4 State of affairs - Actors sharing the geospatial the market Shortfall 3000 per year – US 100,000 per year - India Data or Decision centric ?

5 Challenges Exposure to students Availability of datasets Standardization of curriculum A common ground National sustainable business plan Young Geo-professionals - Faced by educational institutes/universities

6 Some solutions Corporate Exposure to students & placements Tell us success stories Academic and industrial research Government Funding for capacity building Taping the talent Elite organizations Sharing the knowledge Academic centers Market oriented education Teaching and training methods Right time to realize it’s a profession Young Geo-spatialist Short summer/winter schools Curricula @ schools Geography to geospatial - We shall overcome…
