IIRS (Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun)-ISRO Outreach Programmes have been initiated by IIRS-ISRO as an extension of scope of utilizing EDUSAT/INSAT 4CR satellite for distance learning to use the internet to avail access to a large number of institutions/universities /individuals with little cost to the user. Today these programmes are linking more professional and user departments and ministries in the country to develop their skills in geospatial technologies and its applications.
V.V.P. Engineering College, Rajkot has been an Active Nodal Center for IIRS -ISRO Outreach Programmes since June 2020 to avail the benefits of IIRS Outreach Programmes for students and Staff members.
V.V.P. Engineering College, Rajkot has also received the prestigious Best IIRS Nodal Center Award 2022 all over India on 28-3-2023.
