Digital Resource Centre (DRC)

The programme aims to establish a Digital Resource Centre (DRC) on the themes related to environment, forest and other sectors including reports and thematic publications and an integrated single point database for spatial and non-spatial data, analytical, trend and sectoral reports, tools and techniques under a single tab. It would endeavour to compile spatial information on environmental parameters, such as wetlands, desertification, etc. which are presently not available with the divisions in the Ministry. This would facilitate informed policy and decision-making.

The Programme Centres may also gradually build a glossary on their assigned subject areas along with collecting latest news, rules and regulations issued by State and Central Governments on the assigned subject area or State for uploading on the DRC.
