History

SRSAC earlier knownasAerialPhotoInterpretation Laboratory (APIL) established

in 1979 aspart of Desert Development Programme toassist soiland waterConservation

Planningin theState.

In 1985 looking to multi-disciplinary utility of the Remote sensing Technology, the

laboratory was transferred withstafftoState Department ofscienceand Technology and

renamedasStateRemoteSensing Application Centre (SRSAC).

Objectives

Generation of number of database related to natural resources fordevelopmentalplanningactivitiesinthestateusing remotesensing techniques(Aerial PhotoInterpretationandSatellite

data interpretationbothvisuallyaswellasdigitalmode).

To generatedata bank consisting of temporal and spatial dataproductsandtogenerateinformationsystemonnaturalresources.

Tointeractwithvarious user agencies for the formulation and implementationof

RemoteSensingProjectsfordevelopmentplanning.

To undertake short term and long term experimental and operational remote sensing

studies to identify, and manage various natural resources such as soil, water, forest,

agriculture, minerals, settlement,townplanning,drainage,roadsand geology for monitoring

changes due to natural calamities such as drought, flood andalsotoevaluatelandusechanges.

Human Resource Development in the field of remote sensing by organizing short

term appraisal courses / seminars or workshop / exhibitions on remote sensing

application for the user departments, agencies,NGOsandstudents.

To interact with National Remote sensing Institute like National Remote Sensing

agency (NRSA), Hyderabad, Space Application Centre (SAC), Ahmedabad, Regional

RemoteSensingServiceCentre (RRSSC),Jodhpurtocarryoutjointprojects.

All natural resources developmentplanning isbased on watershed approach.

Thisrequiresspatialdistributionandcharacterizationofwatershedat microlevel.

Watershed delineation hasbeen done using satellite data as well as aerialphotographsfor

allthePanchayatsamitiblocksof theState.

Using remote sensing inputs characterization up to micro level depicts slope direction,

extent, land use characterizationcultivated area, wasteland, drainage density, based on per

cent cultivated area and drainagedensitypriotisation hasalsobeendone.

These have proved to be valuable data base for taking up watershed development

works, based on which huge funding isbeing received from GovernmentofIndiaunder

variousschemes.
