Dear Chandra Prakash Singh Ji,
As you are aware Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Science have become key technology tools for the collection, storage and analysis of spatially referenced data for resource planning and decision making. Today it is the backbone to many decision making systems and location-based services emerging in the New Information Economy. During last decade the utilization of Internet technology by different user groups in the society is emerged as a technological revaluation which has directly affect the life of human being.
Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) under Indian Space Research Organization is a premier Training, Educational and Research Institute established for developing trained professionals in the field of Remote Sensing, Geoinformatics and GNSS technology for Natural Resources, Environmental and Disaster Management. The Institute is running many on-campus short and long term capacity building programmes ranging from three days to two years.
IIRS has initiated its interactive distance education based capacity building training under IIRS outreach programme in the year 2007. Through this programme, over 15,000+ students and researchers from approximately 200+ universities/institutes across the country have been trained in the field of geospatial science and technology.
Further to enhance the outreach of geospatial science and technology, IIRS is now announcing following e-learning based certificate course:

·        Comprehensive certificate course on Remote Sensing and Geo-information Science- Four (o4) months duration.

One (01) Month Certificate courses on:

·        Fundamentals of Remote Sensing.

·        Fundamentals of Photogrammetry and Cartography.

·        Fundamentals of Geographical Information System and Global Navigation System.

·        Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing.

These online programs are flexible for anytime, anywhere learning keeping in mind the demands of geographically dispersed audience and their requirements. The program is comprehensive with variety of online delivery modes with interactive, easy to learn and having a proper blend of concepts and practical to elicit students' full potential. The course contents of this programme includes Image Statistics, Basics of Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry and Cartography, Digital Image Processing, Geographical Information System, Global Positioning System, Customization of Geospatial Tools and Applications of Geospatial Technologies. The syllabus of the course are as per latest developments and trends in geo-spatial science and technologies with specific focus on Indian case studies for geo-spatial applications. The learning is made available through interactive 2D and 3D animations, audio, video for practical demonstrations, software operations with free data applications. The learning methods are implemented to make it more interactive and learner centric application with practical examples of real world problems.
Registration for IIRS e-learning courses are started from 15th August 2014. This Online course is free for all the learners. The interested participants can apply online through website- http://elearning.iirs.gov.in . The course announcement brochure is attached with this email for your kind reference. Please circulate the announcement in your University/Institution/Organization for benefit of the participants.
Thanking you for your Kind attention.
With Best Regards
