Utility of NDDB GIS Server

The NDDB GIS server is the first attempt of its kind, where village level integration of data has been done, at such a large scale, for the dairy sector. Many GIS analysis, both spatial & non-spatial can be made through this application. Some illustrative examples are given below,

Illustration I:

Kolhapur Milk Union in Maharashtra has initiated a “re-vegetation” activity of a fodder development programme in this village under NDP-I. As a stakeholder, information is required for promoting dairy related activities pertaining to this particular village. The i-DGIS provides the information as below along with map. (Fig: 1)

Village: Gogave,
Tehsil: Sahuwadi
District :Kolhapur (Maharashtra)
Households: 373 Buffaloes : 205 Xbred Cows: 117
Population: 1809 Cultivators: 616 Agricultural Labourers : 14
Village Area (in hectares):764 Cultivated Area: 715 Irrigated Area: 23 Culturable Wasteland: 11

It can be seen that along with the village boundaries (which are important to delineate the area within the village, where culturable wastelands are present for possible fodder development) , i-DGIS is able to show the entire datasets pertaining to village wise Human Census, Livestock Census and Village amenities dataset.

Illustration II:

Which are the villages that lie within 2-3 Km on either side of this road? Can some of these villages with dairy potential become part of our program by extending the existing milk route?

Illustration III:

How many villages, say within a radius of 3 km, can we cover if the Bulk Milk Cooler (BMC) is set up in this village? What is the combined breed able bovine livestock population in these villages?

Fig.3: Villages located within 3km radius of BMC.

Illustration IV:

Which villages have been already covered under bulking i.e. Village Based Milk Procurement System (VBMPS)? What is the scope of enhancing the coverage areas?

Illustration V:

Which is the village where a diary infrastructure, say, Bulk Milk Cooler, is located, when the coordinates are known by GPS readings (XY Longitude/Latitude) but the revenue village name is not known?
