At the Global Biodiversity Alliance Summit in Georgetown, Guyana, the Indian High Commission hosted a major technology exhibition spotlighting cutting-edge innovations from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
Held on the sidelines of the summit, the event emphasized India’s growing role in global sustainability through space and scientific advancements. The technologies on display addressed pressing issues like climate adaptation, agricultural resilience, resource mapping, and environmental protection.
The exhibition was organized in partnership with the Government of Guyana, underlining the deepening collaboration between India and Guyana in science and sustainable development. The Indian High Commission expressed gratitude to Guyana’s President for his continued support, noting that this initiative echoes Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to strengthening ties with nations in the Global South—including Guyana and other CARICOM members.
This event builds on PM Modi’s visit to Guyana in November 2024, where he participated in the 2nd India-CARICOM Summit and called for enhanced cooperation in innovation, especially the application of Indian space technologies in tackling regional challenges such as climate change and agricultural sustainability.
An expert ISRO delegation attended the summit to further international dialogue on biodiversity preservation. Notable attendees included G. Srinivasa Rao from the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), G.S. Pujar of the Earth Observation and Disaster Management Programme Office, and Dr. Sudhakar Reddy Chintala, head of NRSC’s Forest Biodiversity and Ecology Division.
This visit marks another step in India’s ongoing mission to share scientific expertise across borders. It underscores a commitment to joint problem-solving in key areas like ecosystem conservation, disaster preparedness, and sustainable agriculture—all with the power of space-based innovations.
