The avallability of selimological data from regional and local network of stations maintained by different geophysical institutions in India has been presented. Although the accuracy.in the epicentral parameters of local earthquakes is far better than those for the regional earthquakes, the situation is far from being satisfactory for earthquakes near the Indian plate boundary. In spite of the improvements of network of seismological stations in the Himalayan region through the All India Coordinated Programme of the Department of Science and Technology on Himalayan Seismicity and Seismotectonics, the spareseness of data from the neighbouring countries and wide gap in Tibet is a major constraint. This could be overcome through regional cooperation fer which some mechanism needs to be evõlved. Such a mechanism will also help in quick data dissemination and exchange of information using high speed telecommunication circuits of WWW Programme of W.M.O. Since more and more selamological stations are being changed to digital type and a few wide band selsmographs will be developed in the region, the enormous flow of data could be exchanged and trans- mitted through satellites and super computers.
