Shillong: Assam is using space tech to fix state problems. The Assam State Space Application Centre completed 60 projects in the last five years. This marks a massive spike in output for the agency. Officials finished 82 projects in the 32 years prior to 2021.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma pushed the update on social media. "Assam is leveraging science to find solutions to long-term problems. The Assam State Space Application Centre (ASSAC) has undertaken over 60 projects in the last five years across various avenues of mapping and forecasting to aid in government decision-making and service delivery," Sarma said.
The agency uses satellite imagery and GIS data to guide policy. It works with local departments to track natural resources and manage urban growth. Better data means faster infrastructure planning. The state also leans on these tools for disaster management and farm monitoring. This tech push aims to make services more efficient for everyone in Assam.
