The document discusses operational remote sensing applications in India. It outlines the institutional mechanisms for natural resource management using remote sensing data from Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) satellites. Some key applications discussed are natural resource inventories, land use/land cover mapping, agriculture monitoring, drought and flood assessment, and the FASAL program for multi-crop forecasting using remote sensing, agrometeorology and ground data. National level inventories are done at 180m, 60m and 24m resolutions with finer scales at state and district levels.
