GIS has been developed as a powerful technology for mapping and analyzing earth resources. Although it has been widely used as a mapping tool and well-known for its application in various fields of earth sciences, but it has emerged as a new subject with immense potentiality and opportunity in recent days. The Department of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System was established in 2003 with the view to cater the increasing demand of qualified and skilled manpower in this rapid growing field. It is one of the first Remote Sensing & GIS departments in West Bengal to start the course of Remote Sensing and GIS at Post Graduate and Doctoral levels. The Alumni of this Department have occupied responsible positions in India and abroad.
