#NirmanaShakti | It was a privilege to have 𝐌𝐚𝐣 𝐆𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐁𝐡𝐚𝐭, 𝐒𝐌, 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥, 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐄-𝐢𝐧-𝐂 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡, deliver a special keynote address on “Technology-Enabled Subsurface Intelligence for Safer and Resilient Infrastructure” at the NirmanaShakti – Viksit Bharat 2047 Infrastructure Series. Organized by Geospatial World, powered by @BentleySystems, with the @phdchamber as the associate partner, the half-day symposium brought forth critical conversations on building resilient infrastructure for India’s future. Maj Gen Bhat’s address stood out for its clarity and depth, highlighting some pressing challenges and opportunities: - The persistent disconnect between infrastructure creation and its long-term management, often handled by different agencies - The critical gap in awareness of subsurface asset locations, posing risks to safety and efficiency - Insightful parallels from military operations, where working across complex terrains and uncertain conditions is the norm - The urgent need for geotagging infrastructure to enable accurate data, seamless coordination, and safer execution His perspectives underscored the importance of integrating technology, data intelligence, and cross-agency collaboration to strengthen infrastructure planning and lifecycle management. We sincerely thank Maj Gen Rajesh Bhat for gracing the occasion and sharing such valuable insights that will undoubtedly shape future conversations around subsurface intelligence and resilient infrastructure. #NirmanaShakti #ViksitBharat2047 #Infrastructure #SubsurfaceIntelligence #Geospatial #DigitalTransformation #ResilientInfrastructure #BentleySystems

At the AEC Forum 2025, Srikant Sastri , Chairperson of the Geospatial Data Promotion & Development Committee (GDPDC), Government of India, highlighted how India’s National Geospatial Policy aligns with the new Digital Twin Strategy. He pointed out real challenges like traffic accidents, urban floods, infrastructure misalignments, and poor property tax collection that digital twins can help solve. The success of this strategy depends on three key factors: seamless data accessibility & interoperability, strong collaboration across government initiatives, and clear user education to prevent misinformation. Pilot projects have already shown the potential of bringing diverse datasets into a unified, real-time framework. He concluded with a call for #AI readiness in digital infrastructure to enable smarter urban planning and predictive solutions. The message is clear: digital twins are not just important—they are urgent. #DigitalTwins #Geospatial #SmartCities #AECForum2025 #DigitalIndia #SmartCities
