On 28 September 2024, two of our teachers from CBSE attended an orientation programme at CESS in Begumpet. The agenda of the orientation session was to discuss about the extensive use of Geo spatial Technologies in future.
This year, the 25th Anniversary of GIS day will be celebrated world over on 21 November 2024. GeoMap Quiz Hyderabad is part of the Worldwide celebrations.
Some of the topics discussed at the session were importance of BHUVAN, which is the new navigation App, Map GPT, different GPS systems around the world (US - GPS, EUROPE - GALILEO, INDIA - NAVEX), GIT (Geo information technology), Geographical information (GIS), Digital maps, Photogrammetry/ LIDAR, Global positioning system, Laser scanner, Laser ranger etc.
The eminent speakers spoke on how GIS analytics will be adding a new perspective to data analysis and how Artificial intelligence GIS such as MAP GPT and locational intelligence will drive applications in future.
They also added that these are exciting times for the mapping/ Geographic information System (GIS) Sectors. With India poised to become the third largest economy, resource management will be a key factor and therefore, it is imperative that school students are imparted spatial learning at an early stage.
It concluded with a request to the attendees that students are encouraged to enrol for GeoMap Quiz, the preliminary round for which is expected to be held between 18 and 23 November 2024.
