GIS Day 2025

 Delighted to share that NATPAC Scientists celebrated GIS day 2025 in association with KMEA Engineering College, Aluva with the conduct of One day workshop aimed at providing an Overview of GIS to both the students and faculty on 19.11.2025. It started off with a short quiz to guage the understanding of participants. Thereafter the technical sessions covered:

1. Basics of GIS

2. GIS - components, methods and applications 

3. Data types and analysis

The afternoon session involved hands-on training to faculty which provided a basic understanding about the coordinate system, projected coordinate system, creation of layers by digitization, inputting data into attribute table etc. Creation of map and its elements were also practiced for better representation/ visualizations in reports/ documents. Overall it provided a basic understanding to the students and faculty on how to work with GIS. Hopefully this has sown the seeds for budding students to build upon that has the potential to assist them in their future endeavors.
