Map India 2004



Dr Narayanan gave a lucid welcome address touching upon the significance of the conference for users, industry, government and everyone. He emphasized upon the term 'geospatial democracy' and interpreted that it is not only is about the right to information but also about the freedom of expression and dissemination. This was followed by a brief but noteworthy inaugural address by Kiran Karnik. The NASSCOM president admitted that geospatial sciences in NASSCOM's realm fall under 'IT enabled services' and perhaps is not the right connotation to the discipline. He reminded the floor that about 100 billion USD export is attributed to this industry. He mentioned that the need for services and data in the spatial sector is abundant and perhaps far ahead of what the market can supply or adhere to. He pointed out that government has been slow and tardy in many respects in the geospatial domain and artificial barriers that restrict the full utilization of technology are a concern.

Dr Nag followed with a keynote address after the lamp lighting ceremony. He briefly discussed the initiatives of the Survey of India and the government in terms of unshackling maps and easing access to data for general public. The occasion ended with a vote of thanks by Ravi Gupta.
