About University Themes of Seminar:
Bharathidasan University established in
February 1982, and was named after the great revolutionary
1. Geomatics in Mineral, Hydrocarbon and
Tamil Poet, Bharathidasan (1891-1964). The motto of the
University "We will create a brave new world" has been framed Groundwater Exploration
from Bharathidasan's poetic words. The University area lies in 2. Role of Geochemistry in Mineral Exploration
the strategic central part of Tamil Nadu, covering the Cauvery 3. Role of Geophysics in Mineral Exploration
delta, traditionally known as intellectual capital of the state. 4. Multi-Disciplinary Approach for Mineral
There are Ten constituent colleges in Perambalur, Orathanadu, Exploration
Lalgudi, Aranthangi, Inamkulathur-Srirangam Taluk, 5. Geomatics in Landuse dynamics
Vedaranayam, Thiruthuraipoondi, Nannilam, Nagapattinam 6. Remote Sensing and GIS in EIA
and Veppur.
