Which of the following organisations classified wastelands by using satellite technology?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → National Remote Sensing Centre
Remote sensing collects data about the earth with satellites, so the ‘satellite technology’ of this question is remote sensing.
NCERT (2026-27): “There are two processes that induce land degradation. These are natural and created by human beings. National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) has classified wastelands by using remote sensing techniques and it is possible to categorise these wastelands according to the processes that have created them.” |
