In a press release, the society said the competition will be conducted in two stages — preliminary rounds at participating schools and a final outdoor round in Hyderabad. The quiz questions will be designed by experts from the Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), focusing on spatial awareness and real-world mapping applications in areas such as engineering, health, agriculture, infrastructure, and the environment.
