Session 1: Geospatial Technologies Supporting National Programmes
The ambitious goal of becoming a $5 Trillion economy can only be achieved by strategic and planned development and investments in various sectors fuelling the economy. A sound and robust Geospatial Infrastructure and access to accurate, quality, and timely data are essential for any business or government programme to succeed. This Panel will deliberate on the ‘how’s’ and the ‘why’s’ of leveraging Geospatial infrastructure and authoritative data for key national development programmes.
Session 2: Empowering State-Level Programmes with Geospatial Technologies
As a federated country, the collective economic growth of states is essential for the country to achieve its financial and social milestones. While states hold responsibilities for numerous functions across sectors, like water, local governance, land management, etc., their proficiency in utilising the power of Geospatial technology is not consistent and equal. To transform the planning, implementation, and monitoring of governance in Indian states, an all-in-one Enterprise GIS solution could offer state governments the benefits of authentic real-time information, instant communications, data sharing, scalable evaluations, and more across sectors like emergency response, urban planning, and management of natural resources, energy, infrastructure, and utilities. This session will focus on the potential of geospatial technologies for states and the strategies for deployment and maintaining them.
Session 3: Leveraging Cloud and IT Infrastructure for Geospatial Implementation
Geospatial data availability and utility have become more pervasive in recent times, demanding greater accuracy, precision, and quality, thus leading to the need for upgraded IT infrastructure across government and private agencies. This session will see discussions on the challenges and solutions around computational and data management technologies for Geospatial data, including advanced developments in the field of cloud infrastructure, big data, artificial intelligence, and more.
