will bring focus on scientific and rational developments in various sectors, viz. agriculture, infrastructure, rural development, urban areas, health, education, industries development etc.

for engaging and involving citizens in the process of state‟s development.

2. GOK must warrant all state departments to base their decisions/governance activities on the K-GIS, in an appropriate manner, to bring a scientific rationale to governance and must promote and encourage state planning/fund allocation/monitoring/reviews to be based on use of K-GIS DSS applications.

3. IT/BT Department be the nodal department for K-GIS and its subordinate office of KSRSAC be responsible for the development and growth of the K-GIS so that a systematic and coordinated development of K-GIS is ensured. In developing K-GIS, IT/BT Department may also ensure that capabilities available with KSNDMC and KSCST and other GOK agencies be “pooled” and integrated – apart from involving private sector agencies and academia.

IT/BT Department may ensure proper enablement and technical empowerment

of KSRSAC to undertake the K-GIS activity with a proper organisational/project management structure, human resources and technical and financial support so that K-GIS becomes a sustained and long-term continuous activity (as against a one-time project, in which case K-GIS would not be a success). KSRSAC of IT/BT Department must immediately work on and come out with an K-GIS Implementation Action Plan.

4. K-GIS must be dove-tailed and well-integrated with National-GIS being established by Government of India so that K-GIS complements and adds to the national capability available through National GIS.

5. K-GIS Technical standards and Protocols be developed by KSRSAC that will allow easy access, guidelines for surveying, mapping, GIS database organisation, ingest of GI to GIS Asset, publishing GIS applications on K-GIS DSS service, sharing of GI and credits/value for GI and applications and any other related procedures required for GI generation, sharing and usage in the larger context of K-GIS. These standards,


Page 90

procedures and protocols should enable government, private and individuals to “contribute” to GIS Asset and provide GIS applications services.

6. As a state-level GIS service, KSRSAC (in collaboration with the Survey of India) will ensure development and availability of a open and freely available Karnataka State Spatial Foundation Dataset (consisting of the spatial framework of the state, adjusted within national framework, with national/state/district boundaries, major roads, major cities and other broad features) as a K-GIS Template. This template can be used by any user to build GI and participate in K-GIS.

7. GOK must encourage, promote and position a high-quality industrial GI capability so that, over time, private sector can be licensed specific tasks and roles of K-GIS and by way of which KSRSAC can minimize its resources deployment in K-GIS and GIS industries could contribute in a large manner to operations and services of K-GIS.

8. As a long-term strategy for K-GIS, it will be important that GOK Education Department, along with KKC, KSRSAC and other academic agencies, to define and undertake specific project-oriented activities for:

Introducing GIS at state‟s school-level to „ignite the first spark‟ so that school

students are fully exposed to modern GIS resources. at university level in state to build „GI knowledge and research capacity‟ so

that state universities include GIS in their graduate/post-graduate curriculum and also undertake some advanced research in GIS.

training and outreach of GOK officials to „make professionals up-to-date in GIS‟ so that most GOK state officers are oriented and trained on K-GIS usage and can also continuously define their specific needs.

9. K-GIS will have implications on society and social development – especially it would

be important that this “resource” is equitably available to all regions in the state. Further, the social aspects of GI assimilation must bring empowerment of society. It would be important to measure these impacts and document the social benefits (and gaps) that accrue from K-GIS and also as its performance. GOK should encourage and develop such research and educational studies involving social institutions, social science experts and universities/academia.

10. Benefit of K-GIS in decision-making and governance needs to be measured and quantified. This would justify the investments made and bring learning for further activities. GOK should encourage and develop such research and financial (cost-to-benefit) studies with involvement of financial institutions, finance experts and universities/academia.


Page 91

11. Government must give prominence to GIS activities and to give it a primary position is essential. TF-GIS noted that recognition of experts that have worked in GIS is one way of providing motivation and also brings excellence and importance to GIS. With large number of GIS experts/professionals in state and very good projects undertaken in state, such efforts have gone un-recognized. It is important to recognize our GIS experts and for this a suitable State GIS Award mechanism be instituted by GOK. The recognition must include University Students/Professors, Professional/Government agencies, state industries and GIS projects that have been done in Karnataka.

