Welcome Post

Welcome to my new blog.

To begin with, I would highlight the objective of the blog briefly.

When I first ventured into the field of Remote Sensing and GIS, it was a period when the subject was treated as a tool or device for solving geospatial problems. Even then it had the clout of an academic discipline, which was overlooked by a lot of mainstream academicians. Even now I find it amusing when this rich multi-disciplinary subject is referred to as a mere tool. Nevertheless, I will make a sincere attempt to take the discipline to as many enthusiasts and practitioners of Remote Sensing and GIS as possible in a simple manner. The entire purpose of this blog will be to provide - 

• Document-based tutorials;

• Powerpoint presentations;

• Project development techniques;

• Dissertation guidelines;

• Book reviews;

• Sample test questions;

• Practical training (through youtube videos*);

To conclude, I would give a brief introduction about me.

• I am a Remote Sensing and GIS professional with 12 years of diversified experience in research and consultancy. I have technical expertise in Remote Sensing and GIS with specialized application in agriculture & soils. 

•  Academically I have been awarded a Ph.D. from Jadavpur University, Kolkata; M.Tech in Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) from Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun; and an M.Sc. in Geography from Bangalore University, Karnataka.
