The program targeted MTech students and BTech Honours students along with interested faculty members.
The resource person for the two day intensive training program was Er. Bibin Hezakiel V, a GIS Analyst. Er. Bibin was very dynamic and energetic and brought his real world knowledge and experience to create truly enjoyable and enlightening all day sessions. Ms Abhiya Abbas Mundol, our faculty member who is also an expert in GIS tools assisted Mr. Bibin equally enthusiastically and made sure that we stuck to the schedule to complete the work.

During the training, participants were introduced to the basics of QGIS, including its interface, tools, and capabilities. The training covered the basics of QGIS, including data handling, vector and raster analysis, map production, and spatial analysis. The hands-on nature of the workshop enabled participants to gain confidence in utilising QGIS effectively, exploring the potential of geospatial data in solving complex problems.
