Along with that as the basic motto of this institution is to support the all round development of our future generations to make them skilled and employable along with that to strengthen the hands of both public and private sectors, so, since its inception, IIGST has taken a community & policy-based based approach through the intervention of this geospatial technology for the betterment of society and humanity.
