 Namaskar. Welcome to Krishnakanta Handic State Open University. In this introductory video, we are going to introduce to you a post-graduate certificate program in Geoinformatics. Geoinformatics is a technological domain that emphasise on subjects like remote sensing, geographic information system, global positioning system, etc. Geoinformatics is an emerging field that is concerned on location-based observations and decision-making for different sectors which depend on geospatial data. The post-graduate certificate program in Geoinformatics is a six-month certificate program. Here, I would like to say that any graduates from any university are eligible to be enrolled in this program. This program has been designed by senior professors from Guwahati University, Katan University and North East Hill University. This program consists four courses out of which three courses are theory and one is practical course. Each theory course carries four credits and the practical course carries six credits. This program in total has 18 credits. Dear learners, let us now discuss about the courses that have been offered by this program over a period of six months. The first course name is Fundamentals of GIS. In this course, the learners will be able to know about basics of geoinformatics, understanding maps, its projection in GIS, introduction to GIS, then database management system, GIS data types, and sources and nature of geospatial data. The second course is Basics of Remote Sensing and Global Navigation Satellite System. In this course, we will focus to basics of remote sensing including platforms, sensors and data products, then different types of remote sensing, image enhancement and interpretations, basics of global navigation system and GPS data and applications. The third course name is Special Analysis and Applications of Geoinformatics. In this course, we shall discuss about special data modeling, data analysis, geo-processing functions and tools, analytical modeling, image processing, its classification and accuracy, and applications of geoinformatics for two aspects like natural resources and environmental studies. The fourth and last course is Hanson GIS and Remote Sensing Software. There are 15 experiments in this course which are divided into three parts. In the first part, it consists the practicals of GIS and the second part consists the practicals on GPS and the third part includes practicals on remote sensing and image interpretation. So dear learner, you have got some idea about the courses included in the six month postgraduate certificate program in geoinformatics. I hope this introductory video will help you to know about the program and wishing you all the best and fruitful learning experience through this program of Krishna Kanta Handic State Open University. With this, I would like to conclude my introductory lessons. Thank you.
