New Delhi: Geographic Information System (GIS) and drone technology are reshaping industries such as agriculture, urban planning, environmental management, and disaster response. As demand for skilled professionals in these fields surges, AVPL International, in collaboration with Tata STRIVE, has launched a cutting-edge GIS training program at its Drone Skill Centre in Gurugram. Currently, 34 students are undergoing training, equipping themselves with the latest GIS and drone expertise alongside essential soft skills, making them truly future-ready.

This initiative is backed by a robust placement alliance with 11 top employers offering career opportunities in roles like GIS Specialist, Data Scientist, Urban Planner, GIS Analyst, and Drone-based GIS Monitoring Expert. Recognizing the immense potential of this field, AVPL International plans to expand GIS training programs to 12 states across India. Upcoming sessions will be conducted in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, and beyond through 20 World Incubation Hubs and 50 Drone Aero Vision Labs, opening doors to high-paying jobs for young professionals.

“GIS and drone technology training is more than just skill-building—it’s a gateway to a brighter future. These innovations drive career growth and national development, empowering both urban and rural youth. Now is the perfect time to embrace this technological revolution and turn aspirations into reality,” said Ms. Preet Sandhuu, Founder of AVPL International.

How GIS and Drone Technology Are Transforming Industries

Agriculture: Enhances crop monitoring, soil analysis, and water resource management for improved productivity.

Disaster Management: Plays a crucial role in flood control, drought mitigation, and disaster response.

Infrastructure Development: Enables precise mapping and monitoring of roads, bridges, and other projects.

Urban Planning: Supports smart city initiatives, transportation networks, and sustainable development.

Mining & Environmental Conservation: Aids in resource management and environmental protection.

With the demand for GIS and drone professionals soaring, this sector promises lucrative job opportunities. At the Global Investors Summit 2025 (GIS 2025) in Madhya Pradesh, investment proposals worth ₹22 lakh crore were received, projected to generate over 13 lakh new jobs—many in GIS-driven sectors like renewable energy, urban development, and tourism.

For young professionals, mastering GIS and drone technology means securing well-paying jobs in agriculture, smart city projects, infrastructure, and beyond. As industries increasingly rely on GIS expertise, this field offers long-term career stability and unparalleled growth prospects.
