New Delhi, June 28 (HS). Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh on Friday launched two geo-portals. These include Bhuvan Panchayat (version 4.0) and National Emergency Management Database (NDEM version 5.0).
On this occasion, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said that Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has developed both these portals. ISRO's role is being expanded from rocket and satellite launch to one that impacts and facilitates common life. In this sequence, Bhuvan Panchayat Portal has been launched today. As per the instructions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ISRO's role is increasing in strengthening the country's Digital India and infrastructure. Taking that forward, Bhuvan Panchayat Portal was launched. This portal will ensure the participation of local people in mapping of rural land at the panchayat level. It has been the priority of the government to ensure the participation of citizens in governance. This is a revolutionary step.
ISRO has recently rolled out updated versions of two important national level geospatial databases, including Decentralised Planning for the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, presented as Bhuvan Panchayat (Version 4.0) and Disaster Management Support for the Ministry of Home Affairs, organized as National Database for Emergency Management (NDEM Version 5.0).
