IIRS was established in 1966 under the Department of Space, Government of India.

IIRS has a multi-faceted role, including promoting the use of remote sensing technology, conducting research, and providing training in remote sensing and GIS.

While IIRS promotes the use of remote sensing technology in various fields, healthcare is not a major application area.

IIRS utilizes data from various satellite missions, including Landsat, Sentinel, and MODIS, for its remote sensing applications.

The Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing is the official publication of IIRS.

While IIRS conducts research in various areas of remote sensing, quantum computing is not a major research focus.

IIRS organizes the annual National Conference on Remote Sensing, which brings together experts from various fields to discuss the latest advancements in remote sensing technology.

IIRS offers postgraduate and doctoral programs in remote sensing, but it does not offer a certificate course in remote sensing.

IIRS is an institution under the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

The headquarters of IIRS is located in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India.

IIRS has major centers in Dehradun, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, but not in Chennai.

IIRS collaborates with NASA, Sentinel Asia, and GEO, but not with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

While IIRS has made significant contributions in other areas, the development of the Geospatial Data Infrastructure (GDI) is not directly attributed to IIRS.

While IIRS promotes the use of remote sensing technology in various agricultural applications, weather forecasting is not a direct application of remote sensing.

While IIRS promotes the use of remote sensing technology in various forestry applications, wildlife habitat mapping is not a direct application of remote sensing.
