Gati Shakti Virtual Conference 2022: A Giant Digital Stride in India’s US$ 5 Trillion Economy Goal
Express Computer, The Indian Express Group is pleased to announce an exclusive one-day virtual conference on “Gati Shakti” on 18th February 2022. “Gati Shakti”, as we know, is an important step for India to upgrade national infrastructure and multimodal connectivity, and it will play a significant role by incorporating the infrastructure schemes of various Ministries and State Governments.
This ambitious plan – according to the government- aims at “breaking departmental silos and institutionalising holistic planning for stakeholders across major infrastructure projects”. Once implemented, Gati Shakti shall be a platform where different departments shall come to know about each other’s projects. The initiative shall encourage multimodal connectivity which shall further facilitate the movement of “people, goods and services.” Reduced logistic cost and streamlined supply chain management will have a positive impact on competitiveness.
Key Topics to be discussed:
+ Impact of Gati Shakti on Indian economy
+ Best practices and learnings from large scale projects of the past and how this can be used for Gati Shakti
+ Role of technology in facilitating an integrated framework of infrastructure development which envisages a synergetic connectivity network between roads and highways, rail, ports, airports and waterways
+ How infrastructure projects can be quickly accelerated using emerging technologies (GIS-based ERP, using satellite imagery for monitoring projects and using integrated portals for project monitoring, ensuring timely clearances and flagging off potential issues)
+ Role of technology in improving the overall efficiency of logistics
