[Talk-in] [Draft for Consultation]: National Geo-spatial Policy, 2016.
Dear All, As we are looking through the draft bill, there seems to be some light here from the Department of Science and Technology (DST). They have formulated a draft National Geo-spatial Policy, 2016. Please see these: http://www.dst.gov.in/news/national-geospatial-policy-public-consultation-upto-300516-your-views-may-be-send National Geospatial Policy for public consultation upto 30.05.16. Your views may be send to bhoopsi...@nic.in The draft policy is made available here: http://www.dst.gov.in/sites/default/files/Draft-NGP-Ver%201%20ammended_05May2016.pdf Cheers, Sudhira. ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

Assessment of Training Needs in Remote Sensing for Conservation in India We are trying to understand the different training needs in the use and application of Remote Sensing for Conservation in India. It would be helpful if you can respond to the following questions. Thanks for your time and inputs! Dr. H. S . Sudhira (Gubbi Labs), Prof. Har i ni Nagendra (APU) and Dr. Rajan M. B. (NIAS) * Required Name * Current Location * Town/City State * Choose the status that best describes your current status. * - Student - Researcher (Doctoral/Post-doctoral) - Adjunct Faculty - Full-time Faculty Member (Assistant/Associate/Professor/Fellows) - Practitioner / Professional (including those with profit/non-profit organisations) - Other: Are you aware of the National Remote Sensing Data Policy? * - Yes - No Are you using / applying remote sensing for: * - Research / Academic purposes - Training - Practice / Generating reports - Policy Advisory - No, not using / applying at the moment - Interested to use it in the future - Other: What are the challenges in working with satellite remote sensing data in ecology or conservation? * - Access to high (spatial/temporal/spectral) resolution cloud-free datasets - Lack of trained capacity to work with satellite remote sensing data - Access to appropriate tools (software applications) - The data costs are too high - Other: Do you foresee capacity requirement of more trained human-power for working with satellite remote sensing datasets? * 1 2 3 Yes, there is a need for it No, there are many already Did you receive any training in handling satellite remote sensing data? * - Yes - No If yes, from where? How long was your training duration? - Certificate (< 12 weeks) - PG Diploma (> 12 weeks to 12 months) - Masters (> 18 months) - Other: Do you think there are adequate avenues for one to receive training to learn/work with satellite remote sensing data * - Yes - No Do you think that satellite remote sensing has been applied in ecology or conservation effectively? * 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree Strongly Disagree Is there any way do you think that can boost use / application of satellite remote sensing data in ecology or conservation? Please share any challenges of using remote sensing for conservation research. Never submit passwords through Google Forms.

[Talk-in] SoI / DST complain against Google.
I am sure most of you are aware and keeping track of this. Survey of India / DST takes a step on digital maps representing the country's boundary, files a complaint against Google! It will be interesting to keep a tab on this. More troubles to Google, as this comes after the Mapathon event! Here is the official word on this from their Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=894090357277177id=277739112245641fref=nf : It is observed that M/s Google Map is wrongly depicting external boundaries of India on maps hosted by them on different domains, namely http://www.google.cn/maps/@25.7377892,88.726647,4z and https://www.google.com/maps/@25.1367452,80.1073483,4z , which are not equivalent to Government of India authentication. The correct official boundaries of India has been shown at http://www.surveyofindia.gov.in/fil.../Correct_India_Map_1.pdf http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveyofindia.gov.in%2Ffiles%2FCorrect_India_Map_1.pdfh=WAQGS5vQhenc=AZNiarC7YaARtZIxN5apmQDyhCrncT0hQ421xHVoYOMJyElRbJHsUeVdEovbwRg31QZYnJ6Nlxdp-UCqmSLCX3ld8SB53waywyaF2gItaG0TdekJc3MYlcWOAa79FSP9FFg_KjEMmyIev-1WTmU3DOW9nPxYwx-2JM6D7QOUkFDVxw In this regard, on the instructions of Department of Science Technology, Survey of India has officially filled a FIR with SHO, PS Dalanwala, Dehradun on 12-12-2014 at 18:00 hrs requesting them to take appropriate legal action against M/s Google Maps for displaying incorrect map of India. ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
