What you can do with GIS and Remote Sensing

I am here to share my knowledge about the GIS/RS field in general though there are plenty of information on net I think professionals are required as under

(a) Data Creators-Digitizers – level of diploma/degree holders who can operate software and create digital information.

(b) Supervisor-Digitization- who can organise, georeference and meet the data standards

(c) QC- Spatial Data- required to check the data accuracy, standards and clients requirements.

(d) GIS Analyst- Required to assess, evaluate, propose, program, manage and implements the GIS project.

(e) RS Analyst- Require to procure, interpretate, analyse imageries for the vector data creation, map generation

(f) Subject-Domain Expert- who understands the basics of sector like water resources, forestry, urban planning, infrastructure, disaster, health management, logestics etc has training in GIS or RS in some cases if helpful in project implementation.

(f) Programmers- industry requires programmers with C/C++, Java, C#, .NET or Linux platforms to implements various customized or complex GIS projects. There can be different levels of programmers depending on the tasks and team size required.

(g) Managers- Both at the technical or business development level is required to interface with the clients and service providers – persons with technical as well as managerial skills can come to this field.

(h) Sr. Management -COO, CTO, GMs with technical background, project management skills, implementation and execution experience can handle the tasks at any level.

However these are the placements in the fields whereas there are some companies who have made the recruitments strictly for the ME, Mtech, or other MCA or BCA have not fully understood the technology. The segments requires multi disciplinary team. Any one with proper training can be placed in mentioned positions with appropriate project planning and execution.

I hope students have understood what I mean to say. Guys there are opportunities we need to seek it. Pray you remain in India. we need solutions too !!
