Abstract
India is a country well known for its "unity in diversity". India is not only rich in natural resources but also in natural languages spoken amongst the people. The natural resources in India such as land, soil, water, forestry, wildlife, the biological and mineral reserves are abundant. Alvin Tofler in his book on “Third wave” had envisioned a global village, which has now become a reality. Now geographical boundaries have little meaning and we have an international trade regime. As the trade and business are widening, the people have to migrate for expanding their business activities to compete with world market. In a large multilingual society like India, a regionally differentiated strategy based on linguistically cooperative environment with agro climatic regional planning which takes into account agronomic, climatic and environmental conditions, should be adopted to realize the potential of growth in every region of the country. The thrust will be on ecological, sustainable use of basic resources such as land, water, and vegetation; in such a way that it serves the objectives of accelerated growth, employment and alleviation of hunger. Machine Translation (MT) emerges as a catalytic agent in this process. Therefore, the need of integration of Automated Translation (AT) systems among various languages in the region with Geographical Information System (GIS) technology can provide a solution for sustainable development of the country cutting-edge the barrier of disparities among the people. Thus we acknowledge that the GISAT technology, adds the colors to lives resting the coffers of resources.
