The workshop was attended by around 35 participants including professionals and students from different organizations and universities respectively. Dr. Muhammad Shafique was the resources person of the workshop and Benazeer Iqbal has done practical exercises like data loading, georeferencing, and digitization, etc.

The main theme of that workshop was to develop command on how optical remote sensing acquires the data through different satellites and load and interpret the spatial data in GIS. Difference between Vector and Raster data. Practical exercises have been done successfully, a manual was provided to participants for practical exercise and followed that manual by participants accordingly.
