Assam’s mammalian diversity is represented by 193 species which are widely distributed in this region. But of late some of the species like one horned rhinoceros, water buffalo, pigmy hog, swamp deer, golden langur, hoolock gibbon have their distribution limited to isolated pockets and protected areas.

Transportation is a measure of the relations between areas and is, therefore, an essential aspect of geography” (Ullman, 1954: 311). The economic relations between areas are reflected in the character of transportation facilities and in the flow of traffic.

A map showing the entire world would be considered a small scale map whereas a map showing a neighborhood would be considered a large scale map. provides the relationship between the map and the whole or a part of the earth's surface shown on it.

 As the name suggests, remote sensing is a technique that allows users to remotely capture information of the Earth's terrain that is filled with valuable geodata - geological features (soil structure), drainage, ocean and hydrology, agriculture lands, construction projects and many many more.

Remote sensing provides another tool that can be integrated into a GIS. Remote sensing includes imagery and other data collected from satellites, balloons, and drones.

Finally, GIS can also include data in table or spreadsheet form, such as population demographics. 

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have different applications, and technological advancements have significantly enhanced GIS data, specifically how it can be used and what can be achieved as a result. Geographic Information Systems is a decision-making tools for any business or industry since it allows the collection, storage, management and analysis of environmental, demographic, and topographic data. 

The main reason for slow Industrial development are: 

(i) There is a lack of comprehensive and integrated planning for Industrial development through proper resource utilisation. (ii) The agro-based Industries haven't made much headway despite good prospects.

Several indigenous industries in the country, especially the Bell Metal industry of Assam are facing problems like lack of technology upgradation, shrinking market, lack of advance skill/tools, increased prices of raw material, coal and other fuels, scarcity of raw material and lack of product diversification.
