The Soil and Land Use Survey of India (SLUSI) established in 1958 under Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India is a premier institution in the field of soil and land resource survey in the country. The Organisation is engaged in conducting soil surveys of various kinds and intensities to provide sound data base for land based developmental programmes to the State user Departments and agencies. It operates soil survey from its headquarters at New Delhi , through four regional centres located at Bangalore , Kolkata, Nagpur , and North (NOIDA) and three sub centres at Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Ranchi respectively.

A remote sensing centre has also been established with the assistance of FAO/UNDP at headquarter during 1982 and acquired the advanced technology for soil and land resource mapping and management of spatial data. Subsequently the centre has been upgraded with an advanced SUN ULTRA-60 and SUNSPARC-10 workstation based computer system alongwith four SUNSPARC-4 workstations. The other peripheral hardwares includes Digitizer, Scanner, Tape drive as input devices and Electrostatic plotter, Thermal plotter, Pen plotter, Inkjet plotter, Bubblejet printer and Laser printers as output devices. The spatial database development is continuing with ARC/IFO (Geographic Information System), ERDAS Imagine (Image Analysis System) and Ingres (Relational Data Base Management System) software packages.
