e-PG Pathshala: platform for geo learners

    e-PG Pathshala is a formal initiation from the Ministry of Education, Government of India to disseminate knowledge through the use of ICTs which is under the  National Mission on Education through ICT (NME-ICT) executed by the University Grants Commission of India. With quality courses being the only requirement for the development of the education system, e-PG Pathshala hosts a number of courses, studying materials in the video formats to be watched by learners. All the learning materials come from university professors and working experts around the country.

    The other advantage is that the resources are online, freely available to anyone. This is

beneficial to students from other countries where similar learning initiatives are rarely available.

Even if such platforms are developed, there are a plethora of courses in rarer formats. For us,

learners of remote sensing, GIS and its applications, e-PG Pathshala is a boon in disguise.

PG stands for Post Graduate but it will assist any graduate, undergraduate, or any student or

learners alike. 

Anyone can check the site: https://epgp.inflibnet.ac.in/Home. 

    We have selected the following topics which are likely to interest remote sensing learners.

Since this blog is followed by geoscience enthusiasts, there are other courses that can be

helpful for them as well. 

The  course contains the 

(i) text material in pdf, 

(ii) presentation slides and 

(iii) video materials

    Some courses might be with all three materials while some with one or two materials.

The following lists are the selected subjects with the parts within them and 

the numbers within the brackets refer to the number of chapters.

  

    If you are only searching for remote sensing and GIS related materials there are mainly two

courses within the two main subjects highlighted among the lists. Go to the main page and search for the courses.

----------

This book is helpful for the beginner learners for SNAP sentinel toolbox.

Contains 5 chapters: first chapter deals with the installation guides; second, third and third chapter deals with basic raster tools within the software, optical and radar data processing respectively; and the final chapter with the automation of the process.

The book has only 46 pages making it very handy, crispy and easy to follow making it less bulkier. Although the major explanations of each step is lacking and real cases are not so fully provided, this is the reason this book presents the necessary steps for the early learners as a handy book. Definitely download for the early learners, or for others to revise and view it once.
