Why RSIGST

Radhanath Sikdar Institute of Geospatial Science and Technology (RSIGST), formerly International Institute of Geospatial Science and Technology (IIGST), is a constituent unit of South Asian Institute for Advanced Research and Development (SAIARD) & certified by ISO 9001:2015, has been formed in Kolkata considering on the growing importance of geospatial field  particularly in the eastern and north-eastern parts of India. It has formed with a motto to spread the arena of geospatial technology and its applications through various multi-dimensional ways like education, research, training,  advocacy and innovation  for the sustainable and cognitive development of this greater South-East Asia region as well as to build-up a wide network throughout the world in case of sharing of knowledge and human resource

            The academic platforms of RSIGST, formerly IIGST are designed in such a way as that it can meet the requirements of working professionals, academicians, researchers, planners and decision makers and in the coming future this institution will be the key player in the field of both policy making and employment generation.

The Founder

Radhanath Sikdar Institute of Geospatial Science and Technology (RSIGST), formerly International Institute of Geospatial Science and Technology (IIGST), has been formed under the aegis of South Asian Institute for Advanced Research and Development (SAIARD), with broad objectives and visions to spread the arena of the application of geospatial technology throughout the world for the betterment of the society, to hold the hands of those who are primarily fond for education, to empower the people through various academic modes as well as to serve the nation for its all-round development particularly focusing on the greater South Asia Region. Hard work, teamwork, sharing of knowledge, maintaining cultural integrity are the major pillars of our institution and due to these, one day, I believe that, RSIGST will set a benchmark in the global education system.
