GSI Director General Asit Saha stated that the Geological Survey of India (GSI) is researching to create a more sophisticated expert system and landslip forecasting model using artificial intelligence (AI). The officials said that the GSI would soon begin issuing operational landslide early warning bulletins for the Rudraprayag district in Uttarakhand.
Saha was speaking at a workshop held on Friday to commemorate the first anniversary of the National Landslide Forecasting Centre (NLFC).
"There is ongoing research underway to develop a more robust landslide forecasting model and expert system leveraging artificial intelligence (AI)," Saha said.
He also reiterated the institution's long-term vision of operationalising a nationwide Regional Landslide Early Warning System (LEWS) by 2030.

Saha commended the NLFC team for expanding its landslide early warning coverage — from 16 districts across six states at its inception to 21 districts across eight states in 2025.
He also highlighted NLFC's pioneering efforts in integrating global best practices into forecasting systems and the successful upgrades of the NLFC dashboard, Bhusanket portal, and Bhooskhalan App, enhancing real-time monitoring and public access to critical landslide forecasts.
