Remote Sensing has been introduced as part of Science/Engineering/ Agriculture Curriculum in about 125 Departments coming under 75 Indian Universities. Remote sensing has been introduced as part of NCERT Geography Books of Senior Secondary level and Science Book of Higher Secondary level. Remote Sensing has been introduced as part of 10th standard Geography, Physics book of many state government syllabuses. The UGC, AICTE and DST have funded several Universities and Engineering Institutions for remote sensing projects and establishment of remote sensing laboratory facilities. State Remote Sens- ing Application Centers apart from other training institutions also conduct training programs on need and request basis.
