The training and capacity building programme of North eastern Space Applications Centre was started from its inception. It is initiated not only for the beneficiaries of North eastern States but also of national level in various fields where space technology inputs has a role to play. Large numbers of outreach and capacity building programme have been organized by NESAC for maximum utilization of geospatial inputs for planning and developmental activities. Two regular two weeks training course on Remote Sensing and GIS technology and applications have been conducted by NESAC in every year since 2016 in addition to the other outreach programs.
A number of students from different parts of the country have been carrying out their BTech/MTech/MSc dissertation work in NESAC in every year under the supervision of NESAC Scientists and Engineers.
