About the Conference

India aims to become a developed nation by 2047, aligning with its centenary of independence. Geospatial technology and emerging trends in Geography are pivotal to achieving this vision. Geospatial technology, which includes Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), enables precise mapping, monitoring, and analysis of natural and human-made resources. This technology supports sustainable development by addressing challenges like urban planning, disaster management, climate change, and resource management

Emerging trends in Geography, such as digital cartography, spatial data analytics, and artificial intelligence (Al) in geospatial applications, offer new dimensions to understanding spatial patterns and relationships. By integrating these tools, policymakers can devise strategies for smart cities, efficient transport systems, renewable energy projects, and agriculture

A multidisciplinary approach is essential for leveraging geospatial technology effectively. Collaboration among geographers, environmental scientists, data analysts, and technologists ensures comprehensive solutions for complex problems. For instance, climate adaptation measures require integrating weather data with land use patterns to develop region-specific strategies. Similarly, disaster resilience depends on real-time geospatial data for quick decision-making

Through the integration of geospatial technology, emerging trends, and multidisciplinary collaboration, India can pave the way for sustainable development, ensuring prosperity for all by 2047.
