Students can apply for registration waiver.Submit an Abstract by 25th October . There will be very informative workshop on hands on training which will be announced soon.

It is also good to see the event is close to Geospatial World Forum http://geospatialworldforum.org/ that is taking place in 22-25 January, 2017 at Hyderabad, India, so international speakers can aim to plan both events.

Survey of India will be celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2017, so it is good timing.
