MPGIS site & software:

Welcome at MPGIS. This is first website on Geographical Information Systems 'GIS', in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India, which is developed by the pioneers of GIS application technologies for the Rural development and Field level tasks. It offers GIS support by way of Data, Maps and GIS related information and services. It has lot of useful content for Field level organisations - Government and Non-government, for  projects and programmes. Researchers may find many useful references and information. The site under the "GIS Panorama" aims also to provide a window to the scenario of progress in the state through various development programmes taken up by govt. and other organisations.

Objective is "To provide exhaustive GIS for our very own State of Madhya Pradesh. The State, that has large geographic area, abundance of natural resources, varied class of people, etc. But, what the State lacks is an Information base. Our sole mission is to fill this gap through this effort."

We understand Maps easily:

Man has the basic instinct to understand pictures and graphical information. The same rule applies even today also - not because we have got any weakness to understand the data, but because - 'No body has time to read thick volumes of Tables and go through voluminous Databases'.

Maps have come in as the best form of presentation of information. Maps have a language that even a layman can understand. Obviously the educated class and the experts may go far beyond simple perception of data and may actually derive many useful conclusions easily which can bring lot of change in their day to day working mainly related to planning and monitoring activities.

It is thus, far more a useful medium than narrative form of information. And when put on computers, that is in digital form, the same maps become much more useful. The GIS techniques are used to computerise the maps - rather, computerisation of maps alongwith data generates a GIS. GIS is a commonly used system these days. Almost all field related works make use of GISs.

GIS: The MP GIS

The state of Madhya Pradesh, that is India's second largest state, has large number of districts, blocks/talukas and villages and towns. The State has had the privilege of getting one of the first four projects in the country of Preparation of GIS under the auspices of Department of Electronics/ Min. of IT.Govt. of India, way back in 1995. A full fledged GIS centre was established at NCHSE, Bhopal and then began the work of fulfilling the GIS needs of the State from one to all.
