State of affairs- Actors sharing the geospatial the market

Shortfall

3000 per year – US

100,000 per year - India

Data or Decision centric ?

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

Some solutions

Corporate Exposure to students & placementsTell us success storiesAcademic and industrial research

Government Funding for capacity buildingTaping the talent

Elite organizations Sharing the knowledgeAcademic centers Market oriented education

Teaching and training methodsRight time to realize it’s a profession

Young Geo-spatialist Short summer/winter schoolsCurricula @ schoolsGeography to geospatial

- We shall overcome…

Good News
