Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), a Unit of In ian Space Research Organisation
(ISRO), is a premier institute for capacity building and rese ch in the field of Remote Sensing
(RS) and Geoinformatics. The Institute has a multi- isciplinary and problem oriented
research agenda focusing on developing land-oce -atmosphere applications and
understanding Earth's surface and subsurface processe using primarily the space-based
technologies. The research programmes are intricately li ed to overall goal of ISRO towards
operationalization of space-based services for national dev lopment.
