On the GIS path to Digital India

Digital India ? GIS ?

The notion of Digital India and GIS are both alien concepts for us. With this thought in mind, I get into my car and set the GPS to take me to a friend’s house in a locality that I had never been to before. As I cruise along following the directions of the’ lady’ who knows all the directions in the world, i.e. the GPS, I realize that GIS has invaded my life. I stop at a traffic signal and look at the GPS screen to find that this locality has a botanical garden, a mall and my favorite pizza joint. I quickly place an online order to pack a few for my friend’s children and pay with m credit card. By the time I reach the joint, I get a call from the joint informing my delivery is ready. I pick it up and reach my friend’s house as my ‘guide’ announces that I have reached my destination.
