About CEHS


The Centre for Environment Health and Safety (CEHS) which has been set up under the aegis of Institute of Good Manufacturing Practices India (IGMPI) is registered as a non-profit society recognised by the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, accredited Vocational Institution of Ministry of HRD, Government of India. IGMPI is dedicated to promote working in a healthy and safe environment. The rapid expansion of infrastructure development and industrial establishments has heightened the focus on ensuring safety measures essential for public health. IGMPI is moving hand in hand with technology advances and has gained recognition as stronger and better training & online learning platform provider in the areas of Pharma GMP, Regulatory Affairs, Food Science, Health, Safety & Environment and many more. Today, India has had legislations on occupational safety and health for 50 years. But the number of regulatory personnel is limited to 1,400 safety officers, 1,154 factory inspectors, and 27 medical inspectors. These numbers are grossly inadequate even for the inspection of formal units that only employ about 10% of India's total workforce (around 26 million). This proves that there is a huge demand of industrial safety experts.

India is a fast-growing economy. It influences the global market as well. The CEHS team at IGMPI has come with programmes specially designed for industry professionals, graduates, and safety engineers to enhance their knowledge and get trained to have a great career in this upcoming and thriving field. Additionally, the Centre for Environment Health and Safety, IGMPI endeavours to enhance the skills of the available work force.

Post Graduate Diploma in Geoinformatics

Remote sensing and GIS are indispensable tools today due to their extensive applications in tackling global challenges and enhancing decision-making. Remote sensing provides detailed, real-time data from satellites and aerial platforms, allowing for precise monitoring of environmental changes, natural disasters, and urban development. GIS integrates this spatial data with other datasets, enabling complex analysis and visualization. These technologies collectively support sustainable resource management, disaster response, climate change mitigation, and urban planning. By delivering accurate, actionable insights, remote sensing and GIS empower governments, businesses, and researchers to make informed decisions, ultimately fostering a more resilient and sustainable world.

The Post Graduate Diploma in Geoinformatics is a comprehensive program designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and practical skills in remote sensing and geospatial technologies. This course integrates theoretical foundations with hands-on experience, utilizing QGIS software. QGIS is ideal for this program because it is a powerful, open-source GIS software that offers extensive tools for spatial analysis, data visualization, and remote sensing applications. Its user-friendly interface and active community support make it accessible for learners, while its compatibility with various data formats ensures versatility in real-world projects. Using QGIS, students gain practical experience with industry-standard software without the cost barriers of proprietary systems.

Students will learn about remote sensing principles, sensor technology, data acquisition, and GIS spatial data models and analysis methods. Practical sessions include image processing, supervised and unsupervised classification, and integrating remote sensing data with GIS for enhanced decision-making. By the end of the program, diploma holders will be proficient in applying these technologies in various fields, including environmental management, urban planning, agriculture, and disaster management, making them valuable assets to employers.
