[OSGeo-Discuss] Report of the First G20 Education Working Group Meeting

[Suchith Anand via Discuss]

Dear colleagues


The theme of India’s G20 Presidency - “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” or “One Earth · 
One Family · One Future” - is drawn from the ancient Sanskrit text of the Maha 
Upanishad. Essentially, the theme affirms the value of all life – human, 
animal, plant, and microorganisms – and their interconnectedness on the planet 
Earth and in the wider universe.


Details at https://www.g20.org/en/


The summary of the First G20 Education Working Group (EdWG) Meeting is 
available at

https://www.g20.org/en/media-resources/press-releases/february-23/edwg-meetings/


I am happy to share that Indian Institute of Technology Madras (where I worked 
for sometime many years back and got opportunity to do my research in 
Geospatial Science) hosted the seminar of Digital Technology as part of the G20 
Education Working Group Meeting. I will always be grateful to all amazing 
colleagues at IIT Madras who helped me during my time working there.


I am grateful to all working for making education opportunities available for 
everyone.


Best wishes


Suchith
