Remote Sensing/GIS:Short Term Course 2010-IIT Kharagpur

2010 Continuing Education Programme of Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur on Remote Sensing and GIS: Short Term Course sponsored by MHRD / AICTE

In recent years, Remote Sensing and GIS techniques have emerged as one of the most versatile decision making tools in the geospatial domain with increasing applications in new areas. Integrated application of these two techniques culminates in harnessing the natural resources with incredible speed and reasonable accuracy, even from inaccessible areas, to help the process of planning the integrated development of a region. They are widely used in monitoring, management and planning in diverse fields of activities, such as, sustainable development, infrastructure development, disaster management, environmental monitoring, resource inventory, rural and urban planning etc. Remotely Sensed data from Aerial photographs and Satellites, combined with GPS serve as the basic database in GIS for multi-criteria decision making in several applications, viz., groundwater and mineral exploration, land use / land cover, wasteland management, inland water resources, mining, agriculture, forestry, coastal mapping and developm nt, land records, health care, socio-economic, crime investigation etc., to name a few.
The main objective of this course is not only to expose the participants to the rapidly growing field of Remote Sensing and GIS but also to motivate them to take up research in this rapidly growing field of science and technology.
