Graduates / Post Graduates and researchers/scholars in, Geography, Geology, Agriculture, Forestry, Architecture, Town and Country Planning, Civil Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Community Medicine, Management, Ecology, Environmental Science and Management, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, can apply. Working professionals and senior and middle-level officials from corporate bodies, government departments, agencies, NGOs, local self-governments, and researchers and academicians from universities, colleges, and research/academic institutions can participate in the training as sponsored candidates.
The duration of the course is 5 months comprising of theory, practicals, and project work. There will be two batches in a year.
Candidates will be admitted to the course on a first come- first serve basis. Followed by an interview. Seats can be reserved by remitting the prior registration fee at the time of applying.
Deliberate exploitation of natural resources and excessive use of environmentally abhorrent materials have resulted in environmental disruptions threatening the life support systems. The human-centric approach to development has already damaged nature to a large extent. This has attracted the attention of environmental specialists and policymakers. It has also led to discussions at various national and international conventions. The objective of protecting natural resources cannot be achieved without the involvement of professionals from multidisciplinary areas such as Geomatics. Geomatics is a comprehensive term applied to the Geoinformation science and technology-the powerful combination of various spatial and data processing technologies namely, Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, Mapping and Surveying, Global Positioning System (GPS), Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and Geographical Information System (GIS). It has a wide range of applications in various fields including, natural resource management, utility management, urban and regional planning, and activities of local self-government.
The proposed course aims to give advanced research and corporate training, consultancy, and complete location-based solutions to the academic community, Government departments/local self-government, and students. The course is designed to provide sufficient knowledge and advanced training in the field of RS, GIS, and GPS. The theoretical and practical modules consist of fundamental concepts of remote sensing, digital image processing, GPS, GIS, database design, computer and ICT, information analysis, and modeling. The courses highlight various application fields like natural resource management, utility management, urban and regional planning, Land or urban information systems and municipal GIS, customization, and application software development. This is a hands-on course with more stress and emphasis on practical training on the computer with the required software packages and other types of equipment. The curriculum is designed to ensure depth in the area of specialization together with the breadth of exposure and intellectual enrichment and to prepare the students for high-level professional research and development careers in national laboratories, universities, ministries, colleges, research organizations, MNCs, administration, NGOs, and industry both in Environmental Science and RS & GIS.
The participants will be evaluated through internal assessment, final examination for theory, and viva- voce for the project work. Participants will be graded based on the marks gained and the successful candidates will be issued proficiency certificates.
