ISRO , Indian space & research organization has launched Bhuvan, a satellite mapping tool similar to Google Earth and Wikimapia.
Bhuvan was launched on 12th August 2009.
Bhuvan offers resolution up to 5 metres and is said to be a competitor to Google Earth.
“Bhuvan will be able to give you an image from only 10 meters away”, isro spokesman said.

Bhuvan - Indian Earth Observation to compete Google Earth: Analysis
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has launched a national variant of Google Earth yesterday, named Bhuvan (means Earth in sanskrit). This feature provides satellite imagery of geographical regions all over India and is optimistic about giving a tough time to Google Earth (much talked about service from Internet search company Google Inc. that allows ordinary people to take a close look at most parts of the world on their computer screens, using satellite images and maps.). While most of the reporters were elated about the grand opening of a service for our own country, no one looked beyond the press release I suppose. But we did. And what we found was really something not to brag about, at least for now.
The Myth
Let me show you some excerpts from the leading newspaper agencies from India and Wikipedia to give you a better picture of what it is to be about:
Top space scientists were present at the launch ceremony at a workshop organised by Astronautical Society of India in New Delhi. Hyderabad-based National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), a part of Isro, had a lead role in designing and developing ‘Bhuvan’. It focuses on rural and thematic applications like wasteland mapping and terrain profile. It contains weather details like humidity levels. The new portal shows data which has been approved by the government of India. ‘‘Sensitive information has been kept out of the public domain,’’ said Jayaraman.
Bhuvan currently only offers images taken between one and three years ago even over India. It combines satellite imagery from various sensors onboard IRS (Indian Remote Sensing) satellites and transposes them on a 3-D globe. As it keeps updating its database with more recent and higher resolution images, Bhuvan eventually promises to offer real-time data and images.

Bhuvan will feature a zoom level of upto 10 meters while the Google Earth features a zoom level of up to 200 meters. The new ISRO Bhuvan will also feature a multi layer information mapping while the present Google Earth features a single layer information mapping system

Unlike Google Earth, the Bhuvan application will not be downloadable and will not allow users to host content in the near future. “We are not competing with Google,” said Jayaraman. A Google spokesperson declined to comment. Bhuvan is one project where high technology will benefit common people. In the current economic slowdown, if someone needs to analyze land for a project, the platform could be used and at no cost,” said Nag, a former surveyor general of India. Even in a village, if you need to analyse crop patterns, the images should be of high quality.
The Difference of Bhuvan and Google Earth in a Nutshell
- Google Earth’s Zoom levels up to 200 mt – ISRO’s Bhuvan claims to Zoom levels up to 10 mt
- Google Earth: Single layer information – ISRO’s Bhuvan claims to provide you with Multi-layer information
- Google Earth: Images upgraded every 4 years - ISRO’s Bhuvan claims that Images will be upgraded every year
- Google Earth: No alternate viewing options – ISRO’s Bhuvan claims that there are options of viewing on different dates
- Google Earth: Uses international satellites – ISRO’s Bhuvan claims to Uses Indian satellites
- Google Earth allows users to host content. ISRO's Bhuvan is only viewable

Fact sheet on the proposed new direct tax code
NEW DELHI - The following are some salient features pertaining to the new Direct Tax Code proposed by the government, for which a draft and a discussion paper were released by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee Wednesday:
What does it seek: The Direct Tax Code will replace the existing Income Tax Act that was enacted in 1961, which had replaced an earlier legislation of 1922 enacted prior to the country’s independence.
When will it be introduced: The government intends to present the relevant bill during the winter session of parliament, after considering and incorporating, if seen fit, the opinions on its provisions from the public. The government hopes it will become law in 2011.
The main purpose: The new code will completely overhaul and simplify the existing tax proposals for not only individual tax payers, but also corporate houses and foreign residents.
How will it help: The idea is to keep the provisions simple so that even an average taxpayer can understand the language, than having to go to chartered accountants and income tax practitioners. It will also introduce the concept of tax calculators.
Administrative reforms: The new code will also recast the powers of the Central Board of Direct Taxes, induce more transparency in decision-making and tune it to tax boards of countries like the US, Canada and Britain.
What can the public do: The finance ministry has uploaded on its website - www.finmin.nic.in - the draft direct tax code, a discussion paper, a comment on the code and what rating people would like to give to it.
