Integrated geospatial platform “SAHYOG” rolled out by DST
An Integrated Geospatial Platform “SAHYOG” has been rolled out by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, to help in decision making during the present COVID-19 outbreak and support with area-specific strategies in order to handle the socio-economic impact in the recovery phase. It will also complement the “AAROGYA-SETU” mobile application for Contact tracing, Public awareness, and Self-assessment objectives. It is expected to bolster the public health delivery system of the State as well as Central Governments and facilitate the necessary geospatial information support to citizens and agencies by collecting the COVID-19 specific geospatial datasets via community engagement.
