Enabling Data Accessibility
The Need for a Centralized Geospatial Platform
With the new National Geospatial Policy's emphasis on sharing data (geospatial resources such as datasets, raster data, & web services) and using it for activities related to national development, it is now crucial to make our extensive data repository more accessible and usable for user applications. For this, a central data dissemination platform with facilities to catalog, index, and publish the data will make the search, discovery and access easier for the users.
Visitors to geoportal will be able to search and access these resources to use within their projects. With permissions, visitors can also register geospatial resources with the geoportal using metadata that describes the location, age, quality, and other characteristics of the resources. Read more about the features available to the users in the sections below.
