Bhuvan, India’s response to Google Earth, will be launched in March 2009 and will provide high resolution imagery data of the order of five metres which would be of great help for real-time exercises, including disaster management and military operations…However, it is not yet decided whether the data can be put on the web as it could be misused. Some locations can, however, be blurred or blocked due to security reasons. “Bhuvan will be created by March next year. Then we will seek the government’s permission to put it on the web,” Pathan said.
