Esri India to set up Geospatial Excellence Centre at ISM, Dhanbad

Esri India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with TEXMiN Foundation to set up a Geospatial Excellence Centre at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad.

The TEXMiN – Esri Geospatial Excellence Centre at IIT (ISM), Dhanbad will focus on research and innovation in spatial analytics & remote sensing for mining and exploration.

Since the business of mineral exploration covers large expanses of land and deals with abundant data, location-based information is key to successful extractions. GIS plays an important role in the value chain of earth sciences and mining, starting from exploration to exploitation of mineral resources and finally to restoration.

Knowledge of GIS enables mining professionals to explore and calculate economic potential, manage risk, conduct environmental assessments, and analyze other concerns effectively and accurately.

As a result of this collaboration, Esri India will enable Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining Foundation (TEXMiN) with GIS technology for establishing the Geospatial Excellence Centre.
