	ITT2000(3): National Mapping of Science - India: Earth Sciences*
		Geological Survey of India (GSI) is found to be the most prolific contributor in all the three years.
		India lags behind China in almost all the sub-disciplines in terms of publications output except for four sub-disciplines in 1990, five sub-disciplines in 1992 and seven sub-disciplines in 1994.
		The study reveals that India is a major contributor in the filed of earth sciences and occupies between seventh to tenth position in the world in a number of sub-disciplines.

	The Hindu : India may lose control over 1 million sq. km. of ocean
		India may lose control over more than one million square kilometres of ocean because of the Government's laxity in providing the Geological Survey of India (GSI) with the latest equipment, including a ship.
		The large amount of data relating to the land patterns, geological details, mineral contents and topography that were available with the GSI was being made available to the public at large for better planning of both Government works and private enterprises.
		Speaking about the contribution of the GSI to the development of independent India, Mr Ravi Shankar highlighted the fact that many of India's premier Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil and Natural Gas Commission and the Central Groundwater Board were formed out of GSI.

		Geological considerations are not being taken into any account whatsoever while constructing huge buildings.
		Another eminent earth scientist and former deputy director-general of Geological Survey of India, Surajit Guha, also snapped fingers at the practice of overlooking geological considerations in India.
		Before starting any construction process in quake-prone area, comprehensive geological surveys should be carried out and buildings should be constructed adhering to the cannons of scientific scanning in the chosen spot.

	Survey of India maps: (Ir)rationale about restricted maps
		Restricted maps are such topographic sheets of the Survey of India (SoI) that are not sold freely and require permission from certain government departments (in some cases even the Ministry of Defence) for sale.
		The geological maps of the ‘restricted’ areas published by the Geological Survey of India (GSI) are also restricted because they are based on SoI maps.
		In the interest of not only geological investigations but of scientific research and overall development as well, it is urged that the Government remove the irrational classification of restricted maps, and make available freely all maps issued by SoI.

	saltrange
		W. Christie (1914), chemist for the Geological Survey of India, held that the Salt Range Formation was not of igneous origin, as proposed by Middlemiss.
		Around this same time, the Geological Survey of India and an oil company sent a team of geologists to carefully study the Salt Range Formation, and on the basis of their field observations they concluded that it was in normal position below the Cambrian Purple Sandstone and was thus Cambrian in age.
		Paleobotanical and geological evidence from the Salt Range in Pakistan suggests that advanced plants, including gymnosperms and angiosperms, as well as insects, existed in the early Cambrian, consistent with historical accounts in the Puranas.

	University of Michigan
		University of Michigan paleontologist Jeff Wilson co-led the team with Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago, Suresh Srivastava of the Geological Survey of India and Ashok Sahni of Panjab University.
		The team has named the newly identified animal Rajasaurus narmadensis, which means “regal dinosaur from the Narmada.” (The bones were found near the Narmada River in western India.) The new species will be described in the Contributions of the Museum of Paleontology of the University of Michigan (August 2003).
		Dinosaur skeletons are rare in India, in part because the terrain renders many of the key geological formations inaccessible to digging.
