Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic has proved a serious deterrent to global health and healthcare systems. Given the unpredictable nature of the pandemic and associated challenges, the Central and State Governments of India envisioned a strategic, time-bound restrengthening of their capabilities to contain the spread and safeguard their people. Geospatial technologies proved to be a formidable tool for streamlining immediate, short-term, and long-term strategies to meet this vision.

Along these lines, ISRO’s Bhuvan Geo-Portal emerged as a reliable tool supporting the Central Government, various State Departments and the citizens of India to combat the COVID-19 pandemic through the development of resourceful mobile applications, web- and location-based utilities, tools, OGC services, APIs and dashboards, all of which collectively aided informed decision making.

Vision: To build tools, platforms, and applications that help strengthen governance and healthcare interventions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, using Geospatial technologies.
