I am Sharda, an environmental journalist and GIS analyst. I have worked on Jagdalpur-based projects using Sentinel and Landsat data to study water quality and land use. My interests particularly lie in ecotourism, water resources, and sustainable development solutions for local communities. My work is research-driven and field-verified — I have authored several articles, reports, and maps in collaboration with local administrations and NGOs. Recently, I conducted time-series analysis using Google Earth Engine to support environmental studies.