12. K-GIS activities and performance should be reviewed every year through an inclusive mechanism involving government, enterprises, academia, citizens and obtaining feedback and inputs. Based on these, the policy changes would be recommended for adoption. KSRSAC could coordinate this review/change process.

KARNATAKA STATE REMOTE SENSING APPLICATIONS CENTRE Department of IT, BT and S&T, GoK

& KARNATAKA JNANA AAYOGA,

Government of Karnataka

Proceedings of Workshop on Karnataka GIS Vision and User needs 1. A one day workshop on Karnataka GIS was organized by the Karnataka State Remote

Sensing Applications Centre and Karnataka Jnana Aayoga (KJA) at Bengaluru on January 23, 2013 to consider the draft Vision and User Needs for K-GIS prepared in consultation with key GOK departments and key experts in the state/nation. The objective of the workshop was to provide a wide forum for a broad-based consultation amongst government, enterprises, academia and NGOs for the new initiative.

2. Over 220 participants from diverse groups of agencies representing implementation

roles, partnership in the government, technology providers, industry, research community, thought leaders, policy makers and users participated in the conference. The list of participants is included in ANNEXURE-I. The workshop‟s programme included an inaugural session followed by two sessions dedicated for K-GIS vision and K-GIS implementation, and culminated by a high level panel discussion on the way forward. The detailed programme is in ANNEXURE-II.

3. At the inaugural session:

3.1.1. The participants and dignitaries were welcomed by Dr M K Sridhar, Member

Secretary and Executive Director of KJA. Dr. Sridhar while touching upon the multifarious initiatives catalyzed by the KJA in the context of rising needs, aspirations and enhanced potential of the people of the state, underscored the role of KGIS as an enabler for meeting the challenges of development. He also commended the efforts of the Taskforce in guiding this effort.

3.1.2. The workshop was inaugurated by Dr. Shailesh Nayak, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences, GOI, and the Chairman of the Interim Core Group set up by the Planning Commission on National GIS. He elaborated the expanding roles of modern GIS technologies in various spheres of economic and social development. Briefing on the National GIS visioning exercise that he steered, he foresaw that GIS based decision making will become a norm in the country. He illustrated clear benefits of such an information system in various sectors if it is made the foundation of informed governance which is decision-centric rather than data- or technology-centric.

3.1.3. Shri. S V Ranganath, the Chief Secretary to the Govt. of Karnataka released

the Draft Vision and User Needs Reports and addressed the participants. While highlighting the critical role of Karnataka GIS to the state‟s planning and development process, he emphasized the commitment of the government to support KGIS initiative to serve as an important tool to support governance and particularly to empower people of the state. He richly complimented the


Page 98

extensive work of the KJA chaired by Dr. Kasturirangan and its lead in making far reaching contributions to the state.

4. In his keynote address, Dr. Mukund K Rao, Member, Karnataka Jnana Aayoga and

chairman of the Aayoga‟s Task force on K-GIS, elaborated the critical need for a new and effective information regime if the long term vision set for Karnataka is to be realized. Highlighting the characteristics of such a regime, he illustrated how a state wide GIS system, dovetailed to National GIS, is an important component of it. He further elaborated what really constitutes KGIS and how it is to be focused on real needs of users for decision support. He also outlined the strategy and policy dimensions for realizing it at the earliest and leveraging it for elevating the GIS capabilities in the state both within and outside the government.

5. The session on KGIS Vision, was chaired by Shri. K Amarnarayan, IAS, Secretary to the GOK in the department of Commerce and Industry and Dr. P P Nageswara Rao, Programme Coordinator of International Geosphere Biosphere Programme at the Department of Space, GOI. The session included presentations by Dr. D K .Prabhuraj, Director, KSRSAC who made comprehensive presentation on KSRSAC‟s strengths, assets, and resources and the KGIS implementation preparedness. Dr S Vadivelu, Consultant, described the process followed to determine GIS data and application needs. An impact making presentation by Dr TP Singh on the experience of GIS development and its diverse spectrum of applications in Gujarat was a powerful message to participants that user oriented and user friendly system is the key to success. The session chair Shri. Amarnarayan provided some insights on practical applications of KGIS. In the context of KGIS, a suggestion was made by the co chair Dr. P. P. Nageswara Rao that it augurs well for it to associate with the Regional Remote Sensing Centre (South) under NRSC as it can be a good source for GIS ready data and also its association could be useful in program evaluation. A point was also made on the need for specifying applicable data quality standards to guide users in their applications. Key message of the session was that vision for KGIS was realizable and it is driven by the practical needs.

