Website Launched

Welcome to the website of the Society of Geoinformatics Engineers (SGE). SGE was established to act as a platform for students pursuing Geoinformatics at Anna University to come out with innovative ideas and to explore beyond their curriculum.

An online presence for any Society is of utmost importance in this era of computers. It is indeed a good thing that the internet is helping in the progress of knowledge as a whole. The Society of Geoinformatics Engineers, not wanting to be left behind has started this initiative. This website is an online compilation of all the activities that the Society is involved in and also a register of activities.
