About:
The Postgraduate Diploma in GIS and Remote Sensing is a nationally significant course that impacts the management of essential natural resources.
• The course covers the collection and analysis of geographical information data.
• This one-year PG Diploma is crucial for implementing government plans across various sectors, including agriculture, water resources, forestry, and ecology.
• The curriculum includes subjects such as agricultural science, geography, and satellite technology.
• The PG Diploma program equips candidates to research different geographical areas, collect and organize valuable data, and create maps with various angles and scales.
• GIS and Remote Sensing focus on gathering geographical data and securing it digitally.
• Students learn to monitor Earth’s surface events and obtain precise data on available natural resources.

Vision and Outlook:
• To provide foundational concepts and principles of Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS, along with their applications.
• To understand key GIS concepts and their application using Quantum GIS (QGIS), an open-source software package.
• To engage in interactive exercises with various ArcGIS tools, including ArcDesktop and ArcPro software.
• To learn to navigate Google Earth Pro, measure distances and areas, manage data, and create maps.
• To utilize drone technology and data processing with AGISoft.
• To conduct 2D and 3D computer-aided design using AutoCAD software.

Learning Outcomes:
GIS and Remote Sensing offer insights into the safety and security of infrastructures, allowing engineers to identify and address natural and human-caused threats. The visual information processed helps professionals observe changes in infrastructure and mitigate structural risks. Remote Sensing and GIS work together to gather, store, analyze, and visualize data from virtually any geographic location on Earth. Key applications include irrigation and soil moisture monitoring and management in agriculture. Developing skills in GIS can lead to diverse career paths in government, real estate, public health, crime mapping, landscape architecture, community planning, logistics, and more.

Key Benefits:
• Provides efficient data collection across various scales and resolutions.
• Enables faster data analysis compared to on-site collection methods.
• Offers extensive information from a single remotely sensed image, which can be used for multiple purposes.
