Introduction 
• Bhuvan is a software application which allows users to explore 
a 2D/3D representation of the surface of the Earth. 
• The browser is specifically tailored to view India, offering the 
highest resolution in this region provided with local four 
languages. 
• A beta version was launched on 12 August 2009. 
• Bhuvan not only provide visualisation but also 
provide timely Disaster support services (Domestic and 
international),Free satellite data and products download 
facility, Rich Thematic datasets.
Working with Bhuvan 
• Bhuvan is a free web based visualisation 
system.Users can access Bhuvan by visiting 
www.bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in 
• Bhuvan contains four segments: 
Visualization 
Services 
Application Sectors

  5. The Disaster Management Support (DMS) Program of ISRO, commits to providing timely support and services from aero-space systems, both imaging and communications, for strThese include creation of digital data base for facilitating hazard zonation, damage assessment, etc., monitoring of major natural disasters using satellite and aerial data, development of appropriate techniques and tools for decision support, establishing satellite based reliable communication network, deployment of emergency communication equipments and R&D towards early warning of disasters. The Decision Support Centre (DSC), set up at NRSC under the DMS program, is the single window of ISRO to provide the information for efficient disaster management. It operates on 16x7 basis during normal time and on 24x7 basis during disasters. Similarly, all information on disasters generated by DSC is ported onto Bhuvan for the use of the common man. Active forest fire incidents derived using MODIS Terra/ Aqua and DMSP-OLS data disseminated through NRSC's web site (INFFRAS) is also shown on Bhuvan on a daily basis.engthening the resolves of disaster management in the country.
  6. Potential Fishing Zones PFZ forecasts are operationally disseminated to all the maritime States including the two Union Territories since 1993. An integrated approach for Potential Fishing Zone based on Chlorophyll & SST have been developed, validated and transferred to Indian National Centre for Coastal and Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) for operational use. About 40,000 users are benefited through PFZ forecast. Data from Oceansat - 1 and Oceansat - 2 is being used for various applications within India. The most significant one being, the advisories of potential fishing zones and coastal water pollution, sedimentation monitoring, estimation of water vapour content in the atmosphere and the prediction of the onset of the monsoon. The data showcased on Bhuvan about the PFZ contains information about distance, direction, and the depth of the potential fishing zones
