•to the Thirteenth International Congress of Photo- 
grammetry, Helsinki, 1976 had given the detailed 
syllabus of the three photogrammetric education 
programme viz*, 710 — Post-graduate level, 560 - 
Technologist or Graduate Level and 450 - Technician 
Level* These three Courses are designed to be 
respectively equivalent to P-1, P-5 and P-8 courses 
of the International Institute of Aerial Survey 
and Earth Sciences (ITC), The Netherlands* We have 
modified the course duration to some extent to suit 
the Indian conditions but in general 9 we devote more 
total hours for theoretical and practical instructions 
for each course* We shall be glad to share our 
experiences with other developing countries* 
The financial constraint has guided India 
to other possibilities of using simpler methods of 
photogrammetry* It v/ill be worth while to recall 
what Professor R.S* Halonen and S* Harmala, Helsinki 
University of Technology, Finland said in their 
invited paper "the Developing Countries as an 
Objective of ISP Activity" presented to the Thirteenth 
International Congress of Photogrammetry, Helsinki, 1976* 
They observed that: 
(a) Photogrammetric projects cover wide areas 
(b) Resources for investment in foreign exchange 
are limited 
(c) Shortage of trained manpower though labour in 
plentiful, 
and recommended that ISP Congress or such conferences should 
concentrate on the needs of the developing countries with the 
above conditions in mind and should try: 
(a) to find methods which should speed up the inventory 
of natural resources, 
(b) to develop basic training of manpower so tha‘„ the 
tasks could be carried out with minimum invest 
ment* 
In their own words "One of the main problems i* 
then to give some short elementary education in order to 
compensate for the shortage of equipment"«
