Initiatives and Achievements

• Opening up of a new career avenue for SEE graduates
• Development of curricula for regular and short term courses in Geomatics.
• Human resource development for land resource management with adequate knowledge and skill in modern geo-information technology
• Facilitation Individuals, Government and Non-Government employees in developing knowledge and skills in developing knowledge and skills in land date acquisition and application of spatial information through various short term training courses.
• Increasing awareness among the citizens towards the scope of Geomatics Education.
• Creating opportunities for advancing geomatics education in the country and aboard.
• Organization several tailored short courses for relevant organizations towards enhancing the capacity of their employees in the areas of land related judicial, financial and ownership decision making processes. This has significantly help organizations such as Supreme Court in sorting out land related dispute cases which were unresolved for year.

Gender Consideration

The school encourages gender balanced participation in all the courses and provides 50% scholarship in monthly fee upto first ten successful female candidates under a positive discrimination policy adhered by the SOG. This policy has been very effective in promoting gender balanced education in Geomatics Engineering. The number of female students have significantly increased over the last decade, from 0% in the first batch to 25% in the batch of 2073.
