Ground Validation completed ˜ 11908 Sq.km
Final National Topographic Data Base(NTDB) ˜ 5453 Sq.km
II. Projects:
1. National Hydrology Project (NHP): [Total Area = 8.0 Lac Sq.km]
Using High Resolution Satellite Imagery: Work involves 05 stages for which status is given as under:
Control Work completed ˜ 698457 Sq.Km
Geo-referencing completed ˜ 696070 Sq.km
Feature Extraction completed ˜ 329300 Sq.km
Ground Validation completed ˜ 17328 Sq.km
Final NTDB ˜ 0 Sq.km
2. Using UAV/Drones: Work involves 04 stages for which status is given as under:
Data Acquired using Drone ˜26668 Sq.km
Data Processing ˜21342 Sq.km
Feature Extraction ˜8198 Sq.km
Ground Validation ˜2929 Sq.km
3. Using UAV/Drones [for Village Abadi areas only]
Data Acquired using Drone ˜75644 Villages
Data Processing ˜67403 Villages
Feature Extraction ˜62648 Villages
Final Map ˜7818 Villages
III. The details of States in which the project has started are as below:
1. (i). Departmental Activity to Map entire country using HRSI – All States / UTs.
2. (i). In the States/UT of J&K, HP, Punjab, Uttarakhand, UP, Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat & Arunachal Pradesh.
2. (ii). Large Scale Mapping project is being carried out in the States of Haryana, Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh.
2. (iii). SVAMITVA Project is being carried out in the States of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh. [Mapping of Village Abadi areas only under SVAMITVA project]: Working is under progress and MoUs have been signed for Chhattisgarh, Gujrat, Kerala, Odisha, Jharkhand, Arunanchal Pradesh, Ladakh(UT), Himachal Pradesh, Dadar & Nagar Haveli (UT), J&K (UT), Manipur, Assam, Mizoram, Tripura, Puducherry (UT), Andaman & Nicobar (UT) and Lakshadweep (UT).
(c) The details of funds allocated for the purpose:
Project Total Cost Fund allotted so far
National Hydrology Project 300 Crore 141.05 Crore
National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) 86.64 Crore 41.00 Crore
Large Scale Mapping of Haryana 150 Crore 19.90 Crore
Large Scale Mapping of Karnataka 76 Crore 22.00 Crore
Large Scale Mapping of Andhra Pradesh 73.075 Crore 3.00 Crore
SVAMITVA Project 566.23 Crore 145.46 Crore
(d) The entire country will be covered mostly with HRSI and some areas with UAV/Drones. The SOI will likely to cover entire country by 2024 under Departmental activity using HRSI.
(e) The SOI will likely to cover entire country by 2024 under Departmental activity using HRSI.
