A
fundamental requirement of Agenda 21 of UNCED is to support
sustainable development while safeguarding the earth's
environment. This will require optimal management of natural
resources which depends upon the availability of reliable
and timely information at national and regional levels
Remotely sensed data play an increasingly important role as
a source of reliable and timely information needed for
sustainable management of natural resources and for
environmental protection. Through GIS, remote sensing data
can be integrated with data from other sources to facilitate
the efforts of resource managers, planners and decision
makers in obtaining the relevant information they need. In
view of facilitating such a sustainable resource management
in developing countries, the Centre conducts a post graduate
course in Remote Sensing and GIS as applied to various earth
resources disciplines. The venue of the course, Indian
Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) is a premier training
institution in the region that has trained more than 3000
persons from India and abroad in the last three decades.
IIRS is well equipped with state of the art computing
facilities such as personal computers and workstations with
modern peripherals and softwares. It also possesses
laboratories for ground truth equipment and technology
understanding. The institute has collaborative mechanism
also with prominent international institutions and is
engaged in research and consultancy activities besides
training.
