Several State S&T Councils have a remote sensing unit establishment, with Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh
and Rajasthan making good use of such facilities. BISAG-N (Gujarat) specializes in geo-spatial
systems and satellite communication, aiding agriculture, water management, and infrastructure. Madhya Pradesh’s RSAC focuses on GIS-based planning, crop monitoring, Planning for Watershed Development activities and data management, while Rajasthan’s RSRSAC integrates remote sensing for natural resources and infrastructure, including PMGSY road mapping.
Some other State S&T Councils have also initiated efforts in this direction. For example, Kerala’s
KSREC developed K-GIS and GRAMAM for sustainable agriculture, and Odisha’s ORSAC utilizes GIS and GPS to tackle developmental challenges and education programs. Punjab’s PRSC leads in geospatial analytics and stubble-burning monitoring. Meghalaya’s NESAC supports North-
Eastern development, Uttarakhand’s IIRS (ISRO) offers training in remote sensing and disaster
management, and Telangana’s NRSC (ISRO) handles satellite data processing and disaster response.
These centres drive innovation, governance, and sustainability through geospatial technology.
