Problem Description:

The Forest Department Government of Madhya Pradesh administers about 94689 square kilometer of Forest area, which is one of the largest forest in the country. The Department has developed a comprehensive Geographical Information System which uses satellite imagery for making decisions. The department has procured the various satellite imagery from National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC). The Department is using these Images in the GIS for making decisions and for using them as base maps. The Department has limited manpower capabilities for utilizing the capacity of the procured images in making the GIS more useful from the management perspective. Thus AI/ML with integration to GIS & other ITC application can help and play a vital role in providing useful information to department to realign and update their work plan so as to achieve the maximum output with nominal efforts. Following are the areas where AI/ML can be utilized by MPFD.

1.      Forest Type & vegetation Identification.

2.      Plant Disease identification and analysis.

3.      Forest Produce Identification and measurement.

4.      Survey of new species of plant & wild animals.

5.      Identification & conversion of barren land into productive land.

6.      Ecological and biodiversity analysis.

7.      Skill development of Van sewak and foresters.

8.      Wildlife habitat control and management. 

 

Thus it can be deduced that with the use of departmental existing GIS infrastructure and AI/ML capabilities a whole lot of analysis can be performed for effective decision making and forest management.
