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.
