Geospatial
applications are potent tools in the hands of decision
makers, government, corporate or ordinary citizen. It
empowers them to create interactive queries, construct
maps, analyze information vis-à-vis its spatial
attributes and use results of all these operations for
easy decision-making.
Resource planning, of nation as well
as business, is now unthinkable without using geospatial
information. The prospects of GIS applications for use
in utilities sector has brightened with Government of
India approving a central sector scheme for the Accelerated
Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP).
Fast track developments are taking
place in the Geospatial field and it has become important
for India to strategize Geospatial R&D and human
resource capacity building. On account of its commercial
appeal for such wide range of applications as well as
possibility of misuse in the wake of increasing security
threat, it has become very essential to formulate policy
on sharing of geospatial information as well.
Through this Conference, FICCI aims
to create a common platform for insight, mutual dialogue
and networking & collaborations amongst stakeholders
for developing appropriate Policies & regulatory
framework, applications and best practices of Geospatial
technologies in Utilities Sphere.
