National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) is conducting its annual User Interaction Meet (UIM) - 2018 to showcase its products and services useful for National Development and Governance to the Geospatial Industry, Academia and user community.

UIM - 2018 will bring together the Geospatial Industry and user community to share their success stories, experiences, while National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) shall update the user Community about the current and potential applications, new data products and services. This UIM-2018 provides a platform to understand the current needs of the Geo-Spatial Industry as well as User Community so that suitable data products and Geo-Spatial Solutions can be developed in near future with newer Missions.

The three-day UIM 2018 event expects participation from Scientists, Academicians, End Users from Government Departments and Geospatial professionals to network and exchange the views to understand the new domains for effective utilisation of Space Technology. This event also facilitates knowledge updation in application of Geo-Spatial Technologies along with ICT’s.

NRSC – UIM 2018 will be conducted during 17-19 January 2018 at Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), Hyderabad, in association with Geospatial World Forum and is being organized in partnership with about 40 international organizations representing the entire spectrum of geospatial community globally, including industry, public policy, civil society, end user communities, multilateral organizations, and the UN system.

Space4All: For Inclusive and Sustainable Growth

Today Geo-Spatial Technologies penetrated into Governance and several Departments of Government of India and State Government are successfully using them for Governance Applications. With the availbility of High Resolution satellite data, the Geo-Spatial Technologies in conjunction with ICT’s are extensively used for planning, monitoring, evaluation and control of welfare schemes including DBT’s. Space technology is used by Local Bodies for preparation of Developmental Plans, Infrastructure development and property tax collection in addition to updation of records.

NRSC developed several Geo-spatial solutions and deployed on Bhuvan for several Departments of Government of India, who are successfully using the same for planning, inventory of assets, monitoring and evaluation of progress of schemes for effective control.

Geo-Spatial Technologies demonstrated their potential for sustainable growth, socio-economic security and disaster risk reduction. It is relevant and the need of the hour for the Indian Geo-Spatial Industry to develop suitable Geo-Spatial Technology based solutions for the developmental needs of the country so that Technology reaches common man.

The research efforts of scientific community to understand our climate and to ensure socio-economic security play a key role to realise sustainable development in India by convergence of technologies.
