The Inter-University Centre for Geo-Spatial Information Science and Technology is an inter-institutional, inter-disciplinary centre, which envisages geo-information management and capacity building in geo-spatial information infrastructure. Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Photogrammetry play a key role in the field of information technology and are recognized worldwide as important tools for sustainable development planning and implementation. The use of Geo-Information Science and Technology, fundamental to all the disciplines which use data identified by their locations, has gone beyond the traditional boundary of defense infrastructure, utility services and land record management. It is now being increasingly recognized worldwide as an important tool for business intelligence and personal utility.
