Objective of the Council is to identify areas in which Science and Technology could be used for bringing overall socio-economic development of the State and also to inculcate scientific temper and outlook by popularizing science among masses in general and student community in particular. This would help in creating interest among masses about scientific and technological advances made elsewhere and demonstrating the benefits accruing to the society. Efforts would also be made to create interest among students to take up subjects related to science and technology while pursuing their education at higher level. The Council is also acting as the nodal agency of the Department of Science & Technology (DST) Government of India for the State of Chhattisgarh. This Council has under taken host of activities since its establishment. A brief note about the activities initiated and undertaken since inception and during recent years are summarised in this activity report. iii CCOST Activity Profile, Raipur 1. Chhattisgarh Space Application Centre Chhattisgarh Space Application Centre (CGSAC) is providing technical support to government departments of the state and other agencies in matters related to GIS and Remote Sensing Application. It was considered necessary to harness space technology in the management of Natural as well as Man-made resources for the overall development of the state. Information about resources and their periodic change on GIS platform with overlay of satellite images are helpful in drawing meaningful inferences for scientific planning and methodical execution. 1.1. Projects Completed Under the umbrella of Chhattisgarh Council of Science & Technology, Chhattisgarh Space Application Centre is providing Remote Sensing & GIS based inputs to user departments of the State and National Organizations. Some of the projects handled by CGSAC are discussed below: 1.1.1. Crop Acreage and Production Estimation (CAPE) Crop Acreage and Production Estimation for major crops both Kharif & Rabi is being done using RADARSAT-SCANNAR data to generate crop census in advance, for estimation of production and acreage, before the harvest of crop. This activity was undertaken from 2003 to 2010. The data generated was helpful to farmers, planners and decision makers of the State. Crop Acreage and Production Estimation (CAPE) Project was sponsored by Space Applications Centre, ISRO, Ahmedabad and was executed by Chhattisgarh Council of Science & Technology and Chhattisgarh Space Application Centre. The project is now transformed with a new nomenclature as FASAL, an operational unit under Department of Agriculture & Co-operation, Government of India. Methodology: Flow Chart, Satellite Image and data analysis are depicted below: 1 CCOST Activity Profile, Raipur Methodology RADAR Satellite Data Analysis 1.1.2. National Wasteland Up-dation Mission Under Wasteland Up-dation Mission, National Remote Sensing Centre, allocated Wasteland Up-dation for Durg, Dhamtari, Raipur and Mahasamund District of Chhattisgarh State and was executed by the Council. The objective of this project was to prepare the up-dated wasteland maps of these districts using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS) LISS-III precision corrected data of year 2003 and also to detect changes using earlier database. The project was a part of National Natural Resource Census under NNRMS, NRSC, ISRO, Hyderabad. 1.1.3. Groundwater Conservation and Management Chhattisgarh Council of Science & Technology supported Public Health Engineering Department, Government of Chhattisgarh for preparation of Rainwater Harvesting, Artificial recharge in four selected watersheds of Chhattisgarh. 1.1.4.
