Amitabh Kant – CEO, NITI Aayog:

India’s geospatial sector has been largely neglected and devoid of any policy reforms for a long period of time.

The Govt has brought in transformational policy changes for geo spatial data & maps

New guidelines will serve as a foundation for a new geospatial revolution in India.

New geospatial guidelines will benefit all flagship programmes – Smart Cities, Digital India, Start‐up India, Make in India & smart agriculture – all have substantial geospatial components.

Self-certification would contribute to a vibrant & globally competitive ecosystem in India
