INTRODUCTION
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 2010.
- Remote Sensing and GIS (Two
weeks)
- Application of Aerial
Photography in Thematic
Mapping (Two weeks)
- Cartography and Map
Reproduction (Two weeks)
- Digital Mapping and
Geographical Information
System (Four weeks)
- Digital Cartography (Four
weeks)
- Global Positioning System (One
week)
OBJECTIVE
The
main objectives of the NATMO
Training Courses are:
v
