National Knowledge Network • Government is building an IP Network with gigabit capabilities to connect 1500 plus nodes across the country for Education and Research to expand, excel & collaborate • All universities will be included in this • NKN is operational with 2.5 gigabits and over 1001 institutions are connected today • NKN to consolidate multiple networks in the country • NKN to provide new virtual network facilities • NKN to be the backbone for the Education, health, Research and multiple applications for the future
NKN - consolidate other Networks Educational Institutions Research Labs CSIR/DAE/ISRO/ICAR Cert-IN/ NTRO National Internet Exchange Points (NIXI) EDUSAT MPLS Clouds Broad Band Clouds INTERNET Connections to Global Networks (e.g. GEANT) National / State Data Centers / Networks
Increasing Connectivity for Innovation: Rural Broadband • Rural broadband to connect all 250,000 panchayats in two years for democratising information, openness, connectivity, transparency and accountability • Transformational potential in governance • Delivery of public services • Real time feedback • Monitoring G to G transactions • Training of panchayat and other grassroots functionaries • Skilling the community • Empowering the community through e-library/reading room • Crowd sourcing feedback and suggestions • Larger goal: Radicalising democracy through information • Government has approved the proposal to connect all 250,000 Panchayats through optic fiber on 25th October 2011 • 59 pilots completed in Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura.

Different Ministries provide different sets of information from disparate databases Department of Space Ministry of Home Affairs Ministry of Environment & Forests Ministry of Mines Ministry of Science & Technology Indian Space Research Organization Registrar General of India Forest Survey of India Geological Survey of India Survey of India Satellite Imagery Census Information Forest Layer Geological Mineral data Topographical Data National GIS Ministry of Agriculture Ministry of Water Resources Other Ministries NBSSLNUP Soil Land Use Survey of India Central Ground Water board Other Databases Central Water Commission There is a need for integration of these disparate databases into a National GIS through standardization. This has to be lead by an independent authority.
