Geospatial Technology Platform to Support e-Governance 
(Version 4.0)
The 73rd and 74th Constitution Amendments of 1993 facilitate the realization of consistent and conscious efforts towards Decentralised planning for rural and urban areas, respectively. These amendments have provided much-needed constitutional legitimacy to local governance institutions, defined their functional domains and provided financial devolution to these institutions. The Space-based Information Support for Decentralised Planning (SISDP) project was formulated by NRSC and was implemented in partnership with State Remote Sensing Application Centres in the country to provide basic planning inputs derived from satellite data. The major deliverables, viz., satellite image of 2.5 m resolution for the entire country and thematic maps on a 1:10000 scale, generated for the first time in the country, are extremely useful in meeting the current requirements of planning, development, implementation and monitoring activities at Panchayat / Village Level.
“Empowering Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and the Stakeholders with Space-based Information Support for Decentralised Planning and Governance ”.
Together, let's leverage the power of thematic data layers for enhanced understanding and sustainable development in rural areas.
Our Land Use Land Cover data layer offers valuable insights into land use types and distribution across different regions. This data provides a comprehensive understanding of the Earth's surface, including forests, urban areas, agricultural land, water bodies, and more. Our data can assist users in making informed decisions related to land management, resource allocation, and sustainable development.
Understanding the distribution and characteristics of drainage systems and water bodies is crucial for various fields, such as hydrology, water resource management, and environmental studies. Our drainage and water bodies data layer offers detailed information about rivers, lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, and other water features. This data enable users to assess water availability, monitor water quality, and analyze flood risks for sustainable water management.
Efficient transportation and infrastructure networks are vital for economic development and connectivity in rural areas. Our infrastructure data layer includes information on roads and railways, providing a comprehensive overview of transportation routes and networks. This data assists users in transportation planning, infrastructure development, logistics optimization, and assessing accessibility to various areas.
Our settlements data layer focuses on human settlements, providing comprehensive information about urban areas, towns, and villages. This data helps the user to understand the spatial characteristics and patterns of settlements, supporting their work in urban planning, infrastructure development, and demographic analysis. This data is invaluable in understanding the dynamics of human habitation and guiding development initiatives.
In India, Gram Panchayat (GP) is the basic unit in the bottom-up model of Decentralised developmental planning. Land and water resources development planning in rural areas is a subject matter of local authorities from Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and endeavours are being made to orient the space technology towards providing technical assistance in preparing sustainable development plans.

Space-based Information Support for Decentralised Planning (SISDP) project was formulated by NNRMS/ISRO to support the integration of space-based information into developmental planning at a 1:10k scale. Execution is done by NRSC and its Regional Centres in partnership with State Remote Sensing Centres, line departments, and academia.
