抄録

The record of India in the field of remote sensing over the last two decades is extremely impressive. Now India builds its own sensor systems and has its own satellites launched into space by its own launcher. It operates its own receiving station for satellite data and distributes the data to users throughout the country. The operational Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites lA and lB launched in March 1988 and August 1991, respectively are providing good quality data with a combined repetitivity of lldays. IRS-P2 carried on the developmental flight of indigenously built Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-D2) launched in October 1994 is already operational. The second generation satellites of the same series namely IRS-1C and 1D, with better capabilities, are scheduled for launch during 1995-98 time frame. Besides, the data from a number of foreign satellites like Landsat, NOAA, SPOT and ERS-1 are directly received and readily available in the country. It now has good and wide spread infrastructural facilities in remote sensing. Remote Sensing Application Centers have been operationalized in almost all the states to aid and assist users in mapping monitoring, monitoring and management of the natural resources of the area. Most of the remote sensing institutes and centers have acquired sophisticated image processing and data analysis systems. A number of scientists are involved in the use of remote sensing data for application in a wide range of resource themes like agriculture, soils, land use, forests, ecology, environment, water resources, geology, oceanography and disaster management, etc. The use of remote sensing technology has been operationalized in many areas like wasteland mapping, land use/land cover mapping, forest mapping, sea surface temperature mapping, etc. Many national level projects have been initiated to harness the benefits of the technology. Research and development work is also underway at various centers and universities. Regular training programs are being offered to keep pace with the rapidly increasing demand of the trained manpower in the field of remote sensing. The remote sensing technology in poised to become an integral part of the planning pmocess of the country in a not too distant future.
