✅ The snow and glaciers of the Himalayan region are monitored in a regular manner.
✅ Mapping of India is performed to check the desertification status.
✅ Remote sensing and geographic information technologies are employed to check the soil and water qualities in salt-affected areas of Nagapattinam district in Tamil Nadu.
✅ Upgraded technologies have been used to explore energy plantation opportunities, for integrated land use, water and energy management.
✅ Natural resources assessment of selected eco-tourism sites of Gujarat and its surrounding environment has been conducted using remote sensing and GIS.
