Remotely
Sensed data from Earth Observation Satellites,in conjunction with field
observations and collateral data, facilitates generation of information for
decision making in a time and cost effective manner for scientific management of
our natural resources, for monitoring the environment and ecosystems as well as
for assessment of damage due to natural disasters. To give substance to the
above capability of the technology and to further the goals of Indian Space
Programme, ORSAC has defined its objectives and relentlessly attempts to satisfy
the same in the context of the needs of the state. The objectives are
:
- Establishment
of up-to-date/near real-time satellite database and topographical / cadastral
map library.
- Demonstration and
operationalisation of space technology application in the state.
- Application of Remote
Sensing, GIS, GPS and Communication Technology for several development
planning activities.
- Creation of centralised
facilities for interpretation and analysis of remote sensing data for
developmental planning activities using Geographic Information System
(GIS).
- Demonstration of
multi-disciplinary application projects for mapping, monitoring and management
of natural resources and environment.
- Participation in various
projects defined under National Natural Resources Management system (NNRMS)
programme of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
- To provide up-to-date
accurate and geo-referenced databases to resource managers, planners and
decision makers for natural resource management, environmental monitoring,
Infrastructure development and other development planning activities.
- Operationalisation of
district/block/village level GIS database.
- Connecting people through
GRAMSAT Project.
- Dissemination of
Education and Telemedicine facilities through GRAMSAT/ EDUSAT Network.
- To act as a centre of
excellence for repository of State's natural resources, socio-economic,
demographic and development data.
- Organisation of
Orientation Workshops on Multi-disciplinary Application Areas using Remote
Sensing and GIS for different User Departments/Agencies at State, district
level.
