IIRS OUTREACH PROGRAMME IIRS - outreach programme is an innovative distance learning initiative for training the students and professionals from academic Institutions and user departments in the field of geospatial technology & Earth Observation (EO) by utilizing state-of-art Information and communication technologies. The programme also attracts young generation to build their career in the area of space science and its applications. IIRS outreach program was initiated in year 2007 with 312 participants from twelve universities in India. Till March 2021, IIRS has successfully conducted 76 outreach programmes through live and interactive classroom mode (also known as EDUSAT programme) benefitted more than 3.05 lakhs participants from 2790 network Institutions distributed across the country. During last fourteen years, IIRS has successfully established a network of academic and professional Institutions in the country under this programme. The content of IIRS Distance Learning Program (DLP) focuses on teaching basic and advanced topics in the field of Remote Sensing, GIS, GNSS and its applications. The online sessions delivered under this programme are interactive and delivered by Subject Matter Experts (SME) from ISRO and other International Institute of repute. The online courses are delivered through indigenous active learning platform i.e. Electronic Collaborative Learning and Knowledge Sharing System (E-CLASS) of IIRS.

SPACE TECHNOLOGY & ITS APPLICATIONS - The data and information generated using Space Science and technologies are very important for socioeconomic development of the society. Utilization of space based information services for better planning and decision making in the areas of weather forecasting, tele-medicine, positioning applications, environmental and climate studies, agriculture, food and water security, disaster management etc., are very important. Many space applications have reached at technical maturity level and have become the part of our day-to-day life. For example, the growth of positioning, navigation and timing applications which rely on satellite signals has spurred new commercial markets (e.g. GPS chipsets in smartphones), Direct to Home (DTH) services are now part of the society and Remote Sensing based satellite imageries are used for many geospatial applications such as cadastral mapping, thematic applications, spatial modelling etc. The applications of space technology can be divided in six major categories namely Earth Observation, Satellite Communication, Satellite Navigation, Satellite Meteorology, Environmental and Climatic studies. India being one of the leading space faring nation in the world, have its vibrant space program which has matured as a symbol of the country’s sophisticated technological capabilities and its growing regional and global prestige.
