1) The document discusses Karnataka GIS (K-GIS), a flagship geospatial initiative in Karnataka that aims to create a unified geospatial database and decision support system. 2) K-GIS will integrate geospatial data from various departments and make it available through a centralized portal to improve governance, planning and citizen services. 3) The initiative faces challenges in data integration, skills development, and establishing standards and policies, but provides opportunities for improving governance, industry and skills development.

Agenda for today’s Panel Discussion
 Unified geospatial information centres to manage cities
◦ How citywide data centres help in better planning, managing and governing
the cities
 Open data – availability, standards and regulatory framework
 Challenges, opportunities
◦ data integration, adopting digital platforms, agency staff capacities,
establishing dedicated agency, outsourcing to private agencies.
 way forward in adopting digital platforms

Current Gaps and KGIS Needs
 Lack of integrated data between various departments
 Lack of spatial data availability in various dept
 Few Dept only have their own GIS teams
 Lack of expertise of GIS specialists and analysts
 DSS based on spatial data and trends is the requirement
 Existing Spatial Data - not in common coordinate reference frame
 Lack of GIS Applications and DSS for operational needs
 Non clarity in data sharing policy between dept and public

A flagship Project of GoK, to Institutionalize the use of Geospatial in the
Governance
Karnataka GIS (K-GIS)
• A new information regime supporting good Governance, sustainable development
and citizen empowerment
• To offer GIS decision support services for Government, enterprises and citizens
• To maintain a state-wide, standardized, seamless, accurate and authentic and
updated GIS data and Information
• Positioning the use of GIS technology and applications as primary tool for Planning
and Governance
• To provide a GIS-Applications platform for government, citizens and enterprises to
host/provide GIS-APPS as a suite of GIS DSS tools

Expected Benefits
 Make GIS data available at all levels
 Geo-enabling e-governance and public services by
embedding GIS in all aspects of planning and development at
state/district/panchayat levels;
 Bringing transparency and geo-spatial information support
in decision-making;
 Citizen services by giving access to geospatial information;
 Enabling a “crowd-sourced” interactive process of citizen
involvement in providing feed-back/inputs/data
 Enable a sound process of monitoring and identifying “gaps
in development”;
 To make the state to be in the forefront of this field of
technology and applications that that are fast growing
globally.
 Also to make Karnataka GIS to be major contributor towards
establishment of National GIS

Views and thoughts for Discussion...
Open Data - Availability,
standards & regulatory
framework
• Available data - not always
standardised – no worries
but efforts…
• …efforts for linking spatial &
MIS data
• Require Interoperable stds
for Data and SOA for Appln
is needed
• Agencies should publish /
share available data, AS IS.
• Regulatory Framework – is
mandatory – for sharing
• To mandate GIS updation
for payment clearance
• Ownership clarity on base
data and value addition to
be clarified.
• Apex body is needed for
coordination across dept
Challenges
• Enabling agencies to share
data
• Creating spatial data for non-
available data / assets
• Data on std common frame -
positional and content
accuracy
• Unique coding for linking
across all layers / across dept
• Data validation and
mandatory data updation
• Transaction monitoring
whenever an objects spatial
relationship changes
• Availability of skilled / Talent
resources
• COTS Vs Open Source
selection
• Good internet bandwidth
• Funds –Est, Ops &
maintenance
Way Forward
Manage large volumes of data, application, web / mobile solution
(IOT, Big data, Analytics) delivery – performance, data / solution
updation and maintenance – technologies to be adopted
Let’s Discuss…..THANK YOU
Opportunities
• Training & development for
skilled resources on data
management, application
dev, analytics
• Opportunity for GIS
industry – data creation,
cleaning, linking, positional
improvement, Content
accuracy validation and
improvement, App Dev
• Opportunity for HW / SW /
NW infrastructure OEM’s
• Good Internet Bandwidth
