The dream of the digital India \, Smart cities can not be completed without the use of Geoinformatics technology. Almost no developmental project is complete without geospatial information and it will soon become imperative. The only limit is the acute shortage of skilled professionals. Therefore\, there is tremendous scope with accelerated growth and development prospects. The pervasive use in diverse disciplines ensures a wide variety of employment opportunities. The Government of India is taking numerous initiatives under Department of Space\, Department of Science & Technology (Natural Resources Data Management System – NRDMS) and others. Government/has also established National Centre of Geoinformatics to serve central & state govt dept across the country . Likewise many others initiatives are in process.” \nThe industry is rapidly adopting these technologies for efficient delivery of products or processes. Companies such as Reliance Industries\, Reliance Jio\, Lavasa Corp\, L&T\, Suzlon are using geospatial technology for infrastructure project management. Many IT companies are handling overseas projects based on Geospatial technologies\, these include\, Infosys\, TCS\, HCL\,Acenture\,Tech Mahindra\,Google\, iGate etc. In addition to these industry giants several midsize companies such as ESRI Inc.\, Intergraph\, Nokia\,Tom Tom\,Webonise Lab operates on specialized geospatial products. Many companies are in Insurance sector like WILLIS RE\,SWISS RE are using Geospatial technology in big way. These companies offer variety of opportunities as GIS analyst\, GIS managers\, Business development executives\, GIS software developers etc. \nJOB PROSPECTS\nIn Govt Sector Central and State government departments are using geoinformatics application. Central government agencies are under the Department of Space – National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC Hyderabad)\, North East Space Application Centre\, (NESAC Shillong)\, Regional Remote Sensing Centres (RRSC Kharagpur\, Dehradun\, Jodhpur\, Nagpur and Bangalore)\, Indian Space Research Organisation\, (ISRO Bangalore)\, Advanced Data Processing Research Institute (ADRIN Hyderabad) and Space Application Centre (SAC Ahmedabad)\, Defense Research and Development organization (DRDO)\, Department of Science and technology\, Ministry of Environment \, Ministry of Agriculture forest and Climate Change\, Ministery of Earth Science\,Geological Survey of India\, Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI) and Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) Apart of these many public sector unit have Geospatial Departments \n  \nVisit : https://sig.ac.in/msc-in-geoinformatics \n
