The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) is the nodal agency responsible for coordinating and promoting geographical data sharing in India.

The primary objective of the NSDI is to facilitate the sharing of geographical data among various stakeholders, develop and maintain a national geospatial data repository, and promote the use of geospatial technologies in decision-making.

The Geospatial Data Sharing Portal is an initiative launched by the NSDI to promote awareness and outreach for geographical data sharing.

The Geospatial Data Sharing Portal serves as a platform for users to access and share geographical data, disseminates information about geospatial data sharing initiatives, and provides training and resources on geospatial data sharing.

Data Quality Assessment Tools are not a key component of the Geospatial Data Sharing Portal.

The National Geospatial Training Program plays a crucial role in promoting awareness and outreach for geographical data sharing by providing training, developing training materials, and conducting workshops and seminars on geospatial data sharing.

The general public is not a target audience for the National Geospatial Training Program.

The National Geospatial Data Policy provides a framework for geospatial data sharing in India, outlines the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders, and promotes the adoption of open data principles in geospatial data sharing.

Data sharing should not be free of cost as per the National Geospatial Data Policy.

Bhuvan serves as a platform for users to visualize and explore geospatial data, disseminates information about geospatial data sharing initiatives, and provides training and resources on geospatial data sharing.

Real-time data streaming is not a key feature of Bhuvan.

The Geospatial Data Sharing Portal, National Geospatial Training Program, National Geospatial Data Policy, and Bhuvan collectively provide a comprehensive framework for geospatial data sharing, promote the adoption of open data principles, and facilitate the sharing of geographical data among various stakeholders.

Promoting awareness and outreach for geographical data sharing in India faces challenges such as lack of awareness about the benefits of geospatial data sharing, data sharing restrictions due to privacy and security concerns, and lack of technical infrastructure and capacity for data sharing.

Best practices for promoting awareness and outreach for geographical data sharing include conducting workshops and seminars, developing training materials, and establishing data sharing agreements and partnerships.

The future outlook for awareness and outreach for geographical data sharing in India is promising, with increased adoption of open data principles, improved technical infrastructure, and greater collaboration among stakeholders.
