Since its formation SAIARD has continuously engaged with lots of academic and capacity building programmes and now considering the growing importance of geospatial field SAIARD has decided to develop a separate platform which will be a dedicated platform in both geospatial and emerging technologies. Therefore, the academic platforms of RSIGST are designed in such a way as that it can meet the requirements of working professionals, academicians, researchers, planners and decision makers.

To widen its outreach, RSIGST has taken various initiatives like starting skill based courses both in PG Diploma and Certificate format on various aspect of Geoinformatics, etc. training and capacity building programmes, conferences etc. both in physical and e-learning mode in collaboration with different academic and non-academic institutions both at national and international level. 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, RSIGST has taken a community & policy-based based approach through the intervention of this geospatial technology for the betterment of society and humanity.
