Mission III: Geoinformatics
The main function of Mission III is to build, maintain and effectively manage IT resources to
ensure archival and dissemination of information to stakeholders. It aims to deliver
accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive products and services and provide crucial
support to all missions of the organization. Mission III is actively involved in national as well
as international collaborative initiatives (NSDI, NDSAP, NGIS etc.) concerning
dissemination of geoinformation. Mission III plays a vital role in coordinating with the Policy
Support System of GSI and Ministry of Mines on the issues pertaining to information
dissemination policies and guidelines. The major activities of Mission III are categorised as
follows:
Mission IIIA - IT Infrastructure & Connectivity,
and Data Repository & Management: Mission
IIIA maintains and manages the IT Infra-
structure Connectivity, Applications and
Databases in GSI and provides the necessary
setup to archive and disseminate data and
deliver geo-information to various stakeholders
in an effective way. GSI has implemented an
integrated IT-enablement system - Online Core
Business Integrated System (OCBIS) with a
goal towards comprehensive data management across its Missions and Support systems.
GSI has started disseminating valuable geoscientific information through the Portal and
Bhukosh, the Geospatial store. OCBIS went live on 1st April 2017.
