Industrial Visit to Remote Sensing & Application Center, Lucknow

Date of Visit: 6^th February, 2026.

   Organised by: MIIF and IIC along with Maharishi School of

Engineering and Technology

Objective: MIIF and IIC along with Maharishi School of Engineering and Technology, successfully organized an industrial visit to Remote Sensing & application Centre on 6th February, 2026. The visit aimed to enhance students' understanding of how advanced technologies are applied in geo-informatics and data analysis.

Participating Students: B. Tech (CSE) 4^th semester.

Visit Details: The visit commenced at the Software Research & Development Lab, where students were introduced to advanced software tools and platforms used in developing remote sensing and geospatial applications. Mr. Rajeev Sonkar (Scientist, RAAC-UP) presented an overview of the lab’s key projects and ongoing research initiatives, offering valuable insights into current technological advancements in the domain.

During the expert interaction and guidance sessions, Dr. Sudhakar Shukla (Scientist-SE & Head -School of geoinformatics, RSAC-UP), shared valuable insights into the role of remote sensing and data management in scientific research and development. His session highlighted the practical relevance of geospatial technologies in addressing real-world challenges.

The, students also explored the Computer Image Processing & Data Management Lab, where they learned how satellite and aerial images are processed. The focus was on techniques for handling large datasets and extracting useful patterns in image data. Mr. Deepanshu Rastogi (Scientist, RAAC-UP) explained how data is stored, retrieved and analyzed for geospatial purposes in the Data Centre and Geo-informatics Lab. The students witnessed first-hand how geo-informatics tools are applied in mapping, disaster management, and environmental monitoring.

Mr. Tushar Upadhyay (Project Scientist, RSAC-UP) explained the fundamentals and practical applications of remote sensing, emphasizing its significance in various industries. Dr. Pragarti (Scientist SF and Head of the CIP & DM) discussed the integration of artificial intelligence with remote sensing and geo-spatial data, highlighting how AI is transforming data analysis and decision-making in this domain.

The visit was coordinated by Mrs. Pooja Shukla, Assistant Professor, MSOET.

Students’ feedback: During the industrial visit, students gained valuable hands-on exposure to Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The interactive sessions helped them to understand real-world applications of satellite imagery, geospatial data analysis, data management, and the integration of artificial intelligence in remote sensing technologies. Students also got an opportunity to observe advanced tools and techniques in action, which strengthened their conceptual clarity.
