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.
OBJECTIVE
