In emerging technology paradigm, "Geographical Information System (GIS)" has emerged as powerful tool which has potential to organize complex spatial environment with tabular relationships. The emphasis is on developing digital spatial database, using the data sets derived from precise navigation and imaging satellites, aircrafts, digitization of maps and transactional databases. The power and potential of GIS is limited only by ones imagination. The enormous demand for the storage, analysis and display of complex and voluminous data has led, in recent years, to the use of Geographic Information Systems for effective data handling and also for analyzing and geographically transferring the information around the world. NIC offers its users, GISNIC, a software designed to provide a complete state-of-the-art desktop GIs solution for retrieval, projection, transformation and analysis of both spatial and non-spatial data, so that the User is able to manipulate and manage coordinate ( locational ) and attribute (thematic) data and produce thematic maps as well as tabular reports.
