The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has announced an initiative titled 'Sangam: Digital Twin', inviting expressions of interest (EoI) from a diverse range of stakeholders including industry leaders, startups, MSMEs, academia, and innovators.
This initiative aims to revolutionize infrastructure planning and design by leveraging Digital Twin technology to create virtual replicas of physical assets, enabling real-time monitoring, simulation, and analysis.
Digital Twin technology has emerged as a transformative solution, allowing for experimental iterations and feedback loops to adapt to changes effectively, ultimately leading to optimal outcomes.
The Sangam initiative will be executed in two stages, commencing with an exploratory phase focused on creative exploration and clarity of vision, followed by a practical demonstration of specific use cases aimed at generating a future blueprint for scalable strategies in infrastructure projects.
The backdrop of the initiative is set against the backdrop of significant technological advancements witnessed over the past decade, particularly in communication, computation, and sensing technologies.
Sangam seeks to harness the power of 5G, IoT, AI, AR/VR, AI-native 6G, Digital Twin, and next-gen computational technologies to reshape infrastructure planning and design collaboratively.
"Sangam: Digital Twin embodies a collaborative effort to break silos and engage in a whole-of-nation approach towards infrastructure innovation. By bringing together stakeholders from various sectors, including public entities, tech giants, startups, and academia, Sangam aims to bridge the gap between conceptualization and realization, driving groundbreaking advancements in infrastructure",Ministry of Communications elaborated.
The Ministry also asserted that the initiative is aligned with global movements towards smart infrastructure and leverages India's geospatial leapfrog to position the country as a leader in digital infrastructure and innovation. By encouraging a holistic approach to innovation and emphasizing the value of unified data and collective intelligence, Sangam aims to address societal needs for efficient, effective, and sustainable development.
Key objectives of the Sangam initiative include demonstrating practical implementation of innovative infrastructure planning solutions, developing a model framework for facilitating collaboration, and providing a future blueprint for scaling successful strategies in infrastructure projects.
Department of Telecommunications invites industry pioneers, startups, MSMEs, academia, innovators, and forward-thinkers to pre-register and actively participate in Sangam's outreach programs.
