News & Events

PARIKRAMA’06 an intercollegiate event scheduled on November 14-15, 2006 to kickstart co-academic Geoinformatics exchange among students, practitioners and industry. This would provide a platform to students for face to face interaction with the industry counterparts.
The event will comprise of paper presentation by students, technology presentations from the industry and lead project by students encompassing various application areas in Geoinformatics.
The participants and audience would comprise GIS practitioners, industry and institutes offering Master’s programs in Geoinformatics, earth sciences and Geography.

The Industry Academia Forum (IAF) was initiated in the year 2005 to inculcate a pragmatic approach and provides a platform for one to one interaction with the industrial sector and to have an inside view of the industry and environment. This forum has been started with the view to bring together the industry and academics to bridge the gap and find ways to compliment each other.

This Year IAF 2007 is scheduled on January 15th - 18th ,2007.

The detail of this proposed event is as follows

Day	Event	Timing
15th Jan 2007	Inaugural function	10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
	Earth Science Session	1.30 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.

One of the important spin offs of the space research is satellite based remote sensing which facilitates synoptic view, repetitive coverage and provides multispectral and multi resolution data.

Integration of remote sensing with Geographic Information system Technology has enhanced its capabilities in the areas of resources management. The application areas are increasing dramatically. It is massive task to transfer these new technologies to end-users for operational purpose. GIS are often seen as a multipurpose technology, which can satisfy the needs of a variety of users. The process of transferring this technology from laboratory to real world organizations is complex and problematic.
The training must provide users with sufficient knowledge to be able to handle geographic information as well as the computer technology.

In light of the above-mentioned scenario, Sinhgad Technical Education Society (STES) at it’s Sinhgad College of Science proposes to start a focused and dedicated, industry oriented Post-graduate training program in “Remote Sensing And Geographic Information System” commencing from the current academic year.

The requirement for such a focused program is an outcome of the realization of the need of the course that was derived from interactions we have had in various industry academia interactions across the country in last 2 years.
It is realized that GIS Industry represents one of the major growth areas in technology in the coming year and that the lack of trained manpower is seriously hampering the expansion of this industry.
