Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah inaugurated the new Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre (KSRSAC) facility on Thursday at Doddabettahalli, a government press release said.
The facility named as "Doora Samvedi Bhavana" can accommodate 200 scientists and administrative staff.
The chief minister also launched the Geographical Information System (GIS) portal K - GIS which will provide data and map services to various departments of Karnataka governments. The database has 54 GIS layers, the release said.
