EIS & Teien Environmental Information System was established in 2006 under MoEF that also allows data access and query to other institutions that deal with environmental data. TEIEN will create an environment over which participants shall exchange regular environmental data through the mechanisms and applications to be developed. The system will also serve advanced reporting tools and GIS-enabled decision support tools for geo-referenced environmental data. It was started in December 2008 and will last in 16 months. Reporting at all levels planned to be realised through the reporting tool of TEIEN
