The Natural Resources Data Management System (NRDMS) programme is a multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional R&D programme of the Department of Science and Technology

It aimed at developing methodologies for building and promoting the use of spatial data management and analysis technologies in local area planning.

NRDMS is supporting several academic and R & D Institutions with projects specially focusing towards the need of local level planning.

The current focus under NRDMS is on technological and institutional capacity building in a multi-level framework below the District level, so that people can plan their own development utilizing the local resources.

45 Pilot district centers are located in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Haryana, Gujarat and North East Region.

Studies carried out over the past few years in different areas like land and water system analysis, watershed management, groundwater budgeting, energy planning, and landslides have contributed to the understanding of the complex task of drawing up sustainable development strategies for smaller area units.
