Advancing river science, geospatial technology & community resilience across the Dooars & Bengal Basin.
The Dhupguri River Research & Geo-Spatial Foundation (DRRGSF) is a registered, academic research body based in Dhupguri, dedicated to the scientific study of rivers across the Himalayan foreland.
We pair traditional field geomorphology and river-habitat survey with modern satellite remote sensing, GIS, UAV (drone) mapping and statistical modelling — turning data into knowledge that strengthens both science and the communities living along these rivers.
From hands-on student internships and skill-building courses to participatory water-literacy campaigns at the village level, DRRGSF works at the meeting point of rigorous research and real-world resilience.
To study, map and safeguard the rivers of the Dooars and Bengal Basin — building scientific capacity in young researchers and water awareness in communities, so that every village can move toward a water-secure future.
Satellite-data analysis, hazard and flood-risk mapping, DEM & terrain analysis, and technical modelling of river systems — the analytical engine of the foundation.
Engaging communities through water-conservation drives, literacy campaigns and participatory resource management — turning research into lived, local change.
Professional support for institutions, scholars and agencies — from raw field data to publication-ready spatial analysis.
Thematic, hazard & land-use mapping from satellite imagery and ground-truth data.
Spatial statistics, MCDM, machine-learning & trend analysis for your research datasets.
End-to-end, project-specific GIS consultancy & customised research support.
Aerial survey, photogrammetry, orthomosaic & DEM preparation with terrain analysis.
Structured field assessment of channel form, riparian habitat and water-quality parameters.
UAV survey, DEM and geospatial-analysis assistance for scholar fieldwork & collaboration.
Practical, field-driven programmes built around live projects in the Dooars — for UG, PG students and research scholars.
Our signature, industry-aligned programme — from flight planning and aerial data capture to photogrammetric processing, DEM generation and the geographical interpretation that turns pixels into decisions. Conducted in Hybrid / Offline mode.
Bringing water science to the doorstep — gathering community voices through Participatory Water-Availability Assessment and running village-level water-literacy sessions.
Village-level Water Literacy Campaign — awareness, conservation & dialogue with residents.
Full participatory water-availability assessment and data collection at the village scale.
Glimpses from our training programmes, drone surveys, RTK field campaigns, seminars and community water-literacy drives across the Dooars.
