ACTIVITIES
Realizing the fact that the tasks are beyond the capabilities
of one single person, the WG Chairman sought assistance from
eminent and interested colleagues. Consequently, after a long
search and advisement of the Commission President, two co-
chairmen were appointed:
1. Dr. Caesar Voute (The Netherlands), for the task of
"Development of Training Packages and Lecture Materi-
als"; and
2. Dr. Taichi Oshima (Japan), for the task of "Establish-
ing and continuing links with other sister societies
within the International Union of Surveying and
Mapping (IUSM)'.
The WG Chairman, Sanjib K. Ghosh (Canada), assumed the task of
"Coordinating all efforts and of promotion and development of
education'.
On a closer study of the current status of education in photo-
grammetry and remote sensing, one can realize that there
exists an immediate need of development in three areas of the
world, viz.,
a) The S.E. Asian region;
b) The South and Central American region;
and c) The African region.
In view of the regional promotional task, a committee of five
colleagues in each of the above three regions has been formed.
These groups are representative in terms of their expertise
and their respective types of institution. The list follows:
S.E. Asian Region:
Dr. Kaew Nwalchawee, Asian Institute of Technology,
Thailand
Prof. Hardi Koesalamwardi, Institute of Technology,
Bandung Indonesia
Dr. R.S. Tiwari, Roorkee University India
