Geological Survey of India

The Geological Survey of India (GSI) is a premier scientific organization under the Ministry of Mines, Government of India, responsible for geological research and exploration. Established in 1851, GSI plays a crucial role in assessing and mapping the country's mineral resources, studying geohazards like earthquakes and landslides, and conducting groundwater and environmental studies. It provides valuable data for infrastructure development, resource management, and disaster mitigation. Using advanced technologies such as remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and geophysical surveys, GSI contributes to sustainable development and informed decision-making in the geosciences sector.
