Cartography involves creating maps by combining science, aesthetics, and techniques to effectively communicate spatial information. A bachelor's degree is typically required to become a cartographer, and some states may require a license. The field of cartography is growing due to increased globalization and the need to access large amounts of geographical data digitally. Cartographers work in a variety of public and private sector roles, and can earn an average salary of 3 to 4 lakhs per year in India. Several universities in India offer cartography programs.
