GIS Day is celebrated annually on the 3rd Wednesday of November, during the Geography awareness week, across the globe to provide an international forum for users of geographic information systems (GIS) technology to demonstrate real-world applications that are making a difference in our society.
The Remote Sensing & GIS Lab (RS/GIS Lab) of the Centre for Studies in Geography, Dibrugarh University has been hosting the GIS DAY celebration since the year 2013.
