  ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
• Remote Sensing Geographical Information
  System (RS GIS) programme is a recent
  development for an integrated resource management
  system for the optimal utilization of natural
  resources by a proper and systematic inventory of
  the resource availability in conjunction with
  conventional techniques.
• With the active participation and funding
  support from user agencies from both Govt.
  NGOs, the technology over the last two decades
  has matured to cover diverse resource themes
  forest, agriculture, waste land mapping, disaster
  (flood and drought) monitoring damage
  assessment, land use / land cover mapping,
  terrain analysis, urban planning, mineral
  targeting and environment impact assessment etc.
• NNRMS (National Natural Resources
  Management Systems) of Indian Space Research
  Organisaton primarily responsible for the
  application of RS GIS techniques for the
  resource management of the nation and is a strong
  believer of the concept of user-involvement-and-pa
  rticipation.
• As a service to the user community in
  development of specialist man power conversant
  with digital analysis and RS GIS, the NNRMS /
  ISRO encourages various academic institutes to
  conduct a limited number of training courses each
  of two-weeks duration, specially for the faculty
  members of Universities/Colleges/Institutes from
  various disciplines so as to provide enough
  knowledge and confidence to them to understand
  the concept of RS GIS.
• The Department of Computer Science
  Engineering of Sikkim Manipal Institute of
  Technology, Sikkim is privileged to be chosen by
  NNRMS / ISRO as a focal point to conduct TWO
  Numbers of Two-Weeks training programme on RS
  GIS during January and May, 2008. The progranmme
