3. Idea Details*:
3.1 Title of the Idea:
Centralized Data Assimilation and Dissemination (C-DAD)
3.2 Description of the Idea as per criteria mentioned in the guidelines (max. 3000
characters)
As of today huge data (spatial and non-spatial) are being collected at various project locations and
offices. The more than 50% project effort is utilized in collection, integration and analyzing the data to
arrive at specific - meaningful conclusion. This collected-generated data is used for various report
generation and at the end submission to client.
Project approached toward completion ,once the report is submitted to client after analyzing data,. As
soon as project end, particular data of this project goes in dump or it goes with responsible team or
person. Such data can not be retrieved if that particular person or team moved out of company. There
is no mechanism where data from project offices is automatically migrate to the central location or
HO. Due to lack of such mechanism, company losses valuable and costly basic as well as derived
data. Now assuming company award another project at same geographical location and company
does not have previous project data. In such cases company has to generate same set of data by
engaging similar resource as had for previous project. Such duplication of effort in collection and
generation of data consume same amount of time and money thereby reducing our efficiency-
productivity and ultimately profitability which otherwise would have save our resource, if data would
have been preserved at safe place.
Moreover, major infrastructure project are now located at length and breadth of geographical areas
making it more difficult to manage it. However such infrastructure project has open up new opportunity
in delivering goods at faster rate if we are able to compile and generate basic data/base map on vast
geographical extent. Such basic data would support major as well as small project in those
geographical areas and reduced the need of data for future projects.
C-DAD is centralized data gathering –integrating-dissemination system. The core of this system is
Geographical Information System (GIS) wherein data mostly Spatial and Non Spatial/Tabular/Graph-
chart/) is collected by various mean i.e personal contact, Purchased, through client, Derived –
Generated during project execution etc. are collected and stored centrally with respective to
geographical location.

By C-DAD all data is clubbed at single location by core member of C-DAD, update the master data
from various source and organized data in way that reduce redundant and duplication of data. The
level of data can be at various scales from India level to city or upto building or city lane. Data can be
organized in sector wise like water, topography, environment, traffic & transportation, urban,
agricultural, forest etc.
3.3 Results Obtainable (max. 500 characters)
By C-DAD measurable result would be 1) Immediately know where is what? 2) Immediately analysis
with available data to assess future data requirement, risk analysis involved at bidding, proposal and
implementation stage of the project.3) Planning of project at the start of the project.4) Reduced
duplication and multiplication of data for the same geographical location.5) Immediate map/ data
creation for various sectors e.g Preparation of land acquisition cases, Land use land cover
classification for EIA report etc, Preparation of base map for Master plan development.
3.4 Time required for Implementation (in months)
The time required to implement the C-DAD shall be around 6-12 month
3.5 Phases of Realization (max. 500 characters)
1. Setting the right resource like hardware, software and human resource
2. Assimilation of data, migration of available data to central location.
3. Dissemination of require data/map to end users e.g. Sectoral groups.
3.6 Has a patent been filed for the Idea YES NO
3.7 Implementation Methodology (max. 1000 characters)
Implementation is required at three levels
I) At project office : Installation of common data storage device at every project location is primary
requirement and mandatory storage of row/processed data of the project by concern project staff.
II) At regional office : Installation of common data storage device is primary need. Data at this
storage can be categories as per different projects. At this office data from project location will be
gathered and stored appropriately. To make it more efficient, directory and folder structure also be
developed to make it easy to migrate the data from one location to another.
III) At Head Quarter: Pooling the data from either regional or project office accordingly. Sufficient
infrastructure need to develop like data connectivity between Head Quarter and Regional office and
between project office to regional office.

b. Is this idea compatible across sectors? Please specify particular relevance to Egis
India operations (max. 500 characters)
C-DAD is useful in many sector within EGIS India Operations, in water, social and environment, rail,
road and urban department. Social and environment sector prepared EIA report for which Land cover
classification from remote sending satellite data is essential. In preparation of land acquisition cases
for road and water sector, Preparation of base map for water sanitation and urban development.
Traffic analysis and optimum route alignment for rail and road department.
c. Tentative Cost Estimate : 15 to 20 Million Indian Rupee
3.12 Perceived Risks and their Mitigation
Risk: -Initial cost is major risk and updation and maintenance and timely distribution of data is key
to successful implementation of C-DAD.
Mitigation: Establishment of efficient data transfer technology between the offices and employing
require experienced professional
