Mizoram ENVIS Hub maintains a library at the Office where all data collected are placed for easy accessibility of all end-users.

3. Indian State-Level Basic Environment Information Data Base (ISBEID)

Indian State Level Basic Environment Information Database (ISBEID) is web - enabled software developed by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India under the Environmental Information System (ENVIS) Project.
