NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said that data is an integral part of Digital India and the process of data mapping is the fundamental part of all aspects of human society.
Kant said, "Data is an integral part of Digital India, be it urban planning, navigation, logistics and infrastructure... we need the mapping.”
The Central government has released a new landmark 'geospatial bill' with an idea to spur investment, innovation and geospatial technology and mapping content which will push investment in a vast range of areas and will accelerate the growth.
Kant said that the most important feature of the geospatial bill is "it opens up for the availability of the data".
The bill states that there is no restriction on the collection, preparation, generation, dissemination, storage, publication, updating and digitalization of the geospatial data and map within the territory of India.
