FRAMS is an AI-powered geospatial intelligence platform developed by NESAC. It is designed to enable real-time, data-driven forest governance. It integrates multi-source satellite datasets over 10 thematic layers including deforestation (2019–2024), tree gain (2000–2020), forest loss, burnt area, and land use along with ~500 vegetation condition layers updated every 15 days. Equipped with advanced analytical tools, AI-based alerts, and a mobile app for geotagged field validation, FRAMS provides actionable insights through its interactive dashboard. With automated alerts issued, it empowers proactive forest monitoring, rapid response to deforestation and fires, and transparent tracking of afforestation efforts, making it a transformative digital system for sustainable forest management in Manipur.
