Project 1: Design and Development of Open Access Web GIS applications as part of the project titled “Redesigning the farmer extension agricultural research/education Continuum in India”, A consortium project under National Agriculture Innovation Project (NAIP) component – 1, Funded by Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), 2009-2010

The Open Web GIS is a new technology framework whereby dynamic geographic information from multiple sources are integrated on cohesive platform, and disseminated over the web browser. For the first time in the Country, a Web GIS application was developed to facilitate the dynamic web based visualization and analysis of spatially referenced Soil Health Information for Dharwad District of Karnataka. In a Web GIS application access and interaction with the dynamic geo-information is made possible over the Web. The Web GIS provides thematic information of Dharward District in a most user-friendly digital, context-sensitive map interface. The map navigation and information extraction is extremely easy by using mouse clicks. The themes used in the application are Soil health information (such as Boron, Zinc, Sulphur, Electrical Conductivity, pH, Potassium, Olsons Phosphorus, Organic Carbon), topography, satellite image.

Project 2: Establish an Advanced Center For Development and Promotion of Free and Open Source Software for GIS (Foss4gis), funded by Government of Kerala (2011-2016)

The importance of open source arises from the need to share and reuse applications and data in order to decrease costs, the need to choose the best tool for the job, and the need for more people with less training to benefit from using data in more applications. At the same time FOSS based Geospatial Information Management is at its infant stage in the State.

Project.3: Establishing an R&D facility for Geographic Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery for integrated spatial planning for Kerala, funded by Government of Kerala (2012-2013)

The objective of the Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) is to attach locally available natural resources in an optimum manner to achieve the overall goal of sustainable development in the area. These objectives can be realized by conserving, protecting and restoring the ecological balance by developing natural resources and by preventing soil erosion, degradation of top soil cover, regeneration of natural vegetation, rain water harvesting and recharging of the ground water table. The programme also gives specific importance to the productivity enhancement of agriculture/horticulture/animal husbandry activities and innovative sustainable livelihood development of the community. The activities for resource development and usage is planned to promote farming and allied activities and also to promote local livelihoods while ensuring resource conservation and regeneration.

Project 7: Developing customizable mobile application using Open Source Technology for spatial data collection funded by Kerala State Land Use Board (2016)

Several Departments and agencies in the State are engaged in massive spatial data collection from the field. Some of the examples are coconut palm location mapping, health mapping, etc. When data to be collected from locations spread over entire State, the cost of data collection becomes enormous. Several hundreds of GPS equipments need to be purchased involving huge cost and after the exercise, the equipments become useless. Developing customizable mobile applications using Open Source Technology can be extremely cost-effective as they are cost-effective and are customizable and reusable

Project. 8: Web GIS for soil fertility mapping and fertilizer recommendation system for rubber growing regions (Collaborative project between RRII and IIITMK)

Site-specific nutrient management (considering spatial variability in soil nutrient status) is more efficient to prevent over, under or imbalanced manuring than the conventional approach of general fertilizer recommendation ignoring the spatial variability. Fertilizers are expensive and their indiscriminate use can damage soil health. Most of the fertilizers used in agriculture are non-renewable. Their judicious use is very important for obvious economic and environmental reasons. The project aims at developing an intuitive spatial platform for generating dynamic and site specific fertilizer recommendation for Rubber cultivators.
