• 50 YEARS of GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM
• A Visionary geographer, Dr Roger Tomlinson, affectionately called ‘Father of GIS’”conceived, developed and coined the Word ‘Geographic Information System(GIS)’ in 1962 for use by the Canada Land Inventary, changing the discipline of geography forever. Today, GIS is acknowledge as the most potent tool to the environment, earth’s resources and to optimally utilise them.

• Education itself is a dynamic notion. Geoinformatics has two basic parts Pure Geoinformatics and Applied Geoinformatics. Pure Geoinformatics is concerned with the fundamentals or Basics of Geoinformation Science which involves subjects on conceptual developments in the National and International context while Applied Geoinformatics is concerned with the Technology. In recent time, technology plays a pivotal role in teaching Cartography. With the advent of cyber technology, Applied Cartography has become the need of the present day Society. It not only helps in solving problems of Pure Sciences and Earth Science, but also helps in solving problems of Social Sciences and the Society at a large

For example, now INDIA's Population is 121 corer. We can prepare Demographic Structure out of this by using Geospatial Technology. Not only that, the need of food, Infrastructure and other facilities needed for our present day age-group of 10-15 years can also be yielded through Geospatial Techniques. Even after 15 years when this age-group will proceed to youth, what will be their needs that can also be projected using Geospatial Information. Hence, it is very essential to use the Knowledge of GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY to full fill the demands of the Society.

Cartography as evident now has a varied field and thematic maps have their basis in geomorphology .All geological,soil,hydrological,vegetation and landuse maps simply serve thematic information in the initial phases.For example,Hydrological maps,besides supplying information on surface and groundwater,geological formations which support the accumulation of water,also include data on the shape of the river basins,density of relief dissection,slope of the land and hence the irrigation requirements of the region can be ascertained.
NATMO’s Geospatial Technology
NSDI 12 New Delhi
With the changing times it is required that constant updating to latest techniques is to be done . This is necessary as the problems challenging us are now manifesting themselves in newer forms also. The emphasis now is how to reduce casualties in times of natural calamities, how to prevent entire croplands from being turned unproductive, how to enhance better crop yields to feed the increasing population, rainwater harvesting in dry areas, preventing runoff and retaining soil moisture. Cartography can be successful if the output not only saves costs but time as well.GIS laboratories are essential now both for land surveys and mapping. Establishment of Digital Image Processing laboratories not only generate credibility and authority to cartographic products but in the long run result in better policy making. The provision for establishment of Geomorphic Informatics Cell with Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) Laboratory will help in creation of a Geomorphic Database and National Data can be transferred, described and presented in National Spatial Data Infrastructure(NSDI) format.
NATMO’s Geospatial Technology

These may be in the form of : i) The concept of Geomorphic Atlas of India beginning from Village Micro-level unit which can be user oriented based. ii)Chronological Development of Geomorphic Zones ( Mapping and Interpretation) Keeping pace with the demands of modern policy makers and planners NATMO has geared itself to use the latest technologies available to bring about improved accuracy and authenticity in its cartographic outputs. With digitisation becoming widespread the incorporation of geospatial techniques are necessary

With the help of modern state-of-the-art technologies in the field of map making, NATMO has also transitioned itself totally to grab the maximum use of various geo-spatial technologies in its activities. Now, geo-spatial techniques have become the life-line for preparation of micro, meso and macro-level maps in NATMO. Almost in every phase of its activity, geo-spatial data and techniques are the most essential tools to the scientists and researchers in NATMO. NATMO has already moved from paper map to digital map. Hence, NATMO has and will ever have a pivotal role in the path forward into the geo-spatial space of the country. Some important steps towards that are added hereunder;
NATMO’s Geospatial Technology
NSDI 12 New Delhi
Accordingly, NATMO has planned its Path forward into the Geospatial Space as well. With the advent of geo-spatial technologies, now cartographers have the resources to use various geo-spatial data which are at their fingertips electronically. Thematic Mapping has a key role to play in organising geospatial data. Precise location and identification of geo-attributes of a terrain to facilitate their pragmatic utilization in support of utility installations which can be spread over thousands of square kilometere is possible through geospatial data systems. Normally ground observers have to physically travel to collect data and there is a limit to the amount of data that can be collected in a particular time. Geospatial techniques can inspect infrastructures more frequently, with higher density, precision and time.
NATMO’s Geospatial Technology
NSDI 12 New Delhi
NATMO is the largest and most efficient government organisation in the country which is using and still has ample scope to use geo-spatial space in micro, meso and macro-level mapping for effective planning and development of the country. II. Database is the most important source for effective planning towards the development of a country. Framing of National Data Policy, establishment of NSDI are some initiatives taken-up by the Govt. in this regard. But still they are not sufficient to mitigate all the requirements in this arena. As NATMO has been using geo-spatial techniques and has expert knowledge of its use; in the near future, NATMO can become the richest and most reliable provider of geo-spatial data-base.
NATMO’s Geospatial Technology

. Remote Sensing, GIS, and GPS techniques and their utilities rule the roost in this cyber-age. Our country is still not sufficient, though most capable in this sector, due to lack of proper monitoring only. If NATMO is entrusted and supported with appropriate infrastructure, it can become a vital source for catering geo-spatial data and other utilities which can be used for planning and development by the government bodies as well as the common people of the country. It can also impart training and support to different organisations, researchers, planners in effective use of geo-spatial techniques. IV. Issues related to Disaster-management, loss of fertile crop land due to land degradation and desertification, effective measures for environmental hazards and substantive steps for restricting pollution are the challenges to a developing nation in the present age. Use of geo-spatial technologies is the most effective and precise tool in this regard. Being a government organisation, NATMO can share its responsibility towards the above challenges by using its knowledge and resources in geo-spatial arena.

In recent times the spurt of interest in the planets of our solar system has opened up a new field of research. The surface morphology of the moon and the Mars are now being brought under scrutiny to determine their genesis. Thus planetary geomorphology is the new area for present day studies where geospatial analysis techniques can be utilized for resource analysis too. NATMO can definitely play a positive role here as a pioneer in our country for further analysis of such prospects using geospatial information of such locations.
NATMO’s Geospatial Technology

NATMO has already started its journey to turn itself to be the most important source in the field of geo-spatial space of the country and is also executing tire-less research and activities to that effect.

Thus, Mapping of any region can thus be considered as an important factor to carry out any investigation based upon areal qualities and analysis can be based upon the attributes gathered. Layers of information can be incorporated in a single map or in a particular theme based one that can be brought under scrutiny.

In the words of Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam, “We need to explore how geospatial technology can help the bottom of the pyramid. Creating a sustainable development model for the 3 billion rural people involves linking data, information exchange and proper dissemination."
