Sanjeev Sanyal On Indian Economy: Observe Changes In India Through Satellite And Geospatial Data

The Economic Survey 2022 released on Monday reverted to a single volume after eight years, as the earlier two-volume format was way too “unwieldy”, Principal Economic Advisor Sanjeev Sanyal said in his introductory remark. He also said that theme-based volume-one was not adequately linked with the sector-specific analysis.

It was also felt that the thematic chapters of Volume 1 were not adequately linked to the sectoral chapters of Volume 2, Sanyal said adding that it reverts to a single volume plus a separate volume for the statistical appendix--demonstrates the use of satellite and geo-spatial images to gauge various economic phenomenon – urbanization, infrastructure, environmental impact, farming practices and so on.

The government in its Economic Survey 2021-22 talked about the usage of satellite and geospatial data and shared satellite pictures showing how India looked in the night in 2012 and 2021. "The satellite pictures showing the 'Night-time Luminosity' show the electricity usage and supply has spread across the country," Principal Economic Advisor Sanjeev Sanyal said.
