The
National Atlas and Thematic
Mapping Organization (formerly
National Atlas of India) 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
and Geologists belonging to
various state central government
departments, Universities,
colleges and
autonomous institutions.
NATMO offers the following
training programs in the various
fields of map-making during the
calendar year 2008.
