Integrated Mission for Sustainable Development (IMSD) was conceptualised as a national endeavour to reach the benefits of space technology to the common man.  It is a mission to translate the applications of remote sensing for rural development.  The approach takes into consideration various elements of natural resources, viz.,  all base layers, existing landuse / landcover, soil map, hydrogeomorphology, terrain slope, drainage,  watershed maps and local peoples' aspirations with respect of socio economic considerations to suggest a suitable action plan for sustainable development of land and water after  scientific analysis of the spatial and non-spatial data.
