Presently, Survey of Bangladesh is preparing 1:25,000 scale Digital Base Maps for all over the country. We uses Digital Aerial Photographs for the preparation of maps. We have Digital Photogrammetry, Cartography and GIS units. We are using the state of the art hardware and software. Our geodetic unit has introduced 6 permanent GNSS stations in the country. More GNSS stations will be established to densify to get better positional accuracy. We are taking technical support to strengthen our technical know- how from the friendly countries.
The Forum will make open the door of cooperation in case of Geospatial data sharing methodology and uses. I hope, the Hyderabad Geospatial World Forum will be immensely beneficial for me and my organization. I wish a great success of the Forum.
