INTRODUCTION

 

The National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organisation (formerly National Atlas Organisation) was set up in 1956. The organization is engaged in preparation of maps and atlases of different themes using aerial photographs, remote sensing data, GIS, Field surveys etc. The organization is unique of its kind in the country in the field of Thematic Cartography and Geographical research. It has imparted training to Geographers, Geologists and Professionals from various disciplines belonging to various state / central government departments, Universities, colleges and autonomous institutions. NATMO offers the following training programs in the various fields of  Cartography, Remote Sensing, Global Positioning System and Geographical Information System  during the period from 1st. January, 2012 to 31st. March, 2013.

 

 

 

 

  • Global Positioning System (One week)

 

  • Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (Two weeks)

 

  • Digital Cartography and Map Reproduction  (Three weeks)

 

  • Digital Mapping and Geographical Information System (Four weeks)
