Bhubaneswar: The Centurion University organised a geospatial workshop at its Jatni campus here, in association with PAN India (Trimble) on May 29 and 30.
Campus Director Prof. Jagannath Padhi and Dean SoET Dr Sujata Chakraborty inaugurated the workshop.
PAN India consultants Umesh Kumar and V Sharma provided hands-on training to the participants – comprising undergraduates, research scholars and faculty personnel — on advanced technology being used in various geospatial applications in the present global scenario.
Prof. Dr Ashis Kumar Padhi, from Utkal University’s Geography department, enlightened the audience on his experience in the current geospatial world.
Workshop convenor Dr Kamal Kumar Barik, HOD, Civil Engineering Department, Bhubaneswar campus, briefed about the utility of the workshop to students.
The point was made that to herald a smart and green India, the old orthodox, time-consuming and low-precision surveying method needs to be superseded by modern surveying technology such as Total station, GPS/GNSS, Drone and LiDAR, for better planning and management of geospatial domain.
