First Announcement and Call for Papers
Map India 2003 is the 6th annual international conference and exhibition on geographic information technologies like GIS, GPS, Aerial Photography and Remote Sensing. Though it primarily serves to Indian geographic community, however, over a period of time it has attracted considerable international participation. It provides platform for collaboration between India and rest of the world. Geographic information has been of utmost importance amongst all forms of information, which are critical towards planning and development of a nation. Maps play a pivotal role in a nation’s overall development and its strength can be assessed to a large extent on the basis of its geographic information generation infrastructure and ability to use it effectively at various levels.
Theme Theme of Map India 2003 is “g-Readiness ”. In order to understand the growth and advancement of a nation, it is important to measure and analyse the status of “g-Readiness” of the country.
