INTRODUCTION
The National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organisation (formerly National Atlas Organisation) was set
up in 1956. The organization is engaged in preparation of maps and atlases of different themes using
aerial photographs, remote sensing data, GIS, Field surveys etc. The organization is unique of its kind in
the country in the field of Thematic Cartography and Geographical research. It has imparted training to
Geographers, Geologists and Professionals from various disciplines belonging to various state / central
government departments, Universities, colleges and autonomous institutions. NATMO offers the
following training programs in the various fields of Cartography, Remote Sensing, Global Positioning
System and Geographical Information System during the period from 1st. February, 2014 to 31st.
