The identification of sites for Amrit Sarovars is primarily facilitated by the Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N), which uses geospatial technology to generate lists of potential sites. District authorities, including local stakeholders and officials, are also involved in the site selection process.
