The term Geospatial technology is an umbrella phrase associated with a range of various technologies which include remote sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographic Information System (GIS), information technologies, and field sensors, that are intended to facilitate the process of capturing / storing / processing / displaying / disseminating information tied to a particular location.
This present course curriculum offers an opportunity for the students to understand the basics of geospatial technology for developing an interest in the principles, practical uses, and resources related to geospatial technologies. With the exponential growth of Indian geospatial market, this initiative is intended to develop the pool of manpower trained in this particular subject.
This course will enable the students to get an insight into the diverse geospatial database concepts, creating and implementing of the same, GIS theory and spatial analysis, supplemented by extensive practical exercises. Also, it will help the students to acquire skills for further studies and to enter into the world as professionals.
