With the objective of creating awareness about the application of Geo- Informatics (Remote Sensing, GIS, GPS) for solving local livelihood Problems amongst school children and youth in rural areas, it has been planned to take up the activities in rural schools of Amritsar, Ludhiana, Patiala and Mansa in Punjab. Under this, activities containing hands on tools, software and literature in the regional language will be prepared as resource material. Geo-informatics being a special branch of information technology, which deals with capture and management of spatial data in computer environment using technologies like remote sensing, Geo-informatics information system, global positioning system and internet, would be used. Initially, 40 teachers, one per school, shall be trained for two days in an Orientation Workshop in the month of October 2004. Later, these teachers would impart training to the students of class 7, 8 and 9 of their respective schools in order to give them hands on experience for using geographical positioning system and altimeter. This equipment would later be used in the school itself. Through this programme, awareness would be generated about the application of Geo-Informatics for rural development, which would be a precursor to the vision of capacity building and enabling of local people. It is felt that YSA sets a perfect stage for this purpose.
