CInI envisages to act as a single source of information for livelihood activities in the Central Indian Region. The main objectives are:

	To gather and document the processes and learning generated by the ongoing field projects and disseminates it to partners and policy makers.
	To develop state specific strategy and a detailed action plan
	To compile comprehensive database, research studies of related areas and portfolio of water-related technologies and practices which have been tested/implemented in the region, their design, impact, hindrances and replicability in other regions
	To maintain a database of government and non-government programs being implemented in the region, their focus, scale, impact and replicability and the list of experts /resource persons in the field of water and agriculture.

GIS based database for CInI districts: CInI had signed a MoU with Foundation for Ecological Security (FES) based in Anand to work collaboratively towards developing the GIS based database for CInI districts. The map of 107 CInI districts has been already developed. To improve the current database a new collaboration of CInI and FES has been initiated and is broadly categorized into four areas;

	Preparation of database for all CInI districts at district level and for focused States at block/tehsil level (for priority districts)
	Preparation of atlas for all CInI districts as a whole and for priority States/districts,
	Preparation of a detailed database for TSCP blocks at cadastral level and
	GIS support to the projects being implemented in Madhya Pradesh (Jhabua, Dhar and Mandla districts).
