Bihar Portal of Map Services
Digital India aims to establish end to end geo-spatial systems as part of Mission Mode Projects in e-Governance domain and envisages "National GIS Mission" as core foundation of location based Electronic Delivery of Services for Planning & Governance. NIC/DeitY has created Multi-Layer GIS Platform named "Bharat Maps" which depicts core foundation data as "NICMAPS", an integrated base map service using 1:50,000 scale reference data from Survey of India, ISRO, FSI, RGI and so on. Bharat maps services Platform aims to provide access to GIS data as a service to various Mission mode projects and e-gov divisions of NIC at Central and State level. The service portal enables a platform for accessing the services in a seamless manner. National Portal of Map Services contents are derived from BHARATMAPS GIS portal.
With the spearheading of Information Technology Department, Government of Bihar in collaboration with NIC, Bihar geographic information based platform “iBhugol” was established in 2011 in state. It heralds the beginning of collaborative process to facilitate data based location specific decision making through the use of GIS technology in the state of Bihar. It was challenging task as maps existed in multiple scale, projections, datum, format (digital or hard copy) etc. These datasets were not available in a form that can be integrated with IT applications. iBhugol is the first GIS based system in the country that provides data up to a scale of 1:4000.
In the mitigation to fulfill the objectives of Digital India to establish end-to-end geospatial electronics delivery systems, GIS platform established by NIC, Meity, using iBhugol services has been revamped as “Bihar maps”. This depicts core foundation data as “iBhugol”, an integrated multi-scale multi-resolution base map service using reference data from Survey of India, ISRO, FSI and so on. This covers a large number of vector layers containing administrative boundaries, transport layers such as roads and railways, forest layers, settlement locations etc. including many base map services
