Serving the Geological Survey of India since 14th July, 1986 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Location: India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Professional experience ==&lt;br /&gt;
Experienced in field work for more that 10 years field programs on &lt;br /&gt;
* Geological mapping,&lt;br /&gt;
* Mineral exploration, : Exploration for plateau type bauxites in a basaltic country&lt;br /&gt;
* Mineral exploration : Exploration for diamonds &amp;amp; laboratory based programs Trainings in digital technology &lt;br /&gt;
** Primary course on Computer Basics,&lt;br /&gt;
** Geographical Information System (ARC/INFO),&lt;br /&gt;
** Oracle 8 and Developer 2000,&lt;br /&gt;
** Advanced Training in Arc/Info on N.T.&lt;br /&gt;
** Attended advance / vender's training on Raster GIS, Internet GIS, ARCGIS, ARCSDE and Prospectivity Mapping.&lt;br /&gt;
** Besides the trainings carried out by the GSITI, I have attended trainings in the modules covering Principles of Cartography, Principles of GIS and Principles of Remote Sensing at ITC, the Netherlands (September to December 2000).&lt;br /&gt;
* Geoinformatics: 1996-97 to 2001 and 2004 to 2007 I was a member of the team engaged in creation of geoscientific databases (geological information system) in Oracle and GIS environment. &lt;br /&gt;
* Faculty in GSITI training programs in digital concepts and geographic information system: a guest faculty (since March 2001) and there after as core trainer (since September 2001) led a favourable environment to enthuse me to my dedicated association with the training programs of the Organisation As a core member of the faculty, I had utilized my innovative and modern methodology in the transfer of knowledge and development of the Scientific Human Resource of the Nation.

* In the year 2005 I was introduced to FOSS by Mr. Ravi Kumar (then Director, GSI; now an advocate member – OSGeo). Initiation of with working with [[GRASS]], followed by OpenJump, &lt;br /&gt;
* Spatial data editing for higher degree of authentication, data standardisation, projection management for the data acquired from feeder state centers, gap &amp;amp; overlap removal, edge matching, establishing the seamless-ness finalisation, geometry validation  (simplification). This exercise was done for a regional geological layers data (covering 929 toposheets), maintanance of regional repository ([[PostGIS]]), positioning the GCPs of layers to correct point etc.&lt;br /&gt;
This work was carried out using FOSS: OpenJump, [[PostGIS]] (Postgres), spatialite (Sqlite). &lt;br /&gt;
