| Geological Survey of India(GSI), the premier earth science organisation in the
country, effectively shoulders the responsibility of providing vital earth science
information towards various developmental activities of the country. Apart from systematic
generation and updating of geoscientific knowledge, the functions of GSI encompass wide
spectrum of earth science activities such as geological, geophysical and geochemical
mapping, specialised thematic studies, ground and airborne surveys, marine surveys, and
geoenvironmental studies. GSI undertakes the responsibility of locating and exploring all
natural resources (except oil, gas and atomic minerals), the essential inputs for
industry, fuel and power etc. The thrust of GSI's activities are guided by the National
priorities and policy directions as a sequel to new National Mineral Policy and
liberalisation measures. With the changing national priorities, the functions of GSI have
also been moulded and diversified with addition of new disciplines to meet new demands and
challenges. For more information click
