National Geoscience Data Repository (NGDR)
The National Geoscience Data Repository (NGDR) is a comprehensive online platform set to launch on 19th December 2023 in New Delhi. It is designed for accessing, sharing, and analyzing geospatial information across the nation. The initiative, spearheaded by the Geological Survey of India (GSI) and Bhaskarachaya Institute of Space Applications and Geoinformatics (BISAG-N), aims to democratize critical geoscience data. The NGDR project, conceptualized by the Ministry of Mines (MoM) as part of the National Mineral Exploration Policy (NMEP) 2016, envisions a comprehensive, multi-purpose program. The project aims to collate all baselines and mineral exploration information on a common geospatial platform, making it publicly available. This initiative marks the first step towards the establishment of a centralized exploration data repository.
