Executive
Summary
Srijan Sanchar through
its Geo-Coordinate Foresight Engine v4.0
represents a transformative approach to hyperlocal planning and development,
enabling precise, data-driven insights for areas as small as 0.05 km or up to
city-scale radii. The approach
democratizes foresight, turning hyperlocal challenges into collaborative
triumphs and positioning India as a leader in aspiration-fueled, AI-enabled
development . By integrating geospatial data, national trends, and community
aspirations captured through multi-modal sources (e.g., social media, videos,
and local conversations), it empowers grassroots initiatives to drive sustainable
growth. Its relevance lies in addressing the limitations of top-down planning,
making it highly applicable to diverse sectors like urban resilience, rural
agriculture, and economic revitalization. Ultimately, it contributes to better
management by fostering inclusive, aspiration-aligned strategies that enhance
local agency, reduce risks, and unlock opportunities—potentially adding
trillions in value to India's economy through targeted, equitable development
by 2035.
Relevance
of the Approach
In an era where India's urban
population is projected to reach 600 million by 2030 and rural areas face
climate vulnerabilities, traditional broad-scale planning often overlooks
hyperlocal nuances, leading to inefficient resource allocation and community
disengagement. This engine's relevance stems from its ability to zoom into
specific coordinates (e.g., a 3 km radius around 13.03°N, 77.71°E in
Bangalore's IT corridor), blending real-time geospatial metrics—like elevation,
flood zones, and infrastructure—with predictive AI to generate actionable
futures. It aligns with global shifts toward "bottom-up" development,
as seen in UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasizing inclusive cities
(SDG 11) and climate action (SDG 13). By prioritizing local voices over generic
data, it ensures relevance to India's diverse contexts, from flood-prone
Bangalore lakes to drought-hit Uttar Pradesh farmlands, making foresight
accessible and adaptive rather than rigid or elite-driven.
Applicability
Across Sectors
The engine's flexible
coordinate-based input makes it universally applicable, requiring only a
latitude, longitude, and radius to analyze any location—ideal for India's 1.5
billion potential micro-grids or global extensions. It shines in sectors where
hyperlocal precision is critical:
Its low-barrier setup (no
specialized hardware needed) suits governments, NGOs, startups, and
communities, with scalability from single plots to city districts.
Contribution
to Better Management and Development of Hyperlocal Areas
Driven by local initiatives and
aspirations, the engine transforms passive data into empowered action,
contributing to sustainable, equitable development in several ways:
In essence, this approach democratizes
foresight, turning hyperlocal challenges into collaborative triumphs and
positioning India as a leader in aspiration-fueled, AI-enabled development.
