The business is led by Druk Tshering who has an advanced and associate degree in Geo-Information and Earth Science with specialization in GIS, Photogrammetry, and Remote Sensing.
The topographical surveying and mapping will be carried out using stereo pair satellite images by photogrammetric means and further updating and verification shall be carried out by ground survey using RTK and total stations. The data generated from this project will form as a base to carry out various GIS activities.