6. The session on KGIS implementation was chaired by Dr. C. S. Kedar IAS, Chairman of KUIDFC and Shri. G. Satish, IFS, CCF and Additional Project Director, Sujala Watershed, WDD. At the outset, Dr. Kedar emphasized how lack of availability of readily usable data in a timely manner had been one of the limiting factors for decision makers. Secondly, he emphasized the urgency to start the initiative by focusing on priority areas. As an example, he mentioned that it is important to have digital signatures of every property created, and every modification in land parcel should be tagged and put into GIS particularly in the vicinity of urban areas as a priority. The presentations at this session included that on KGIS data needs by Dr. B P Lakshmikantha, Scientist, KSRSAC, on KGIS applications by Dr. S Vadivelu, on Organizational frame by Prof K. R. Sridhara Murthi, Consultant, KSRSAC and Adjunct faculty at NIAS and Jain University, and on capabilities of KSNDMC and KSCST that are relevant for KGIS presented were by Dr. V S Prakash and Dr. M Prithviraj, the respective Directors of these two bodies. Shri. Satish, co-chair of the session emphasized that need of the day is take GIS to people and make it sustainable at Panchayat level and that a large volume of data available at K-GIS should be made useful and available to people at all levels. Key message that came out of deliberations was that the Apps developed should be people-friendly not


Page 99

merely officer-friendly. It was pointed out in this context that the terminology beneficiary should be replaced by client.

7. A high level panel deliberated on certain key issues, in participation with the audience. The Panel included Shri. ISN Prasad, IAS, Principal Secretary, IT, BT and S&T, GOK, and Chairman, KSRSAC, Dr. Mukund K Rao, Shri. Anjum Parwez, IAS, Managing Director, BMTC, Dr. P. P. Nageswara Rao, Dr. Kedar, IAS, and Dr. S. Sadagopan, Director, IIIT, Bangalore. As introduction, the following points were made by the Panel members:

7.1. K-GIS is the need of the hour and is an innovative knowledge oriented activity

that has been envisioned. K-GIS will require the participation of government, industries, academia and NGO, and the focus is to be on government and citizens access to GIS data and services.

7.2. K-GIS is conceived as a multi-organizational effort, with collaborative strategy. The data asset will be GIS ready, updated, standardized and seamless for the entire state. The purpose of workshop was to ensure that it is relevant to users and users needed it.KJA recommended that the data to be made open, then only value for that data.

7.3. KGIS should be organized along platform concept. As platform provider, government should own core data, in view of security and other considerations.

7.4. K-GIS must enable GIS API‟s to be published and accessed by users.

7.5. There are practically many areas which need and which can benefit from KGIS (Transport, Health etc.,). KGIS can help avoid duplication in data preparations.

7.6. Resources generated from earlier projects should be made use of. (APIB, Sericulture information system examples were given) Data available should be thoroughly scrutinized and screened before putting into K-GIS. Open Source GIS should be taken advantage of. K-GIS should have both English and Kannada content as farming community could have better access. High end research regarding object recognition and automated change detection from image and other forms of data needs to be taken up by academic institutions.

7.7. Regular updating of the dynamic information is of essence to KGIS. Feasibility for applications involving auto reading of images that can give alerts like incidence of pests and diseases etc. should be explored. Updating the data on parcels/survey numbers as and when changes take place and geo tagging of each property (urban/rural) is a priority need. This is important and crucial specially for urban and peripheries of urban areas.

7.8. Standardization is a key feature of KGIS that will facilitate inter operability, quality, reliability, better access, economy and integration.


Page 100

8. There were focused discussion on identified key issues among panel members and participants. High lights of points made under each topic are summarized as follows:

Vision to Reality: What are the key actions required?

