The Ministry of Tribal Welfare brought out The Schedule Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act-2006 and Rules in 2008. It is notified for implementation from 1st January 2008. The act provides for recognizing the individual rights to forest land which is cultivated by forest-dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers. The criteria are the forest land should have been occupied before 13th December 2005 and continue to have been under occupation.
Funding Agency: Karnataka Forest Department
Objectives
To provide Remote Sensing based evidence that the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers have occupied forest before 13th December 2005.

The fringe areas of forests in Karnataka are often influenced and encroached by human activities. The other major phenomenon that affects the forest environment is the forest fire. To safeguard the forests from these negative influences effectively and also to manage forest resources it is proposed to develop a GIS-based digital cadastral database of notified forest lands. In this context Karnataka Forest Department initiated the project for delineating the forest boundaries using Geo-referenced Village Cadastral maps with survey numbers on high-resolution ortho-rectified satellite image and create a Geo-spatial database of forest lands. Which also helps for updating of a cadastral maps and development of land resources information system for forest areas.
Funding Agency: Karnataka Forest Department
Scope of the project:
To create digital database of forest lands of State of Karnataka.
Aranya Soochi: Interim project of Forest Mapping
To create digital database of forest lands of State of Karnataka using existing Seamleee cadastral data available with KSRSAC.

Mapping and inventory of Indian wetlands at scale using Resourcesat-1(IRS-P6)LISS III data pertaining to 2006-07 has been carried out at Space Application Centre (SAC,2011) funded by Ministry of Environment and Forests(MoEF),Govt. Of India. Mangroves as one of the major coastal wetlands occupy 3.09% (4714.07 sqkm) of the total wetland area. Also, Forest survey of India conducts biennial mapping at 1:50000 scale, where mangrove database at national level. Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Govt.of India has stressed on the need of having national level data base on mangrove on 1:25,000 scale and also to identify areas of intense changes, with reference to previous assessments with the following objectives

Component 1
The area estimation for the new crops viz., Kharif Maize, groundnut and Rabi groundnut based on the requirements from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department, Govt. of India was taken up under SUFALAM programme. Space Technology Utilization for Food Security Agricultural Assessment and Monitoring under SUFALAM project is envisaged to develop the methodology for pre-harvest area and production forecast for new crops using remote sensing and other collateral data. Karnataka is one of the major growing states for maize and groundnut crops in Kharif and Rabi seasons. The duration of the project is from 2019 to 2020. The main objective is to develop a methodology for crop area estimation using Synthetic Aperture Data (SAR) and optical satellite images.
Component 2
National Institute for Transforming India Ayog (NITI) setup a task force on “Use of technology for agriculture Insurance”. The task force in terms of report suggested the use of space technology in different capacities to aid the crop insurance schemes viz., assessment of area sown, difference in crop area sown, prevented or failed sowing, crop loss, crop damage area estimation, planning and optimization of crop cutting experiments at different administrative or Insurance Units. The crop covered under this study area Kharif paddy, Rabi sorghum and summer paddy. The duration of the project is from 2019 to 2021.
The main objectives of the study are listed below
Ongoing
The works related to Forecasting agricultural output using Space Agro-meteorological and Land-based observation (FASAL) was carried out for the major crops in Karnataka for Kharif paddy, cotton, summer paddy, sugarcane, Rabi sorghum & Bengal gram in collaboration with MNCFC. Sentinel-1 Microwave data (Spatial Resolution 20m, 12 days) VV polarization, Resourcesat-2 LISS-III data (Spatial Resolution 23.5m, 24 days), Sentinel-2 (10m, 10 days) and Landsat-8 OLI (30m, 16 days), were used for acreage estimation. District level area and yield have been estimated using weather-based regression and remote sensing index (Vegetation Crop Index) based models.

Since no proper Pre-Level and Post Level data of the above period was available to take up the work, it was decided to carry out the work using available Stereo Cartosat Images for the period. A search of NRSC website revealed that the Stereo data of the following dates were available covering the mining area of Bellary district.

KSRSAC has prepared Taluka and G.P wise maps showing proposed suitable Water Harvesting Structures. Based on these maps concerned authority will conduct suitable site investigation, survey etc., before finalizing and recommending WHSs site for construction.
Since KSRSAC is the nodal agency for all the GIS projects in the state it has taken up the work of preparing GIS Base Maps for the generation of Master plan of the 26 LPAs. Very high-resolution Satellite image (worldview 2.05m) is used for the preparation of base maps on scale 1:2000 with symbols. More than 100 feature layers are being extracted from the satellite image for the generation of large scale base maps. The Maps are prepared as per the KGIS content standards. The data is prepared in a designed geodatabase format with all inbuilt topological validations.

The Visvesvaraya Iron & Steel Plant (VISP) located in Bhadravati, Karnataka is a unit of SAIL. VISP holds a large extent of area which is utilized for its factory use and township. To have an effective management of existing land resources and assets of VISP (including roads, buildings- residential, commercial, industrial use, parks, public amenities etc) VISP desires to have a Geographic Information System (GIS) based land resources and asset information system.
To establish such state-of-the-art GIS based information system, VISP had approached Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Center (KSRSAC), the state nodal agency for carrying out the Remote Sensing and GIS (RS&GIS) activities of Government of Karnataka.

The project envisages monitoring and evaluation of NABARD sponsored projects using Bhuvan web services and mobile applications. The watersheds have to be monitored by using multi-temporal satellite images for three dates and also web portal will be developed for the better utilization of the Bhuvan services. The duration of the project is up to 2020.
The following objectives of the project are given below.

This is a centrally sponsored project under Pradhan Manthri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) launched in the year 2000 primarily to provide all-weather road connectivity to all eligible unconnected habitations in the country. This is one of the components of Bharath Nirman. Under this project, it is envisaged to monitor the activity of rural roads and to create the spatial database of this theme as felt necessary under PMGSY, MoRD. The spatial database needs to be created both for the completed and ongoing roads on 1:10,000 scale. The duration of the project is 18 months and the data will be finally hosted on Bhuvan Geo-portal.
