ABOUT ME

I am Col Sanjay Mohan, a veteran Indian Army Officer with almost three decades of varied experience which includes a decade and a half in Surveying, Cartography, Remote Sensing and GIS working on live projects in the Military Survey of the Indian Army. I have made maps with plane table survey and then converted them into digital maps with the advent of digital mapping in the nineties. I also utilised open domain geospatial data like SRTM, ETM plus imagery, geonames data in making maps of inaccessible areas; generated seamless GIS data of very large areas by edge matching hundreds of individually digitised map sheets, conducted plane table and differential GPS surveys in the North East India and various other challenging mapping and GIS projects for the Army.
I am an M. Tech. in Remote Sensing and GIS (with specialisation in Satellite Image Analysis and Photogrammetry) from Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun. The M. Tech. was a great testing ground for all the practical experience that I had gained in the Military Survey. It also gave me the opportunity to critically evaluate the open domain geospatial datasets especially for generating cartographic products of remote locations.
The research on the subject is published as a thesis on the official website of Indian Institute of Remote Sensing on the web link below:-
https://www.iirs.gov.in/iirs/sites/default/files/StudentThesis/Col_SanjayMohan_mtech_2012-14.pdf.

I have been an Instructor Class A at the College of Military Engineering taking classes for service personnel. I have held the appointment of Deputy Commander of 501 Field Survey Engineering Group wherein I have organised plane table and GPS surveys and conducted training in GIS, Digital Mapping and GNSS survey.

I superannuated from the Indian Army after 29 years of service in Jan 2018, however I have not retired from my passion of cartography and GIS. I have been working with with an accomplished cartographer Mr. Paul Hein of Topographics.org making maps and geo-processing GIS data. I have also taught practical thematic cartography to the students of Information Design at the National Institute of Design, Bangalore. I also have been writing about environmental awareness issues on my blog like the pollution and disappearing lakes of Bangalore. And recently I have made a tourist map of Bangalore with open domain OSM data and penned a blog on its making which is available on the link https://geomapp.wordpress.com/2019/10/21/making-of-bengaluru-map/

I am sanguine that with the varied practical experience of GPS and plane table surveying, digitisation of hardcopy maps in Military Survey, teaching experience at the College of Military Engineering, 501 Field Survey Engineering Group and National Institute of Design, Industry experience with Mr. Paul Hein and an M. Tech. in Remote Sensing and GIS, I shall be able to take on varied projects on cartography, remote sensing and GIS analysis.
