Moderated by ππ¬π’π πππ‘π, Director General, Geological Survey of India (GoI), the session delved into the pressing challenges of climate change and disaster management, emphasizing the role of integrated data platforms and practices:
@agendra, Managing Director,
@EsriIndia, highlighted the shared global challenges of pollution, population growth, and resource scarcity compounded by climate change. He emphasized the role of geography as a scientific framework for organizing and integrating data to uncover patterns, relationships, and the complexities of our world.

He shared proactive measures, including tough decisions like demolishing nalas, to tackle water logging and interconnected lake systems. With Hyderabad experiencing over 144 waterlogging points, he stressed the urgent need for managing rainfall-induced chaos.
Vishnu Chandra, Senior Advisor, πππ, GoI, shared the governmentβs focus on reducing data errors and improving efficiency. He emphasized that Earth Observation (EO) Data as a Service is transforming infrastructure projects, driving policy reforms, and fueling digital transformation. He also mentioned that while the creation of value-added use cases across sectors is ongoing, the lack of large-scale data and the challenge of obtaining high-resolution data remain significant hurdles.
This session provided crucial insights into leveraging geospatial data and local practices to build resilience against climate challenges.
