Empowering India through Geospatial Technologies

TARGET GROUP: EMPOWERMENT

OBJECTIVES

· To find out the feasibility of Geo-spatial technology and its role in the empowerment of the Indian society and entrepreneurship opportunities.

SUMMARY

As India progresses towards high industrialization and technological advancement, decision makers will continue to face several challenges for effective governance such as rapid growth in population, environmental concerns, resource shortages and security issues. India will require an efficient and advanced information and knowledge regime to brace itself for the envisaged economic growth. Geospatial technologies, with their unique ability for acquisition, integration and analysis of geographically-referenced spatial information, have in recent times been recognised as an effective tool for planning, management and decision making locally and globally. Geospatial technology broadly includes mapping and surveying techniques, remote sensing, photogrammetry, cartography, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). With its unique ability for acquisition, integration and analysis of geographically referenced spatial information, this technology has in recent times been recognised as an effective tool for planning, management and decision making locally and globally. Geospatial technology has made inroads across various sectors in the public as well as private domain in India. The major sectors using geospatial technology in India are: agriculture, telecommunications, oil & gas, environmental management, forestry, public safety, infrastructure, logistics etc.