8.1. Way forward is to move immediately for implementing K-GIS, organize and

use all available GIS data into seamless state frame and meet again in three months to review the steps. The vision and user need documents are to be fine-tuned considering suggestions from the workshop. KGIS implementation should be undertaken over a three year term. Long term commitment of the government is the key for successful implementation of KGIS.

8.2. Quality aspects of data need to be taken care by a mechanism such as a small committee. Open source GIS could be considered for the GIS engine. As a priority activity for KGIS, it is important to have digital signatures of every property created, and every modification in land parcel should be tagged and put into GIS particularly in the vicinity of urban areas as a priority. It is important to have marketing approach for the applications and also provide training to users. Consultation process should include banking and financing institutions.

Present user difficulties of GIS

8.3. Ground water being a vital and depleting resource for agriculture, it is

necessary to update ground water information more frequently, present maps are of 2006 vintage. Banks, for example, also need up-to-date ground water resource related information. There are lots of schemes for lending assistance to farmers including for digging bore wells. If data is not available regarding the status of ground water, then it becomes difficult for banks to decide on loans. There is no accurate data gathering on bore wells; the enumeration data varies greatly from the actual gross number of bore wells. Meter readers could probably be trained to gather these and update. There is also need for effective real time monitoring of water management in irrigation commands since users in lower part of the commands are facing serious difficulties. Statistical analysis should be GIS enabled and reflected in GIS. Kannada usage in GIS services is vital for addressing local level applications and for rural communities.

KGIS Data and Applications Needs

8.4. Present soil information maps at 1:250 K and others are grossly inadequate.

Agricultural scientists and GIS trained personnel should be enabled to work together for improving this. GIS applications should cover animal husbandry needs too. Public Transportation sector, likewise, has lot of needs for GIS application and has begun use of it. A hand holding is necessary. There is need for Mobile applications (which are useful for applications like feedback gathering /monitoring of programs like MGNREGA) to be promoted through collaborative approaches.

8.5. In the current state of technological progress, data use can be facilitated without the need for data owners to part with the data. KGIS should become a

platform which eliminates need for multiple agencies collecting same data. All data should be freely accessible to users through the platform. Each user could determine what they need. Platform approach will allow progressive growth.

8.6. Meta data should specify data purpose and accuracies clearly. A gross disclaimer statement on data that it is not for legal purpose may create an impression that it is not reliable.

What needs to be done to bring benefit to stake-holders 8.7. KGIS should be citizen centric and citizen friendly. Main focus of GIS is to

self- empower the citizens. Therefore endeavors to open up KGIS to public are very important. KGIS should be conceived as a carrier and APIs should be opened up so that applications can grow freely.

Industry participation in K-GIS Implementation

8.8. Demystification of this technology for common man is the need of the hour.

Some of the private organizations in Bangalore are already into GIS customization domain and their services/expertise can be relevant for KGIS implementation. Industry role is vital for KGIS asset generation. Industries which service the government departments find that personnel in the government trained by them are transferred often to other areas which are hurting continuity of operations, and even resulting at times undue blame on industry involved. Policy should be retention of core skilled people.

High-end research needs in GIS

8.9. Academia should be involved more intensively in research by posing a

challenging agenda and problems to them. Research efforts should be undertaken in the fields of automatic pattern recognition and object identification in order to increase process efficiencies of large amount of data collected.

Academia participation in K-GIS Implementation 8.10. All agricultural universities should be equipped with GIS laboratories and the

master & doctoral level students should be engaged into appropriate roles in the context of KGIS development.

9. On the whole, the workshop participants expressed deep appreciation for the process enabled by the workshop and reinforced the urgency and relevance of K-GIS. Describing KGIS as an apt initiative, which is highly relevant for the current environment, the participants appreciated that the consultation process had been vital to make diverse users see value in KGIS. The Vision and User needs documents, it was informed, will be in public domain for a few more days for any user or general public to provide suggestions and key feedback from this workshop will be appropriately taken into account for bringing out final versions of those documents. The workshop had overwhelmingly endorsed the initiative for KGIS and concluded with a vote of thanks.
