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.
