Changing Projection System

The document outlines the process of changing the projection of a shapefile (nep_vdc.shp) to WGS84. It includes steps for creating custom geographic transformations between Everest 1830 and WGS 1984, specifying parameters for each transformation. Finally, it details how to project the data to the desired coordinate systems and save the outputs accordingly.

Changing projection to wgs84

Add data: nep_vdc.shp

Check its co-ordinate system, if it is not Everest_Bangladesh_Transverse_Mercator, then define it as so.
