The Department of Physics and Research Centre, Nesamony Memorial Christian College, Marthandam, in collaboration with Geospatial Campus, organized a one-day workshop on “Basics of GIS and Remote Sensing in Applied Physics” on 28 September 2026 at the Physics Seminar Hall. The programme was held from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with 26 students participating. Dr. Aran Castro, GIS Manager, and Mr. M. Sujin, GIS Analyst, Geospatial Campus, served as the resource persons. The morning session covered the fundamentals of Remote Sensing and GIS, including satellite data, sensors, spatial data, mapping, and GIS applications in environmental monitoring, agriculture, urban planning, disaster management, and land-use analysis.

The afternoon session provided hands-on practical exposure to GIS and Remote Sensing techniques, enabling students to connect theoretical concepts with practical applications. The workshop enhanced the students’ understanding of geospatial technologies and their relevance to Applied Physics and interdisciplinary scientific studies. The programme concluded with the distribution of certificates by Dr. C. H. Arun, Principal i/c, to the participants in recognition of their active participation.
