## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (SHRI RAJIV RANJAN SINGH ALIAS LALAN SINGH)

(a) 'One Nation, One Map' means all the diverse geospatial information and maps from various departments integrated into common platform, enabling the common man to use maps for evidence-based planning. Ministry of Panchayati Raj is not leading any such initiative namely 'One Nation One Map'. However, under Geo-spatial policy 2022 developed by Department of Science and Technology (DST), data consistency is ensured through standardized national and sectoral datasets aligned with international standard themes and made accessible via the National Geospatial Data Registry (NGDR).SoI is the agency responsible for developing and operating the National Geospatial Data Registry (NGDR) and the Unified Geospatial Interface (UGI).SoI acts as a facilitator in harmonization of data sets created using public funds. This ensures that data generated from various mapping activities is seamlessly integrated into a common Reference Framework.

(b) and (d) Under National Geo-spatial policy 2022, integration of multiple Central and State government departments is done through standardized data sharing via NGDR and UGI; however, the policy framework does not specify exact numbers of departments onboarded or district-wise and Gram Panchayat-level coverage. Its pan-India design enables widespread utilization across States, including Karnataka, supporting district and Panchayat-level planning. Geo-spatial Policy framework is a nation wide policy.

(c) Under National Geo-spatial policy 2022, Geospatial Data Promotion and Development Committee (GDPDC) shall be the apex national body for formulating and implementing appropriate guidelines, strategies and programs for promotion of activities related to collection, generation, preparation, dissemination, storage, publication, updating and/or digitization of Geospatial data along with associated products, solutions and services.

(e) Ministry is not implementing any such initiative named 'One Nation, One Map.'
