We undertake surveying, mapping and monitoring of natural resources in various scales such as 1:50,000/1:25,000/1:10,000/1:5,000. We take up following projects

Landuse/Land cover mapping	Urban landuse mapping
Forest density & species level mapping	Forest management planning
Wildlife monitoring and management	Plantation mapping and montioring
Biodiversity mapping	Forecasting Agricultural Crop Area
Wasteland mapping and monitoring	Wetland mapping and monitoring
Hydro-geomorphological mapping	Ground water prospect mapping
Ground water source targetting	Identifying Groundwater Recharge Sites
Dissemination of Potential Fishing Zones	Coastal Zone Management Planning
Coastal Regulatory Zone Mapping	Surface Waterbody Mapping
Watershed Delineation and Planning	Reservoir Monitoring
Environmental Impact Assessment	Soil resources mapping

2. Geospatial Data Base Creation :

Centre undertakes projects for creating spatial database layers for different natural resources. Different types of non-spatial data are linked with the spatial layers to generate value added maps as per the requirements of the users.

3. Conducting Training and Orientation Workshops on Remote Sensing Applications and GIS for State User Departments :

ORSAC organises training programmes on remote sensing and GIS on request. The centre also organises orientation workshops at District headquarters.
