Mountain ecosystems are globally important as centres of biological diversity and they are receiving increasing priority on global conservation agenda1. The Himalaya is recognized as one of the global biodiversity hotspots in view of its rich, unique biodiversity and vulnerability to perturbations. The goods and services emanating from this ecosystem are vitally important for ecological and economic security of a major part of the Indian subcontinent. Despite its global importance, the Himalaya is considered as a data-deficient region2. Recognizing the significance of the Himalaya as an important biological hotspot, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India (GoI) launched the National Mission on Himalayan Studies (NMHS) as a Central Sector (CS) Grant-in-Aid Scheme in late 2015, with a vision to support the sustenance and enhancement of the ecological, natural, cultural and socio-economic capital assets and values of the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR).Full Text

The National Geospatial Policy has well communicated the need for sharing geospatial data, with an emphasis that these data must refer to the geodetic/topographic database of the Survey of India (SoI). SoI has been collecting, processing, archiving and disseminating geodetic data for over a century. Several stakeholders are using these datasets, viz. Government, academia, industry and researchers, for their respective applications. SoI also updated its database as and when required due to the introduction of sophisticated and precise instruments, accuracy requirements, or to improve the database scientifically. Although the results or policies involving the geodetic data are provided in the literature, there is limited discussion of the data themselves. This article provides comprehensive information about the geodetic data available to Indian users for various applications. The data discussed here are the horizontal and vertical positioning, gravity, geoid model and digital elevation models.Keywords
