Union Minister Jitendra Singh proposes 'National Geospatial Data Repository' for utilisation of Start-up ecosystems

The initiative proposes a unified geospatial data repository and public-private partnership model, aiming to seamlessly integrate geo-infrastructure for industry and startups. This approach seeks to foster indigenous innovation that directly benefits farmers and rural communities, emphasizing collaboration with non-governmental sectors. Such a strategy is vital for open data as it promotes the pooling of scientific resources and knowledge across government departments. By creating a single nodal interface for scientific portals and geospatial data, it encourages broader access, interoperability, and the scalable multiplication of benefits for the public. The unified system aims to break down silos between various science ministries, ensuring coordinated efforts. This structural integration supports a sustainable ecosystem where data transparency and collaborative development drive technological advancements for societal welfare.
