    This is a must learn course ,it has an advanced takeaway in how GIS can be used in the agricultural sector and practically implement in the practices which will lead to its defined productivity. It also helps in integrating the agriculture related information and data in geographical practices .GIS can broadly be used in effective planning and development of water availability estimation and also in rainfall analysis and irrigation schedule. It is useful both in short-term and long-term planning and development practices and in managing resources sustainably.
