The Indian Institute of Remote Sensing is an institute for research, higher education, and training in the fields of remote sensing, eco-informatics, and GPS technology for natural resources, environmental, and disaster management. The institute was established in 1966 under the Indian Department of Space.[2] It is located in the city of Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

History

Formerly known as Indian Photo-interpretation Institute (IPI), the institute was founded on April 21st 1966 under the aegis of Survey of India (SOI). It was established with the collaboration of the government of the Netherlands on the pattern of the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente, formerly known as the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences. The original idea of setting the institute came from India's first prime minister, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, during his visit to the Netherlands in 1957.[3]

The institute's building at Kaleida's Road, Dehradun, was inaugurated on 27 May 1972.[3]

As a unit of ISRO

The IIRS was reorganized as a separate entity of ISRO with effect from 30 April 2011. P. S. Roy has been appointed as the first Director of IIRS.

Courses

The focus of the IIRS is training and education in the field of Geoinformatics. Technology and applications of remote sensing, GIS, and GPS are taught in the form of training and education.[4]

Collaborations

IIRS has collaborated with ITC; IHE (International Institute for Infrastructural, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering); Wageningen University in the Netherlands; ITTO (International Timber Research Organization); UNESCO; WMO (World Meteorological Organisation); ADPC (Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre); and NGI (Norwegian Geological Institute).[5]
