Global GIS Ltd., the pioneer of geospatial positioning solutions in Sri Lanka, celebrated its 11th anniversary with an extensive educational CSR program conducted for the advanced level students at Ananda College, Colombo who are following the subject of engineering technology. The education and knowledge-sharing program introduced the students to the subjects of surveying and geospatial solutions including levelling, chain surveying, and theodolite surveying. The objective of the program was to develop the knowledge of the students of the practical aspects of geospatial solutions along with a hands-on session, where the students were able to physically interact with state-of-the-art surveying equipment including high-tech drones and GPSs. The educational program was conducted by the expert trainers of Global GIS Ltd., in the presence of teachers, directors and staff of Global GIS Ltd.  

“We are pleased to have been given the opportunity to conduct this unique educational program in view of our 11th anniversary. As the pioneers and leaders in the geospatial solutions sphere, sharing our knowledge and experience with the students was most satisfying with the students engaging with much enthusiasm,” said Global GIS Ltd., Managing Director Nishshanka De Silva. Nishshanka is a professional licensed surveyor with over 13 years of experience in the surveying and geospatial solutions sphere and holds an MSc in Geoinformatics. 

“During the program, we were able to provide a detailed view of the surveying and geospatial industry to the students. Surveying and geospatial solutions have immense potential in a developing country such as Sri Lanka, especially in the construction industry, land mapping, and hydrographical surveying of the sea. With our unwavering commitment to excellence, state-of-the-art equipment including drones, our CORS network, and deep expertise spanning over 11 years, we are well positioned to support the requirements of various industry segments, including construction, government bodies, tri-forces, and universities, with surveying and geospatial solutions to take the country to the next phase of growth,” he added.
