NEW DELHI, NOV 26, 2024: POLICYMAKERS, experts and industry leaders came together to discuss ways to advance India's geospatial sector in alignment with the National Geospatial Policy (NGP) 2022 at the National Workshop on Strengthening the Geospatial Ecosystem yesterday at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.

The workshop organised by the Survey of India (SoI), the National Mapping Agency under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), featured extensive discussions on key aspects of geospatial development.

"The National Geospatial Policy 2022 is not just a government initiative; it is a collective responsibility. Every citizen, every institution, and every industry have a role to play in realizing the promise of this policy. As we embrace the power of geospatial technologies, let us work together to ensure that the benefits are felt by all," said Secretary DST, Professor Abhay Karandikar.

"The focus now should be on working together, reducing duplication and cross-collaboration in Geospatial schemes. Avenues of collaborative funding should be sought out in the larger interest of the nation," said Hitesh Kumar S. Makwana, Surveyor General of India.

Participants explored the collaborative roles of central ministries and state governments in implementing NGP-22 to build a robust geospatial ecosystem. The event also highlighted the impact of Operation Dronagiri, launched on 13th November 2024, as a pioneering initiative leveraging geospatial technologies to address challenges in agriculture, infrastructure, transportation and livelihoods. The initiative is a step towards positioning India as a leader in geospatial innovation, driving economic growth and sectoral development through data-driven solutions.

The workshop laid special focus on the challenges and strategies for establishing a uniform and modernized National Geodetic Reference Frame to support integrated services and sustainable development. Discussions also addressed the importance of capacity development in the geospatial sector through curriculum standardization, skill-development programs and cutting-edge research initiatives.

The workshop in which Manoj Joshi, Secretary Department of Land Resources and Srikant Shastri, Chairman GDPDC participated, served as a significant step toward realizing the vision of NGP-22, fostering innovation, economic prosperity and technological leadership.

It reinforced India's commitment to becoming a global leader in the geospatial sector by building a collaborative ecosystem involving government, academia and the private sector.
