ISRO Offers 2 Free Online Courses With Certificates for Students & Professionals

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is inviting applications from students and professionals for two online courses. Through its Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) centre, it is offering a course titled Geospatial Modelling for Watershed Management and Geospatial Technology for Hydrological Modelling.

Both the courses are free of cost and candidates will receive a certificate upon completion.
