It is a science and technology mainly includes Remote Sensing, Geographical Information System (GIS) and Geographical Position System (GPS). Remote Sensing provides data for even unreached areas where physical observations are impossible and GIS backs up to bring the data into visualization and support for ‘Decision Making”. Whereas GPS concentrate on suitable spot locational aspects. In the proposed article/ research paper, it is intended to present the role of Remote Sensing and GIS in unreached areas in the form of Extension fields. Rayalaseema Region of Andhra Pradesh is one of the notified drought prone areas of the nation. In fact the latest techniques have to be applied to unreached areas like Habitat analysis, School Locational analysis, Tribal inhabitation analysis, Precision agriculture, Water resources analysis etc. These tools can be widely used by extension field Professional.
