Information Technology, as a
cross-cutting frontier of knowledge,
has opened several new
vistas of applications for daily
needs of the civil society. One of
them is Geographical Information
System GIS technology, which is rapidly
becoming a catalyst for several transformational
changes in the world; mainly in
natural resource management, planning,
decision-making, governance and citizen
engagement services. While e-Gov is the
current paradigm, the future lies in
embedding GIS in governance and
service delivery and in establishing g-Gov
Geospatial Technology as the next frontier.
GIS has been in use in India for more than
two decades and forms the core of several
mission critical projects in the Government
and private sector. However, the deployment has been at departmental level with minimal integration, resulting in creation of silos and restricting the
benefits.
