Why are UN maps distorting India's boundaries? UN agencies have repeatedly misrepresented India’s International borders, excluding most of Arunachal Pradesh and J&K, some databases marking them as “sovereignty unsettled.” Alarmingly, the World Health Organization has shifted the “disputed” boundary into the Assam-Arunachal state line. This isn’t a one-off cartographic error. From WHO’s “Disputed Area Map” to FAO’s base maps, Is UN inadvertently echoing China’s cartographic aggression?, depicting Arunachal as separate or detaching J&K with dotted lines. These maps appear in public documents, development reports, and sustainability assessments. Can the UN establish a geospatial framework to address boundary disputes and maintain neutrality, especially when one country aggressively shifts its claims to suit geopolitical interests?

On 3rd April 2025, a high-level meeting was held between Chief Secretary to the Government of Odisha and The Surveyor General of India (SGI) at Chief Secretary Office, Govt. Of Odisha. The senior officials from Survey Of India including Additional Surveyor General(P&C) and Director, Odisha Geospatial Directorate also participated in the meeting. The Surveyor General of India made a presentation focusing on the National Geo-Spatial Policy 2022 and its components consisting of the National Geodetic Reference Frame, Ortho-Rectified Images, Digital Elevation Models and Geographical names. The Surveyor General of India also highlighted the key National Geodetic assets established by the Survey of India in the state of Odisha. The Surveyor General of India further presented data from the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and National Hydrology Project (NHP). The Chief Secretary, appreciated the potential of the data generated during these projects in enhancing coastal protection during the time of calamities. The successful initiation of the NAKSHA pilot project in Khordha, Jatni, Baripada, and Jharsuguda was also discussed. The Chief Secretary appreciated NAKSHA project and expressed desire to include Bhubaneswar and Sambalpur in NAKSHA project. @DrJitendraSingh @karandi65 @IndiaDST #SurveyOfIndia #SurveyorGeneralOfIndia #GeoSpatialTechnology #GeospatialPolicy #NationalHydrologyProject #OdishaGovt #NAKSHA #OrthoRectifiedImages #DigitalElevationModel #NationalGeodeticAssets

#GeoSmartIndia | #InauguralSession | Dr. Pawan Goenka, Chairman of IN-SPACe, highlighted the synergy between space and geospatial technologies, noting how satellites provide critical data for navigation, disaster management, and more, while geospatial technologies transform this data into actionable insights, driving innovation in industries like logistics, defense, and agriculture. He remarked, “As the saying goes, ‘Data is the new oil,’ and today, data insights are the driving force of the knowledge economy. Integrating data across workflows is vital for every industry.” Dr. Goenka also emphasized the impact of the International Space and Geospatial Policies (2022-23) in deregulating the sector, fostering innovation, and boosting private participation. With over 250 space startups and $125 million in private investment last year, India is set to achieve ambitious milestones like the Chandrayaan missions, with the private sector playing a pivotal role in shaping the future. #SpaceTechnology #GeospatialInnovation #DataEconomy #SatelliteData #GeospatialPolicy #SpacePolicy #Chandrayaan #PrivateSpaceSector #InnovationEconomy #Logistics #Defense #Agriculture #DisasterManagement #DigitalTransformation #INSPACe #StartupsInSpace #IndiaSpaceAmbitions #GeospatialTechnologies
