India
is one of the top-ranking countries in the field of basic research. Indian Science
has come to be regarded as one of the most powerful instruments of growth and
development, especially in the emerging scenario and competitive economy. In the
wake of the recent developments and the new demands that are being placed on the
S&T system, it is necessary for us to embark on some major science projects which
have relevance to national needs and which will also be relevant for tomorrow's
technology. The Department of Science & Technology plays a pivotal role in promotion
of science & technology in the country. The department has wide ranging activities
ranging from promoting high end basic research and development of cutting edge
technologies on one hand to service the technological requirements of the common
man through development of appropriate skills and technologies on the other. | |

Haryana
is a small and prospective state with wide variability of terrain characteristics
and associated ecosystem. Compulsive demand of natural resources due to heavy
demographic pressure and consequent over exploitation and misuse of the available
resources which, if not properly managed and conserved, may lead to ecological
threats. Such situation immediately call for scientific management of natural
resources for achieving the twin objective of meeting the demands of human population
and sustaining improving the environmental balance. Information derived from remote
sensing data on natural resources and environment in conjunction with those conventionally
obtain has the capability to provide the necessary inputs for developing viable
plans for resources assessments, monitoring and management on scientific principles.
