National Symposium on Geomatics for Digital India

Digital India is an initiative of Government of India to integrate the government departments and the people of India by utilising Information Technology. It aims at ensuring that the government services are made available to citizens electronically by reducing paperwork. It is an umbrella programme co-ordinated by the Department of Electronics & Information Technology and implemented by all Government Departments. The Programme is centred on three key areas i.e. Digital Infrastructure as a utility to every citizen, Governance & Services on demand and Digital Empowerment of citizens. Geomatics plays a key role in providing technology for planning and GIS based decision making and is an integral part of Digital India programme. Space based communication, navigation and earth observation technology developed by the Indian Space Programme, coupled with developments in GIS and information and communication technology plays a major role in achieving the targets of Digital India Programme. The Symposium shall focus on various themes related to applications of geomatics in various key areas defined under the Digital India Programme.
The Indian Society of Geomatics (ISG) and the Indian Society of Remote Sensing (ISRS), the two premier professional societies dedicated to promotion and dissemination of GIS & RS in India, conduct annual conventions and joint national symposiums in tandem providing excellent opportunities to the scientists, teachers and students for presenting their research findings, updating their knowledge base and interacting with experts and peers. Continuing this rich tradition, a national symposium on “Geomatics for Digital India”, is being organized by ISG and ISRS in the beautiful pink city of Jaipur (Rajasthan) during 16-18 December 2015 (Wednesday to Friday).
