Master geospatial technologies at the tea capital of the world’s most trusted remote sensing training institute. Industry-ready curriculum, real satellite data, and hands-on project experience that gets you hired.
Introduction
Jorhat — widely known as the “Tea Capital of the World” — is one of Upper Assam’s most important centres of education, agriculture, and environmental research. Situated on the southern bank of the mighty Brahmaputra, Jorhat is home to premier institutions like Jorhat Engineering College, Assam Agricultural University, and the Rain Forest Research Institute. It is flanked by some of India’s most iconic landscapes — the Kaziranga National Park corridor, the Majuli river island, the Dibru-Saikhowa National Park, and the vast tea gardens of Upper Assam.
This makes Jorhat an ideal city to learn GIS, Remote Sensing, and GeoAI. Spaceborne brings professional, industry-grade geospatial training to Jorhat — covering ArcGIS, QGIS, Google Earth Engine (GEE), Python Geospatial Programming, and the emerging field of GeoAI. Whether you’re a student, researcher, forest officer, tea garden manager, or engineer, our courses will equip you with the skills the geospatial industry demands right now.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools used to capture, store, analyse, manage, and visualise geographic or spatial data. GIS lets you answer spatial questions: Where are things? Why are they there? What happens if conditions change?
In 2025, GIS has expanded far beyond traditional map-making. It now encompasses satellite image analysis, cloud-based big data platforms like Google Earth Engine, AI-driven object detection from drone and satellite imagery, and real-time spatial dashboards used by governments, NGOs, and corporations across India and globally.
Our Programmes
Every course at Spaceborne is built for real-world impact — using actual satellite datasets, live project workflows, and mentorship from working geospatial professionals.
Master the industry-standard GIS platform from Esri. Learn geodatabases, spatial analysis, cartography, and Web GIS — the tools used by Assam government agencies, forest departments, and major infrastructure and tea industry companies across Upper Assam.
Dive deep into QGIS — the world’s most popular free, open-source GIS software. Ideal for students, NGOs, and government bodies in Assam. Learn vector & raster analysis, plug-ins, and field data collection workflows.
Harness petabytes of satellite imagery in the cloud. Use JavaScript API and Python (geemap) to run large-scale land cover, NDVI, flood, and forest change analysis — directly relevant to the Brahmaputra floodplains and tea plantation landscapes of Upper Assam.
Automate geospatial workflows with Python. Master GeoPandas, Rasterio, Shapely, Folium, and Xarray. Build spatial data pipelines, interactive web maps, and custom geoprocessing tools — skills in high demand at research institutes and tech firms across Northeast India.
The frontier of GIS: apply CNNs, U-Net segmentation, and SAM to satellite & drone imagery. Detect buildings, map forest cover, classify tea and paddy crops, and predict flood risk with AI — ideal for researchers at Assam Agricultural University, Rain Forest Research Institute, and beyond.
Understand how satellites see the Earth. Learn spectral analysis, image classification, change detection, SAR data processing, and multitemporal analysis using real IRS, Sentinel, and Landsat data over the Brahmaputra valley and Upper Assam.
Deep Dive
Two of the most in-demand geospatial skills in 2025. Here’s exactly what you will learn at Spaceborne.
GEE gives you access to 40+ years of satellite imagery and massive cloud computing power — all from a browser. Our Jorhat GEE course takes you from your first script to building multi-year environmental monitoring dashboards over the Brahmaputra floodplains and Upper Assam’s tea and forest landscapes.
Python is the lingua franca of geospatial data science. Our course takes you from Python basics to building full geospatial pipelines and interactive web maps — automate and scale any GIS workflow relevant to Assam and Northeast India.
🤖 Cutting-Edge Technology
GeoAI is the most exciting frontier in geospatial science today. By combining deep learning, computer vision, and spatial data, GeoAI enables machines to “see” the Earth at scales and speeds impossible for human analysts.
At Spaceborne, our GeoAI programme is built for those who want to be at the cutting edge — extracting meaning from terabytes of satellite imagery using the same AI techniques used by NASA, ESA, and leading global tech companies. For Jorhat’s research community at Assam Agricultural University, Rain Forest Research Institute, Tocklai Tea Research Institute, and ICAR, this is the next frontier.
Local Relevance
Jorhat and Upper Assam present some of Northeast India’s most urgent and fascinating geospatial challenges. Learning GIS here means working on problems with direct local and national impact.
Jorhat is the gateway to Kaziranga National Park — home to the world’s largest population of one-horned rhinoceroses. GIS is critical for mapping wildlife corridors, monitoring habitat change, tracking elephant movement routes, and supporting anti-poaching operations across Upper Assam’s protected areas.
Upper Assam’s tea gardens produce some of the world’s finest teas. GIS and remote sensing enable plantation health monitoring, disease stress mapping, irrigation management, and yield prediction — directly supporting the tea industry’s transition to precision agriculture.
The Brahmaputra is one of the world’s most dynamic rivers, causing severe annual flooding and bank erosion around Jorhat and Majuli. GIS enables floodplain mapping, erosion rate analysis, river channel change detection, and disaster preparedness planning for Assam State Disaster Management Authority.
Majuli — the world’s largest river island — is shrinking due to Brahmaputra erosion. Satellite-based GIS analysis is essential to quantify land loss, monitor shoreline change, support conservation planning, and document the cultural landscape of this UNESCO candidate site.
Monitor forest cover change across Upper Assam’s reserve forests and biodiversity corridors, detect encroachment and illegal felling, and support the Assam Forest Department’s conservation planning using Sentinel-2 and MODIS time-series analysis.
Monitor paddy, mustard, and vegetable cultivation across Upper Assam’s fertile plains, assess crop health during flood events, and support precision farming initiatives for Assam’s agricultural community using GEE and Python-based remote sensing.
