Explanation:

The registry will serve as a source of authenticated information.
NDR will require all agencies state, private and academic, collecting and storing geospatial data to provide details of data they store.
The registry aims to create a catalogue that will prevent duplication of data sets and to help users locate the right agencies to source information.
It will be a ‘meta-data’ repository to only inform about the nature of the data a service provider has. It is not actually a source of geospatial data.
It can operate across a wide range of formats and can source information automatically.

Thus, Survey of India can vet it for accuracy and see whether it contains information that contravenes national security.
