Science, Agriculture & Earth Observation

Welcome to Noor & Ruhaan – Where Light Finds Peace.

We are building an India-first agricultural research and knowledge platform integrating Agriculture, GIS, Remote Sensing, Satellite Imagery, Earth Observation and Data Science.

Our mission is to connect scientific research with technology and nature to support sustainable agriculture, environmental understanding and evidence-based decision-making.

Explore. Research. Understand. Innovate.

Our Vision

To build an accessible, evidence-based agricultural research and knowledge platform that connects science, technology, farmers and communities for a sustainable future.

Our Mission

Advance agricultural research through scientific data and technology.
Explore GIS, Remote Sensing and satellite-based crop monitoring.
Support soil, water and environmental sustainability.
Promote Earth Observation and climate research.
Make scientific knowledge accessible in Indian languages.
Encourage research collaboration and innovation.

Featured Research Project

Punjab, India – NDVI Analysis (2024)

A satellite-based vegetation assessment of Punjab, India, using Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery and Google Earth Engine.

Research Methodology

Area of Interest (AOI): Punjab state boundary
Satellite data: Sentinel-2 Level-2A Surface Reflectance
Vegetation Index: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)
Processing: Cloud masking and NDVI computation
Analysis: Minimum, Maximum and Mean NDVI statistics

Preliminary Research Results

Statistic

NDVI Value

Maximum

0.9339

Mean

0.5086

Minimum

-0.7460

Note: These are preliminary whole-state statistics after cloud masking, not rice-field-specific results. NDVI values require interpretation according to land cover and data quality.

Next Research Direction: District-level and crop-specific vegetation assessment.
