 Well, good afternoon everyone and greetings from ISRO. Well, at the outset, I take this opportunity to congratulate all the participants who are joining this hallmark event. Mapathon using Indian remote sensing data sets and open source solutions. I thank KICT and in particular IIT Bombay, Professor Kanan for giving us this opportunity and also collaborating with ISRO for this mammoth event. Well, as you may know that Indian Earth observation capability basically comprises of fleet of satellites providing valuable services for resource monitoring, infrastructure planning, cartography, large scale mapping, disaster monitoring, meteorology, oceanography and so on. And these satellites contribute immensely to the big geospatial data sphere by providing rich voluminous data. And these data sets are utilized to unearth valuable insights, information extraction and planning and decision making. Over the years, of course, ISRO has operationalized many national level, state level and region specific level operational applications basically to address the national imperatives as well as the fundamental priorities of the government. There are many examples like food security in terms of agricultural crop inventory. We provide the advanced forecast before the harvest, how much production will be there in the country in terms of food grains and also in terms of horticultural crops. Then we contribute to water security through water resource information system and providing the groundwater prospect information for the country. Similarly, forest working plants, inventory and monitoring of glacial lakes, contributing to climate. And there are many more applications including of course the energy sector which is very vibrant now. And also ISRO has deployed several geoportals, many of which you may be aware about the Bhuvan, Mozdak, Vedas and any SDR specifically dedicated to the northeastern region of India. These portals are basically delivering the remote sensing products, application and services and they reach out to user community. And these portals also provide wealth of data including the time series, satellite information, various thematic layers which ISRO has been generating over the years with the help of user community. ISRO places very great importance basically to partner with the academia and to work closely with the academia and the student community for developing innovative solutions and ensuring the best of the solutions for the problem. And I think in this regard, this mapathon which is a joint effort of IIT Bombay, ISRO and AICT, it will provide a platform to join hands in leveraging the potential of the Earth observation data from the fleet of Indian satellites, couple them with advanced technology open source solutions and provide a lot of tools which requires now the automation basically to address the timely delivery of many of the services. So you will come to know in the later part of today's talks that we have identified the 10 problem statements for the user community and particularly the students wherein we expect that they really utilize the potential of your data and also use their innovative skills and their technological skills to provide the problems, whatever you are given, they provide the best solutions for them. Some of them, of course, you know, we have selected the problem statements like you have the land use, land cover change. As you know, the land use is the basic planning unit for any planning, any developmental planning in the country, basically you need a land use map. So how you really automate them, how you really find out the change, how it has happened in the land use over the years. Similarly, how you automatically generate the flood maps because where are the disaster strikes. Our idea is basically deliver the information maybe within an hour. So how automatically you derive the flood layer from the satellite imagery. Similarly, how you address the locus problem which you have seen quite recently. We have the problem of air quality, particularly the residue burning in the northern area and the pollution in Delhi. There are many challenging tasks, but the idea overall idea is that you have a lot of information available from the satellites. We do also have the operational techniques, but how really we automate these techniques so that, you know, you run a particular algorithm or run a particular model and you get the output at the fastest time so that, you know, the information reaches the needy at the earliest. So I urge all the participants to make best use of these data sets which are available. You will come to know how these data sets will be provided to you from the ISRO Geoportals and couple them with your innovative skills and bring out the solutions. Of course, keeping the sustainable development goals in the view. So I will not take much time because you have many interesting, you know, talks to be covered. And particularly, Professor Penan will be talking about the QGIS and the Bepathon and also the FOSI, which you will be really utilizing those tools for developing the solutions. So I sincerely thank all the participants and wish that they really come out with good skills It is quite possible that once these skills are demonstrated, it is quite possible that many of those skills we would like to utilize and automate on our Geoportals in ISRO. So thank you very much. Thanks, sir, for the wonderful speech.
