    What is
    Mapathon?

    OVERVIEW
    The Mapathon is a collaborative map-making competition centered
    around creating thematic maps. All Indian and international students/
    research scholars/ Faculties are invited by the Department of Civil
    Engineering at Chandigarh University to participate in this event. The
    primary objective is to develop new tools and methods that enhance
    map accuracy and usefulness for communities. The event encourages
    the use of free Open-Source Software, such as QGIS, to work with
    openly available geospatial datasets. The ultimate aim is to promote
    the widespread adoption of maps in various thematic areas.
    Additionally, the Mapathon aims to give participants the skills to
    customize and use maps to solve the society problems and create
    opportunities for Indian youth. During the competition, maps will be
    prepared using various data sources, such as observation, remote
    sensing, and crowd-sourced data. These datasets hold tremendous
    potential in mapping India’s resources, agriculture, climate, disaster
    management, rural and urban planning, and to identifying pathways
    for future development.
    What is the size of the team?
    You can participate individually or as a team (max. 3
    students). The team can have a mentor; however, the team
