CENTRE FOR SPACE AND TECHNOLOGY
Centre for space and technology in Dehradun
Centre for space and technology came into existence under affiliation to the United Nations in India in 1995. It has been supported by the Department of Space Government of India, and is advised by a 15 member International Governing Board. Its activities extent across Remote Sensing and GIS, Satellite Communications, Satellite Meteorology and Space Science. It conducts postgraduate courses in all these disciplines. Since the Centre has trained about 655 persons from than 30 countriesin addition from asia.
The overall purpose of this training course is to make the participants
unconscious of the latent of space technology for various phases of flood risk
management. The participants will be exposed to, relevant remote sensing, GIS
and communication technologies, so as to get an in depth understanding how these
technologies can be used in an operational scenario. With the training received
it is expected that the participant will have adequate skills to apply the
knowledge acquired in ones own country to support organization / managers
involved in flood risk management.
The goal of the centre is to develop capability for research and
applications:-
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System,
Satellite Communications,
Satellite Meteorology and Global Climate,
Space and Atmospheric Sciences,
Campuses:-
