Remote Sensing and GIS (Geographic Information System) are revolutionary technologies that have transformed geographical analysis, mapping, and decision-making. Remote Sensing involves capturing data about the Earth’s surface using satellites, drones, and aerial sensors, enabling large-scale environmental monitoring. GIS integrates spatial data with advanced analytical tools to create digital maps and models used in urban planning, disaster management, climate change studies, agriculture, forestry, and natural resource management.

With increasing applications in UPSC, SSC, State PSC, GATE, UGC NET, BA, MA and other competitive exams, understanding these technologies is essential for geography and environmental science students. Our Remote Sensing and GIS Notes provide a comprehensive guide covering principles, techniques, applications, advantages, and recent developments in geospatial technology. Read these Remote Sensing and GIS Notes now and enhance your preparation with structured study material!
