NRSA was established in 1982 under the Department of Space, Government of India.

NRSA's primary objective is to provide geospatial data services, including satellite imagery, aerial photography, and other geospatial data, to various users in India.

NRSA primarily uses the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite series for remote sensing. The IRS satellites provide high-resolution imagery and data for various applications.

NRSA Data Services is NRSA's flagship program for providing satellite imagery and data to users. It offers a wide range of data products and services, including satellite imagery, aerial photography, and other geospatial data.

Healthcare is not a major application area of remote sensing technology. Remote sensing is primarily used in applications related to land use, agriculture, forestry, water resources management, and environmental monitoring.

The National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) is a major center of NRSA located in Hyderabad. It is responsible for acquiring, processing, and disseminating satellite data and imagery.

The Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) is a center of NRSA located in Dehradun. It is responsible for education, training, and research in remote sensing and its applications.

Climate data is not a major product of NRSA. NRSA primarily produces satellite imagery, aerial photography, and topographic maps.

Bhuvan is NRSA's program for providing geospatial data and services to various government agencies. It offers a wide range of geospatial data, including satellite imagery, aerial photography, and other geospatial data.

Oceanography is not a major area of research at NRSA. NRSA primarily focuses on research in remote sensing technology, geospatial data processing, and atmospheric science.

Geospatial Data Services is NRSA's program for providing geospatial data and services to the public. It offers a wide range of geospatial data, including satellite imagery, aerial photography, and other geospatial data.

Farmers are not a major user of NRSA's data and services. NRSA's data and services are primarily used by government agencies, private companies, and academic institutions.

The Space Applications Centre (SAC) is a center of NRSA located in Ahmedabad. It is responsible for developing and implementing space applications in various fields, including agriculture, water resources management, and disaster management.

Weather forecasting is not a major application of remote sensing technology in agriculture. Remote sensing is primarily used in agriculture for crop yield estimation, land use mapping, and soil moisture monitoring.

The National Centre for Earth Science Studies (NCESS) is a center of NRSA located in Jodhpur. It is responsible for research in various fields of earth science, including remote sensing, geology, and geophysics.
