The Indian Institute of Remote Sensing is an institute for research, higher education and training in the field of remote sensing, geoinformatics and GPS technology for natural resources, environmental and disaster management. The institute was established in the year 1966 under the Indian Department of Space.[2] It is located in the city of Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
Formerly known as Indian Photo-interpretation Institute (IPI), the institute was founded on 21 April 1966 under the aegis of Survey of India (SOI). It was established with the collaboration of the government of the Netherlands on the pattern of the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente, formerly known as the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences. The original idea of setting the institute came from India's first prime minister, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, during his visit to the Netherlands in 1957.
The institute's building at Kalidas Road, Dehradun was inaugurated on 27 May 1972.[3]
Reorganisation of the IIRS as independent unit of ISROedit
The IIRS was reorganized as a separate entity of ISRO w.e.f. 30 April 2011. IIRS will continue its Training, Education and Research programmes with enhanced focus on Microwave Remote Sensing, Hyperspectral Remote Sensing and Climate studies.
The institute will be guided by a Management Council which will provide overall direction for the development of the institute. Dr. P.S. Roy, Outstanding Scientist has been appointed as the first Director of IIRS w.e.f 30 April 2011.
Coursesedit
The focus of the IIRS is training and education in the field of Geoinformatics. Technology and applications of Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS are taught in the form of training and education.[4]
