Advance Your Career with GIS and Remote Sensing Skills in Nandurbar
Nandurbar — a district in the north-western corner of Maharashtra (Khandesh region) characterised by tribal populations, rain-fed agriculture, terrain challenges and emerging development initiatives. The GIS Course in Nandurbar offered by Space Borne Maharashtra is designed to equip learners with hands-on skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing, tailored to address the region’s specific requirements in land-use change, irrigation planning, crop monitoring, tribal development and resource mapping.
Whether you’re a student, researcher or working professional, this course helps you develop practical capabilities in spatial data analysis, mapping techniques, and geospatial applications relevant to Nandurbar’s landscape.
🌐 Role of GIS in Nandurbar’s Development
GIS and Remote Sensing have many relevant applications in Nandurbar’s context:
Agriculture & Crop Monitoring: Nandurbar is largely agrarian but faces issues like drought, poor soil fertility, and rain-dependency. A study reports agricultural land expanding by ~10% and NDVI (vegetation health) increasing in some talukas due to improved irrigation. jetjournal.us+2NABARD+2
Soil Fertility & Land Suitability Mapping: GPS/GIS-based soil fertility mapping has been applied in Shahada taluka of this district, indicating the value of thematic maps for targeted interventions. MDPI
Irrigation & Water Resources: With recurring droughts and dry spells, Nandurbar has seen medium irrigation projects such as the Kordinala soil dam and the Dehali dam in Akkalkuwa taluka. GIS can help in watershed delineation, water body mapping and irrigation planning. Devgatha+1
Tribal & Forest Area Planning: The district is heavily tribal and remote. GIS can assist in mapping infrastructure access, service delivery, forest cover change, and resource distribution. NABARD+1
Agro-Processing & Export Potential: For example, Nandurbar’s chilli and amchur (dry mango powder) hold GI (geographical indication) status. GIS helps locate value-chain clusters, processing units, and export logistic mapping. Wikipedia+1
By acquiring GIS skills, learners can contribute to sustainable agriculture, rural planning, tribal development, land-use monitoring and resource management in Nandurbar.
