The Dept. of Science and Technology, Government of
India, is
planning to
invest in developing further their GIS called Gram
that runs on
Windows.
They are also planning to develop support for local
level planning,
which included a decision support system. Much of what they are
thinking
of is possibly available in the Free GIS GRASS. I
think FSF should
point
this out to the DST and garner support for further
developing GRASS,
if
required, for local level development purposes. An
extract from
DST's
report is given below:
This is perhaps the tragedy that has been afflicting the project(s)
since inception. i feel that it'd be better if their particular needs
are identified and then FSFI does provide a comprehensive case for
GRASS. thanks for bringing this to the notice of the members.
