    CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WHOLE TEAM OF ISRO.

    I am a fan of Maps and visit maps.google.com or wikimapia.org very often, almost everyday.

    Although I have not used Bhuvan yet but reading that I can see 3D mapping and Indian cities as close as 10mts, I am overwhelmed.

    I am Proud. We need to build a nation with lot of Intellectual Capital. Providing Services is also good for oureconomy but R&D and IPRs will hold the future for us And Lead the World from the front.

    Kudos to the Team! and Thank you very much.

    Regards,
    Parvez
